Reviews
- Edited 3 years agoI have a copy of this with original Deutchmark price sticker on it. Pre-Euro. Love it. I always wondered what they were doing posing around some kind of big BBQ grill on the front cover :)

Holy Cow, this is pure C. R. A. P. are the legitimate owners of the rights of Africa aware of this cacophonic abhorrence?

Stellar, own a copy myself from eBay. Both play excellently.referencing Africa (7", 45 RPM, Single, Stereo) CBSA 2510
Was there really never an extended version of this song?

Ugh, this one...
It's a relatively pleasing song the internet force-fed to me; one too many times. It's gotten to the point where I can't even hear the song on the radio without letting out a large groan. I vividly remember listening to this song a while back, when I was doing some schoolwork, and I felt good because it made me feel unique... And then the memes began. And got more and more prominent as time went on. Eventually, as soon as Weezer did that music video with "Weird Al" Yankovic, I'd had it. The meme had gone too far.
I-I don't even know how the meme started. The only answer from people I seem to get is "It's a really good song!" So? "Magic" by The Cars is an awesome song, but you don't see tasteless memes popping up left and right of the song. Therefore, it's not a proper explanation.
This meme of a song needs to die. It's time to leave this meme in the past, and move on to better things. I'm not bashin' Toto or the song in general, I actually like the song; I'm just saying that this song has been beaten to the ground like a dead horse.
I'm BeatlELO10538, and I'm still waiting for Boston's Greatest Hits to come out on vinyl.

It is a success more of the essential English culture well-known commercial song is own review lived the visit to Africa launching highly many copies of sale and very put in radios worldwide to date since 1983 being a traditional Pop Rock of the time Recorded in the Missing CBS Inc.
Catalogued by experts as the best song of the ToTo group

I like electronic music but I must admit this and other songs of this time are great.10 / 10
One of the illest pop songs of 1982.
