In the late 1970's the group TOTO came out with a song called '99'. Can someone tell me who or what 99 is/are?

Toto keyboard player David Paich wrote this song, which he explained is inspired by the 1971 movie THX-1138, which was the first full-length film directed by George Lucas of Star Wars fame. Writes Paich: "This movie is set in the 25th-century in a totalitarian state where mankind is stripped of any individuality. People are numbered drones, and a government-enforced program of sedation controls the populace. Lucas used THX as the name for his movie theater sound system."

I saw this and then saw it elsewhere which confirmed it's accuracy. 99 does refer to the numbered drones. Thanks again. |

'99 was the "Y2K" scare at it's peak.
Consider this SOLVED!

on youtube it says "a song inspired by the George Lucas movie THX-1138 about a society where people were given numbers instead of names". So 99 would probably the "name" of some guy. Why "99" instead of 88 or 77? No clue.
