Toto – Rosanna (Subtitled)
Exclusive video!
"Rosanna" is a hit single, one of the best known by 1980s rock band Toto, and the opening track from the 1982 album Toto IV. "Rosanna" won a Record of the Year Grammy Award. The song peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 5 consecutive weeks. "Rosanna" was written by the band's primary songwriter, David Paich. The song was widely understood to refer to band member Steve Porcaro's defunct relationship with the actress Rosanna Arquette. However, the entire thing was actually a coincidence- the rest of the song was already finished, and Paich needed a name that fit well in the chorus. The music video features Cynthia Rhodes as the lead dancer and young Patrick Swayze as one of the male dancers. The B-side of the single was the song "It's a Feeling," also on the album Toto IV. Art of Noise used a one second sample of Rosanna on their 1983 track "Beat Box (Diversion One)," featured on both Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise? and Daft.

You know, of course, that this was written by David Paich about Rosanna Arquette. (They were an item for a while!)
