(1) Toy-Box (http://www.toy-box.dk.tp) is a Danish pop group formed in the 1990s. It consists of two members, both vocalists: Anila Mirza and Amir El-Falaki. Anila was born October 8, 1974 in Hillerød, Denmark to a half-Pakistani, half-Persian mother, and an Indian father. Amir was born August 12, 1973 in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 1999, they had some success in the Scandinavian music charts with a bubblegum pop song from their album Fantastic, named "Tarzan & Jane". Toy-Box's first album, Fantastic, included the hits "The Sailor Song", "Best Friend", "Super-Duper-Man", "Teddy-Bear" and "Tarzan & Jane". It was released in September 1999 and followed in 2001 by a second album, Toyride, which included fan-favorite songs "Www.girl", "Prince of Arabia" and "Wizard of Oz". The group has broken up. Amir is working as a dance teacher, music video choreographer and trainer to F.C. Copenhagen's cheerleading team. Anila changed her name to Aneela and began a solo career.
(2) Toy Box (http://www.myspace.com/toyboxmusic) is a post-grunge alternative metal band from Ontario, Canada, formed in 2004 by Deriek Simon (lead vocals, guitars), Carmine Mallia (drums, percussion), and Duncan McIlroy (bass, vocals). After touring across Canada in 2004—including performances at Edgefest, sharing stages with Finger Eleven, Thornley, Idle Sons, Scratching Post, Swollen Members, Rascals, and Clarknova—Toy Box rolled into the Voodoo Records studios, Canada’s hottest independent label, to create a full length album. Their onstage energy is immediately addictive to anyone who has had the opportunity to catch a live performance. Likewise, this energy and massive sound has been captured in their debut album The Assasination Of... released in the fall of 2007. Beautifully crafted, poetic lyrics, razor sharp guitar riffs, groovy bass lines, beefy drum beats that would make John Bonham proud. This has been contrasted with string and piano arrangements delicately placed throughout to form a dramatic backdrop for vocals so powerful and intense your brain begs for more.
(3) Toybox (http://www.myspace.com/toyboxband) is also a UK glam-rock band, based in Northampton and Brighton, consisting of Alice Acidosis, Cinderella Swallows, Roberta Rim Job, and Nurse KKK.
(4) Toybox (http://www.myspace.com/toybx) is a US rock band based in Tempe, Arizona, consisting of Yohei (Vocals, Bass), Naoto (Guitar, Vocals), and Celica (Drums).

S.O.S.
S.O.S.
Are you ready for a thriller night
It will scare you so just hold on tight
There is something scary in the air
I promise tonight I'll be right here
In every single show
They'll tell you ready or not
'Cause this is the night
S.O.S.
Is there somebody out there?
Is there somebody in here?
S.O.S.
They're coming for somebody
So watch out everybody

I don't think they're after us no more
Shh, be still 'cause I can hear the door
Let me see if there's somebody there
Please don't go, don't leave me waiting here
Everywhere we go

They emerge from the shadows
And stay out till dawn
I ain't afraid of no ghosts

Toy-Box's "S.O.S." is a fast-paced pop song that describes a thrilling and scary night. The opening lines, "Are you ready for a thriller night, it will scare you so just hold on tight," set up the tone of the song. The song is narrated through the eyes of someone being pursued by an unknown entity, possibly ghosts. The chorus of the song is an urgent call for help, a plea for someone to come to their rescue. The lyrics, "S.O.S., is there someone out there? Is there somebody in here? They're coming for somebody, so watch out everybody, S.O.S.," are repeated multiple times throughout the song.
The second verse, however, suggests that the pursuers may no longer be after the singer. They whisper "Shh, be still 'cause I can hear the door, let me see if there's somebody there, please don't go, don't leave me waiting here." However, the chorus is repeated again, making the listener believe the ghosts are still after someone.
Overall, "S.O.S." tells a spooky story that is open to interpretation, and the catchy rhythm and repetition of the chorus make it a memorable tune. The lyrics suggest that no matter where you go or what you do, the spirits are always there, and you should watch out.
