[derben16]

My desk is now a drum set...

[KayleeAnnaMariaJune]

This song is such a big bag of 'WHAT??!?'

I love it.

[feliccias]

Such a beaitful song makes me wanna cry tears of happiness :D x

[mmacintosh]

And the moral to the story, kids??

If you ever find yourself in a library in Subsaharan Africa, beware of random, spear-throwing natives!

WTF?

[Jart727]

My favorite song of all time. Everytime I listen to it, I hear something new. It is so relaxing and serene.

[joytotheworld76]

The song is about reuniting with a long lost lover than with the dark continent per se. It is a pretty romantic song. So lovely.

[hix1923]

Probably their best song, but yes i agree the video cxould have been better. At least they could have made it in some african safari location or something like that. But they are still amazing!

[mobert25]

I LOVE IT!!!

[CobainStJohns]

I have always thought this song had concerned about AIDS epidemic in Africa or the poverty and drought of Africa. How wrong was I.

[Stewbone]

I love this awesome song! It's so cool.

[CzarodziejkaGore]

One of my favourite song from the 80's.

Really good job Toto ;)

[RippedIntoTheNet]

One of the BEST songs from the 80's! No doubt about that!

[loganfate]

i bless the rains down in Africa, fucking epic! awesome

[skyMcWeeds]

One of the GREATEST SONGS of all time!!

[talus007]

I Won't Hold You Back, Hold the Line, Rosanna, 99, and of course Africa...

WTF happened to these guys!?

[Roninlord25a]

love this song

[goclaygo19]

lol i used to get blitzed with my friends and sit back and listen to this song, those times are long gone, but the song is still just as good

[DAREALFARMZ]

either you're an oldhead or oldskool. It is a jam though.

[gregvance]

This has to be one of my favourite songs of the 80s and the one I most remember. Unbelievably great song! They should've shot the video with the band playing outside in the African desert though, that would have really suited the song.

[cradlelover23]

amazing song but the video makes no sense at all to me! they could have at least gone to african lion safari or something!

[hackit1234]

@cradlelover23 couldnt agree more, typical yank outlook on the world.

[CobainStJohns]

@hackit1234 You must be twelve. This song is a little less than 30 years old and there have been plenty of music videos of just the recording in progress, especially from that time period.

[BellaVita1890]

@cradlelover23 I think the story behind it is that he wanted to go to Africa real bad but couldn't and so he wrote a song about it. So the idea here is that he's "day dreaming" about it. Hence the globe and being in a library where he's probably reading books on Africa. Make a little sense, now? haha At least, that's my interpretation based off why he wrote this song. :D

[IZeromusI]

@cradlelover23 The reason this song was made was that they heard about Africa and the problem that exist there, The drummer and keyboard player I believe were the writers they had seen a documentary about it, And they even knew people would just think things like "Just some white boys singing about Africa, never been there blah blah blah" Up to my knowledge they did make a trip to africa since then, But i could be wrong.

[MrBoo1324]

@cradlelover23 You are right but  at 1:57 it kind of reminds me of a classic african hut...

[notEisiger]

@cradlelover23 the video is obviously about the chocolate librarian, and the singer has jungle fever

[Brad5112]

@cradlelover23 after reading your post i watched the video 10 times. im not sure what its trying to say, but i think hes trying to find the book with the torn page of which the corner he has. when the book is burned, i think it symbolizes he will never "do the things we said we'd do", as the song states. but i dont know. thats what i got out of it. good song though.

[chels674]

this song is so beautiful, it makes me want to cry.

karl wolfs butchering of it also brings tears to my eyes, as well as vomit to my mouth..

[sttogu5]

i hate niggers who try to remake good songs like this.

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A KID I WAS WATCHING A SHOW THIS SONG CAME OUT AND MY DAD WAS LIKE"HAY,TOTO" AND I STARTED TO LAUGH

[TheSohaney89]

Great song...Is to bad that some rap wanna be is doing a terrible remake of it...

[diamonds6137]

@TheSohaney89

You mean when ja-rule made a failed attempt at this. I think it was in '02 when he did this.

[19tuureluur86]

I hope I can on a vacation to Africa some day. Great song!
