"99" is a song by the American rock band Toto. The song appeared on the Hydra album in 1979. As a single, it reached number 26 on the Billboard charts. In Canada, the song peaked at number 17 on the RPM singles chart. The full album version of the song includes a gentle piano-driven ride out, while the single edit fades the song out before that part. Many years later, Steve Lukather confessed that he didn't like "99" and said that it was one of his least favorite of the band's songs, which is why it was rarely performed after the Hydra Tour.
