2. Relient K - "Africa (Toto Cover)"

[DragonBeOn]

call me testicles, but this sounds better than the original

[xXDemonicFlawlessXx]

@DragonBeOn no it doesn't! the original is awesome.

[rabbiterose98]

I bless the rains on down on this cover.

[MorphineInMyBlood]

They'll never be Toto.

But it's still a damn good song!

[BombWarning]

Not as good as Toto, but better than Karl Wolf's cover

[Pirakaslayer]

Love the cover! But I keep waiting to hear the gong at the end of the chorus... and it's not there. :P

[jodstar1995]

they played this song at parachute about 3 nights ago !! i was at the front of the mosh RIGHT INFRONT OF THE STAGE !! effin amazing !! <3 i got signatures from all of them and also got thrown one of the guitar picks they used when playing !! woo !!

[jgr1823]

@jodstar1995 I was there too-so cool

[dtuckerization]

These guys never cease to amaze me

[kadielovesu13]

I'm pretty sure I just raped the replay button... (:

[rockman0809]

Ok, I have to say that 3:24-3:36 was EPIC! :-O

[rockman0809]

Yes, whoever said that nothing is as good as the original, never heard this cover then. :)

[dalf22]

@fargoot i think that was not urine... xP

[sk8erchic1234]

Im in love with Relient K all over again. <3

[rociogac]

Great, great cover, sounds perfect, a true tribute to the original!

[pbclown459]

I love how Relient K can take an already great song and make it their own with out totally butchering it!

[oliviaxoxojb]

This is truly a work of art. They did such a great job on this! <3

[JokersGoil]

I think I'm in love. I've heard of Relient K, but I never knew the band had such a love for 80s music. <3 Awesome music.

[shinachiku]

かっこええやん

[laurahhhhx3]

Just heard this cover for the first time. Day=Made.

[spngrl101]

Does the acapella part give anyone else tons of goosebumps?

[Iceman3524]

@spngrl101 Yes! I love that part!

[limetang]

@spngrl101 Agreed. Awesome part of the song.

[TheAnnamarie85]

@spngrl101 Uhmm... the WHOLE SONG gave me goosebumps :D

[DoctorFunkify]

Behind avenged sevenfold relient k is one of my favorite bands

[Lewis0Bunney]

@DoctorFunkify ...

[Ignelux]

Gosh, this song gives me major goosebumps :D

[darkmonkey333]

@joevanderscott

That's exactly what I was thinking man, love chuck so much and how amazing relient k can do covers of these songs.

[joevanderscott42]

jeffster

[skoller4]

matt thiessen, please marry me.



[stevans]

This is EXACTLY how covers should be done! It pisses me off off when bands change songs that aren't theirs to begin with. Relient K have definitely done this classic song justice, it's amazing!

[adam985185]

Very great cover, BUT NO ONE BEATS THE ORIGINAL!!!

[TheStateofMindHD]

@ABBAnMJ Your sarcasm humors me.

[TheStateofMindHD]

@ABBAnMJ Just reminding you that crack is illegal and posting comments while under the influence of crack is not going to get you anywhere in life.

[ABBAnMJ]

Just reminding you that I am NOT on crack and am most offended that any of my comments would make it seem so.

[BjawLtoes]

The only better cover is the one done by Jeffster!

[jimcoolfilms]

@BjawLtoes chuck?

[ABBAnMJ]

9 people decided to try a trick and click the "like" button with their eyes closed. Great job guys...you messed up.

[prettyniftythreads]

@ABBAnMJ Terrible.

[teeshalove]

one of my all time favorite songs!!!!! a group did an a Capella version at my school AMAZING!!!!

[Asaphillipblack]

Yes. Yes. Yes.

[audiostratus]

Honestly .. I think I might like this more than the original .... which is something I almost never say about a cover lol Amazing work!

[LockyRabbetts]

Relient K at least know how to cover a song without ruining it or try to out do the originals. So good.

[Musicaljunki]

someone please explain this band now. 

[joemomma824]

@Musicaljunki theyre amazing. thats pretty much all u need to know..

[Musicaljunki]

[airnza380]

[ExploadingFruitcup]

@fargoot .....TMI, but yes I agree with you this is amazing:)

[epicness22]

I don't like it. Nothing beats the original...

[flipflop3sixty]

I love this song!!! :D

[mikandre90]

Of course it's a faithful. -K for Karaoke- right?

[TheAnnamarie85]

I LOVE THIS :) OMG <33

[Mizabif]

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from this song.

[lesartisss]

@Mizabif so much pun hahah love it



[Aardbeienijs100]

WOW! okay, i lovev toto very much, but i have to say that this is MUCH BETTER! and i always toto was genious and great! Relient K <3

[RandomThoughtGuy]

Man the vocal harmony was incredible, definitely an awesome cover

[ghost86ROFL]

love the original but god do i adore relient k. LOVED SEEING THEM AT WARPED '11

like if you found relient k from what they did for veggie tales

[ABBAnMJ]

What'd they do for Veggie tales?

[PenVersusSword1974]

@ABBAnMJ They did 'The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything'.

[ABBAnMJ]

@PenVersusSword1974 Oh Yeaaaah okay

[BloodxLover]

The singer is trying to hard and this style of song IS NOT for him. The music doesnt flow together in the beginning. I understand that if ur covering a song u need to tweak it a bit so it has ur personal touch to it but... just fail so far.. He is making it a huge point to pronounce the words correctly and its ruining the song.. Okay.. after the lyrics "Things we never haaaaaad" its not just "dooo dooo" like a sound. its "tooo dooo" listen to the original before u remake it tard.

[yarrrv]

@BloodxLover ... just whipped out my Toto greatest hits album to make sure...

It says "things we never haaaaaaaad... ooooo oooo"

listen to an actual studio mixed CD instead of your 128kb/s mp3 rips

besides, the band playing the song is allowed to do whatever they want

cheers!

[Greenie369]

3:24 gives me chills. I'm a sucker for a good harmony.

[Jazeeyamoree]

aw they did this at Paramore's Australian tour last year. It was so perfecttttt.

[CFaithDolie]

Oh look! 6 people have greasy hands, slipped and accidentally hit the dislike button! Woops!

[hihahary2]

i prefer the original, the vocals dont seem to match the instruments somehow...

[videokid1235]

@hihahary2 what do you know this is better than the origional

[FineFlu]

i like the original more but, this is by no means, bad. this is beautiful

[PointofBreaking]

@foreglow yeah, you're right, I meant this one. That was my mistake not making it clear.

[PointofBreaking]

I listened to this, then I listened to the original. . .then I listened to this again. I like how the vocals and the lead guitar add a little more umph.

[foreglow]

@PointofBreaking Which one are referring to when you talk about the guitar and vocals? I assume this one, but I honestly don't know.

[videokid1235]

way better than the real like this comment if u agree

[AaronTheDino]

@videokid1235 Way better than the real? So, in essence, what your saying is that this song is not real. Way to go moron, I sure hope you get your thumbs up.

[StevenLandman]

6 people fell of a elephant in Africa

[sbriscar]

It's much better when they do it live but still a solid cover :)

[hanulhuh]

@sbriscar can you post a link to a live version where you can actually hear the vocals?

[sbriscar]

@hanulhuh oh I have no idea about that. I just saw them live last December and they did this song

[Avalon1929]

This is really boring. I'm gonna go listen to the original..

[derryr1]

Not a bad cover but nothing can beat the original!

[vasyuey]

does annybody know when will they release an album? not covers. great cover btw LOL

[CalebandSteven]

best song by them

[CalebandSteven]

amazing

[samueldrobinson]

I must say, I <3 this! Good job guys! So how about a UK Tour? Please?

[mrbilly1298]

Original is way better...-__-

[iluvlavault]

Better than the original <3



[jeyzix8x]

AfricaMAZING

[electragoob]

I had Christmas down in Aaaaafricaaa!!! Man, they did a good job with this :) I'm impressed!

[rantkowiak]

I love this song... but this cover sounds so much like the original... almost disappointed they didn't "make it their own" a little more... still the chorus is awesome. :)

[Camyy99]

I was expecting terrible considering Toto's version is EPIC.

I didn't get terrible, I didn't get epic either, but I did get a frekin' legit cover! (:

[loftybutcontrite]

Great cover!! Rock on Relient K! always been a fan

[DarkestofTimes]

[fattybuttons]

[itypesmiling]

This is so good it ACTUALLY made me cry...

[spngrl101]

wow i could listen to this over and over and over and over and... well you get the idea

[ViktorByron]

Now this is a presentable cover. Because if you're going to do it, do it right. Unbelievably epic song.

[InsanityOnABunFilms]

There's nothing Relient K does that isnt awesome

[alainachkar]

@InsanityOnABunFilms AMEN!!

[bugsaysmeep]

[drmikesnow]

Dang, that little acappella part is beautiful!

[hauk119]

Oh yeah. Who hit dislike? Really? Leave. Youtube. And this country. Now. Seriously why?

[fireballcurt]

@hauk119 They should move to Africa :D

[fattybuttons]

@fireballcurt that would b a bad thing, they might b eaten by a lion or something nd we will never have nymore relient k!!!! :(

[Rwonton2223]

@hauk119 just make sure when you leave you dont go to africa:)

[hauk119]

@Rwonton2223 No it actually wasnt me thank you very much...

[Rwonton2223]

@hauk119 ha it was an addition to your comment

[mrbilly1298]

@hauk119 listen to the original, its better. but im dont have anything again relient k, ive been a fan for a while, but this song just cant be re-done

[hauk119]

One of the best songs ever.

The best band ever.

Me gusta :)

[MrGarciaTheAwesome]

cool cover

[detorio]

Top-notch cover! RELIENT K are ace! :3

[punkrockotaku]

This is a terribly faithful cover. They put a little more umph into the vocals, which improves it tremendously.

[TheAwesomeaddie]

@punkrockotaku I really do agree! It actually sounds well... updated! :D

[annimortildeath]

i love itttt!!!!!! <3
