"Human Nature" was written by Toto?! (things I was not meant to know)

I used to agree with Jeph Jacques that "Africa" was the best Toto song, but then, for reasons I no longer remember, I looked at the Wikipedia page for "Human Nature" and discovered that the best song on the Thriller album** was co-written by Steve Porcaro of Toto.

Sure, sure, the song desperately needed John Bettis' lyrics and Jackson's superior voice talents, but this is one of those things I can never unlearn.


** I will accept "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" as an alternative; these are the only songs on the album that I still really enjoy 30 years later.
