Toto: Melanie



Until Suki asked prompted me to search for one, I had no idea there was a song out there with my name in it. I was 11 years old when Toto came out with "Africa" and remember my brother playing it so loud the picture window in our living room shook. I still have a soft spot for that song.

Of course, 'Africa' makes me weep sometimes :-)

Sweet song. Love those revolving light globe things. Seems to suit you.

The only one I know for me is that Kiss song, Beth I hear you calling.

Aren't you happy you searched for that song...I think it is beautiful:)...any songs that rhyme with Gail have got to be terrible...
