Toto - Africa (Video)

[nickcarraway]

As long as they don’t put it on toast.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

This song is an absolute jam. Who said crackas ain’t got no soul?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

DANG!

[LouieFisk]

“rousing rocker”
—
More in the the way of “sleepy easy-listening” than rousing rocker.
Not a bad tune, but not quite a heavy metal headbanger.

[Hugin]

“rousing rocker”???

LMAO. It’s a pretty tune, but not “rousing” or a “rocker”.

[Deaf Smith]

If one reads the lyrics of Africa, it is the punch line of Larry The Cable Guy’s “And bless the starving pygmies in New Guinea.”

[BenLurkin]

Somebody needs to straighten those boys out. Time for some old-fashioned barn dance music.

[a fool in paradise]

the kids who went to college in 2000 and the kids who are starting college this year are from different generations.

Millennial is a bullsh!t statistic.

[GOP_Party_Animal]

This is a pretty cool version:

Acapella Africa

[rstrahan]

You go to any piano bar, etc, a lot of 70’s and 80’s music is the preferred music of Millenials.

“All I want to do when I wake up in the morning is see your eyes.”
I like this one better. Solid band.

I like this one better. Same group, same time period.

Metallica - “Of Wolf And Man”

“Of Wolf And Man”

Off through the new day’s mist I run
Out from the new day’s mist I have come
I hunt
Therefore I am
Harvest the land
Taking of the fallen lamb

Off through the new day’s mist I run
Out from the new day’s mist I have come
We shift
Pulsing with the earth
Company we keep
Roaming the land while you sleep

Shape shift, nose to the wind
Shape shift, feeling I’ve been
Move swift, all senses clean
Earth’s gift, back to the meaning
Back to the meaning of life

Bright is the moon, high in starlight
Chill in the air cold as steel tonight
We shift
Call of the wild
Fear in your eyes
It’s later than you realized

Shape shift, nose to the wind
Shape shift, feeling I’ve been
Move swift, all senses clean
Earth’s gift, back to the meaning
Back to the meaning of life

I feel a change
Back to a better day
Shape shift, hair stands on the back of my neck
Shape shift, in wildness is the preservation of the world
So seek the wolf in thyself

Shape shift, nose to the wind
Shape shift, feeling I have been
Move swift, all senses clean
Earth’s gift, back to the meaning
Back to the meaning of wolf and man

My uncle had a hunting ranch in north Transvaal. About 2000 hectares. He had a hell of a hunting lodge. It was the only song he played, over and over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over over and over

To this day I will punch anyone even humming the tune in their mouth.

[Yardstick]

I love that dang song. The video is cheesy but has a great patina thanks to being shot on celluloid.

[UnwashedPeasant]

The lead singer for Toto is Joseph Williams, the son of composer John Williams.

But he joined the band after "Africa" was a hit.

[Fiji Hill]

I like this song, which portrays the neighborhood in which I lived until shortly before the song came out.

Sunset People--Donna Summer (1979)

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

This is my favorite Africa tune. Reminds of a bunch of guys I knew who could really play drums, bongos and congas. It was fun without anything but drums Santana Mother Africa

Listening to this you can almost imagine being in Africa.
