"Stranger in Town" is a hit song by American rock band Toto from their 1984 album Isolation.

[3] The song was the band's highest-ever charting Mainstream Rock track, eventually peaking at number 7.

Though Bobby Kimball is officially credited as a guest musician on the album, having been fired from Toto, "Stranger in Town" was recorded while he was still a member of the group.

The music video (filmed in black and white and directed by Steve Barron) and lyrics to the song are based on the film Whistle Down the Wind, about an escaped convict who runs into a group of children that mistake him for Jesus.

[4] Actor Brad Dourif plays the convict, and new member Fergie Frederiksen appears as a murder victim.
