Human Nature (OUT OF PLAY: Steve Porcaro, the keyboardist for the rock band Toto, wrote the song after he came home one day to find her daughter crying after a bullying incident. While explaining why people act like that, he told her it was just “human nature.” The phrase stuck with him, Toto goes into the studio, Porcaro toys around with the melody and records a demo, bim bam boom, Quincy Jones gives the demo to Michael Jackson, the rest is history. Porcaro made “millions” from the song according to the NPR story I heard about it.) **Songs by bands named for animals** 1. Eagles - “Hotel California” ---
