Africa (Song)

Africa is a 1980's song written & performed by Toto, supposedly named after the Continent of the same name. It is also an Internet Meme that has been used in a variety of of social media platforms. The song is best known for taking place down in Africa. In 2018, a fan-girl convinced American Band Weezer to cover the iconic song, although in a lower note, also done in some fashion with Astronomia. The song was also parodied as Ocean To Ocean by Pitbull in Aquaman, released in 2018, much to most people's anger & disgust.

Lyrics:
I hear the drums echoing tonight, but she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation.

She's coming in, 12:30 flight, the moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide towards salvation.

I stopped an old man along the way, hoping to find some old, forgotten words of ancient melodies.

He turned to me as if to say: "Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you".

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you. There's nothing that 100 men or more could ever do.

I bless the rains down in Africa. It's gonna take some time to do the things we never had.

The wild dogs cry out in the night as they grow restless longing for some solitary company.

I know that I must do what's right, sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus amongst the serengeti.

I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become.

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you. There's nothing that 100 men or more could ever do.

I bless the rains down in Africa. It's gonna take some time to do the things we never had.

"Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you".

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you. There's nothing that 100 men or more could ever do.

I bless the rains down in Africa.

I bless the rains down in Africa.

I bless the rains down in Africa.

I bless the rains down in Africa.

I bless the rains down in Africa. It's gonna take some time to do the things we never had.
