Alphaville The band name for Toto derived from Jeff Porcaro and David Paich watching Wizard of Oz one day, but it was only after their original bassist David Hungate told them that Toto meant "everything" or "all-encompassing" in Latin, that they adopted the name, due to all of them being session musicians and all being capable of playing different styles.
