Toto - Africa

[Captain Z]

1000 thank yous for this!
Been playing loads of his stuff in the garden whilst barbecuing last weekend.

Love this remix and the acid edit of Talking Heads is incredible!

I like both of those too, you may also like this chilled remix of 'Jump Around':

was looking at some recent live performances of toto doing africa, figured it'd be better to listen to the actual singer of the chorus

Not quite, it's not a mountain compared to the exact same mountain, it's to a similar large mountain, hence similar large cat.

The lion ran as fast as a different lion?

Barely any MOR/AOR shite makes sense if you pay attention to it.

That is diabolically terrible. Especially from about 4:15.
Wild dogs cry out in the night indeed.

I think it's kinda interesting harmonically, a hallmark of many of their songs. It's well produced. Great vocal. The synth solo is aggressively bad though, and I like really over the top eighties keyboard stuff.

It's something kitsch that was initially mocked and has become cool as a result.

It's no Hold The Line or Rosanna, though.

People without a giving nature and a sense of humour?

Wacky cunts.

It's Bregsit time babey, fuck charity.

This is also happening at the Lexington in London. I will be burning it down personally after blocking the toilets.

They missed a trick.  Should have done it with The Specials - Ghost Town.

I think it would genuinely be an interesting experience to be in a room full of drunks having to tolerate Africa for hours on end.

I'm hoping they all get hospitalised and their drips get hooked up to each others anuses.
