A VIBE!| Toto - Georgy Porgy | FIRST TIME HEARING REACTION

[@Shrykespeare]

Always down for some Toto!! Fun fact - Cheryl "Got To Be Real" Lynn does the female vocals on this song! Some of Toto's other bangers include "99", "Pamela", "Animal" (the HORNS!!), "Stranger in Town", and "Stop Loving You". Gotta love David Paich's keyboards here!! Also, I think you would love the Alan Parsons Project. "Eye in the Sky" would be a great place to start.

[@talon8537]

I agree completely been trying to get them to check out Allen Parsons Project for a while now. Even enticed it a bit by explaining that Allen Parsons was a sound engineer for several Pink Floyd projects

[@mikealness9211]

Yes, "Eye in the Sky" would be a great song to react to, but make sure you do a version that starts with the instrumental "Sirius". They should always be done together!

[@Sisallaboutthelove]

Or "Games People Play"

@@talon8537 Oh lord that would be awesome.Eye in the sky and Time.I believe the live versions were the best performances when Alan and J.P did the vocals

Cheryl Lynn sings backup on this. “Georgie Porgie” is a very popular traditional English nursery rhyme, dating back to the 19th century. The song was first published with different lyrics, in James Orchard Halliwell’s collection in 1840. The author George Bernard Shaw (born 1856) refers to the lyrics of Georgie Porgie from his childhood, so this version must be at least that old. Although there are no evidences about this, the lyrics of “Georgie Porgie” are a reference to the 1st Duke of Buckingham, the courtier George Villiers (1592-1628). Th

Indeed it was Cheryl Lynn and she herself had a one hit wonder called "Got to be Real". You guys already reacted to it.

[@elgonwilliams7624]

Cheryl was in an ajacent studio recording some vocals for her own project. Since Steve "Luke" Lukather said in an interview that he refused to sing the Georgy Porgy" lyric, so, they asked her to do it. And she made that part her own.

Georgie Porgie and other nursery rhymes were very popular in America as well. I’m not sure if people under 40 have ever read nursery rhymes. I’m well over 40 and grew up reading them.

[@stormy8207]

Georgie Porgie is a child's nursery Rhyme in case you don't know. A lot of the old nursery rhymes have been forgotten these days. Georgie Porgie, Puddin’ and Pie, Kissed the girls and made them cry, When the boys came out to play Georgie Porgie ran away

When the heir to the throne wanted a woman, she didn’t get to say no. He destroyed them, ruined careers and left them with kids he never recognized. He had at least six illegitimate children. He pretended they didn’t exist and moved on to the next mistress when he got bored. Toto has a way of making you dance to and about a disgusting individual.

This song was Toto's follow-up to their Top 40 debut hit, Hold The Line. The song was a bigger hit on the Billboard Soul chart than the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It peaked at the #18 spot on the Billboard Soul chart. On the Billboard Hot 100 chart, it peaked at the #48 spot during the early summer of 1979. The female backup vocals belong to the one and only r&b singer, Cheryl Lynn. The song is a banger indeed!!!

I've always loved this song. I think it's very underrated. David Hungates bass was excellent in this. The whole arrangement is superb.

I think the reason this song didn’t do as well as it should have is girls in the 70’s didn’t care for the lyric “kiss the girls and make them cry”?

[@buddystewart2020]

It was possibly a song discriminated by DJ’s for its strange lyrics of Georgy Porgy suggesting Georgy was a poor man?

Georgy Porgy is an old nursery rhyme. The female vocalist singing Georgy Porgy is Cheryl Lynn who you reacted to with the song "Got to be real". I believe Toto was the backing band on that track.

[@rennielepine]

Toto were some of the greatest session artists.Meaning members played on some of the greatest tracks by other artists including Boz Scaggs and Michael Jackson.Jeff Porcaro is and was known as the hardest working drummer in the music industry.Toto members grew up together and once they found total success no one could stop them and continue to this day despite the tragic passings of several members.These guys are THE super group along with The Eagles and are my favorite musicians period.

Another fun fact - I watched an interview with one of the members from Toto. He (David Paich) said the idea for the chorus in that song came from a conversation he had with is friend who recently had a child. He asked "What cha been reading these days?" His friend hands him a nursery rhyme book. "Georgie Porgie, Puddin’ and Pie, Kissed the girls and made them cry, When the boys came out to play Georgie Porgie ran away" The rest was history!

[@edalisauskas7313]

Several members of Toto (the guitar player, drummer, piano player) were Boz Scaggs backup band prior to Toto. You may have reacted to him This is where the R&B vibe comes from. In fact, Steve Lukethar (on vocals here) sounds so much like Boz on this cut. The female vocal is Cheryl Lynn who had a disco hit in the late 70s (Got to be Real) you'd recognize it if you heard it. Probably was in a few movies or commmercials. You wanna know the talent level here? Steve Lukethar was THE guitar player on so many records in the 80s If you hear any killer guitar solos on an 80s hit most likely it was Steve Think, Running with the Night (Lionel Richie) Beat it (Michael Jackson, all guitars and co-writing credit except for the Eddie Van Halen solo) In fact, he was very instrumental in the making of the entire Thriller album So many more The rest of the members have just as impressive a resume. Jeff Porcaro (rhe drummer, RIP, is a legend) lots of work with Steely Dan to name a few David Paich (the piano player and leader) was a known songwriter, producer and musical director for several famous artists. George Benson, Rod Stewart etc.. He also worked on the Thriller album Toto. Goofy name, but killer musicians & songwriters! Dig deep. They have lots of good ones Try: 99 Goodbye Girl I'll be over you Hydra Enjoy your reactions!! Take care of the little ones ;-)
