[Moonsong227]

I love this song. I always wanted to find it on youtube. Thanks! :D

[camoclayton]

I always thought the chorus went "Theres nothing that a hundred men on MArs could ever do

I bless the rains down in africa"

[kopfz]

>Sure as kilimanjaro rises like olympus above the serengeti

that's a bit of a mouthful to sing..

[evavikmarsta]

I thank my mom for my good taste of music.

[Libstergirl74]

I love music like this!

[ClubMistafied]

¥T

[kopfz]

@ClubMistafied Except it's "I bless the rains down in africa"

[xReeceTheBeastx]

Dorthy: I Miss Kansas. Toto: I Miss The Rains Down In Africa. Like If You Get It :D

[Nebulon101]

@xReeceTheBeastx That meme has been on my work computer for 3 days. I finally get it.

[ZCodeProductions]

@xReeceTheBeastx *cough* bless *cough*

[Gemiex]

After watching Scrubs all i think of when i hear this song is, JD in the bath with his hair wrapped in a pink towel, singing this song and eating mango body butter.

[longjohncole07]

AMERICAN DAD!!!

[Chelsea7246]

[alon752]

[1997Mattyw]

*Sat in car with girlfriend*

(This song comes on)

GF: Another song copied off Jason Derulo, what the hell.

Me: GTFO!!! *Shotgun to the face*

[DarkAce374]

@1997Mattyw Dude if I was in that situation, I think my jaw would litterally drop....and it would take all my might to keep me from saying something, cause you know if a guy opens his mouth he is automatically wrong and the woman declares war on you...

[1997Mattyw]

@DarkAce374 hahaha true ;D

[Sperluigi]

10 people live in Africa and it didn't rain

[rontopdog2008]

[Crazy4TheWeekend]

[Angeliclily]

@Crazy4TheWeekend XDD Same.

[TonyDamy1627]

@Crazy4TheWeekend That meme is genious

[TheMortalPenguin0X]

@Crazy4TheWeekend What meme?

[DJJosephJ]

@TheMortalPenguin0X "Wizard of Oz" photo of Dorothy holding her dog:

Dorothy: I miss Kansas.

Toto:  I miss the rains down in Africa.

[tosspot86]

remixs of classics should be outlawed in music, i cant stand some musicians who think they can do better than the original

[TheBrahminPuncher]

Huey Newton

[MrScorpion749]

funny how every remix of this is complete and utter crap.

[ThatKrookedVulture]

FUCK YEAH

[FantasyFreakOhMiGosh]

can jason derulo not think of his own lyrics instead of using other songs and putting them into shitty dance beats? first harry belafonte, now toto? what ths hell is happening?

[TheGeorgiaHudson]

@FantasyFreakOhMiGosh And don't forget he took Imogen Heap's lyrics too.

[canthinkify]

Lil Wayne did a cover of this? I never knew that, and that's probably a good thing. >.< No way am I gonna even THINK of trying to listen to it. uggh *shudders*

[slash016]

I masturbate down in Africa.

[mobsterz187]

[DirtyAssHippy]

Community sent me here

[LALFAST]

Great music. Such a shame that todays music isn't more like this :(

[caprils]

[wizzzeeee]

[JmCamilaRox1]

Type of song I'd listen to while on my porch watching a storm happening :) epic

[SuperSema90]

FINALLY i found the original version. and not that stinkin version justin biebers cusin made.

[acenace24]

THIS is REAL music, not that crap Lil Wayne mumbles

[Ziggy1D]

@acenace24 Actually Lil Wayne rap about his life and he is not rapping about booze and all, im a melodic death metal fan and i dont like lil wayne but i admire the meanings of some of his songs as some could reflect about my life too so yeah. Im not trying to fight here but im just telling the facts so yeah (: Have a Good Day (:

[aaweber]

@Ziggy1D This is a perfect example of how human beings can get along and how we should communicate our differences. Kudos 

[MultiMikko1234]

@acenace24 lol i know. Can you believe some people call them poets? XD

[GeoffB123]

@acenace24 SO BRAVE

[KevinDFuller94]

This amazing song has inspired me to ask out the girl of my dreams.

[TheIqoniq]

@KevinDFuller94 Did she say yes?

[KevinDFuller94]

@TheIqoniq I chickened out many times. Its hard to ask out the girl who everytime you see her it feels like your heart skips a beat & time stops. She gives me many little hints that she likes me. I swear to myself im gonna tell her how I feel Monday after lunch. Thanks for asking.

[ieatcrayons362]

i met some bradys down in africa!!

love this!!!

[trans94]

Thumbs up for Jeffster

[peterpartu1991]

@trans94 hahaha !! man i love Chuck, and im so sad it is almost ended...Also the scene in Chuck where this song is played is very beatiful " i dont have anyone who care about me"

" yeah you have " Great!!

[peterw086]

dont care what anyone says, this is a tune!!!! hense why jason derulo has done it!

[Purdonnnnn1873]

@peterw086 Jason Derulo is a talentless twat.

[tipacalypse]

Thumbs up if Troy and Abed brought you here!

[womski]

@tipacalypse  Who the smeg are they?

[MrDingbat231]

Clevland Show

[thecarebearhideaway]

Toto is one of those all around totally awesome bands who just never put out a bad song! They wrote so many awesome songs ranging from just rocking songs to beautiful love songs. I remember always relaxing at night on my porch swing back in the day with my walkman on with a Toto cassette playing and just taking in not only the awesome music but also those carefree youthful feelings. Oh if I only had a time machine to go back. I would never take it for granted again. I sure miss those days! :-(

[nitaerawati]

i do enjoy the music....even when I was a child till now I have my own...just enjoy the tone, the rythmic...wonder how every persons here in TOTO play their music one another....so beautiful as if I was running but relaxing....you know what I mean?!....

[DoingAllNighters]

JASON DERULO 200000000 TIMES BETTER

[llpalm08]

@DoingAllNighters :O How can you say that, Jason Derulo has done a really good version that I like allot, but this is a Classic.

[BizarroGeek]

@llpalm08 No.

Jason Derulo was given a version to do by his producers which is as generic and dull as the colour beige.

[llpalm08]

@BizarroGeek Please refrain from commenting unless you actually know what your talking about, it lowers the IQ of the entire comment section. Derulo is one of the few people who actually still writes songs. He writ Fight for you with about 3 other people who helped but Derulo did the main chunk, then Red One and 2 other producers then produced the song. Also I prefer not to be told what to like so dont tell me no, just because this version is far superior doesnt mean I cant like Derulo's one.

[BizarroGeek]

@llpalm08 Wait... so in other words, he chooses the lyrics and theme of his songs. Songs such as Whatcha Say, for example. Hm, so you can't even blame the shallowness and materialism of those lyrics on producers lowering the level of a relatively talented singer.

Oh, and go ahead and like whatever, but if you can't handle disagreement, then don't state your opinions in a public forum.

[PeculiarTactics]

Homo Habilis

Homo Erectus

Homo Heidelbergensis

Homo Gautengensis

Homo Ergaster

Homo Rhodesiensis

Homo Rudolfensis

And of course Homo Sapiens.

These are all of the Hominid apes that at one point or another in earths history called Africa their home. Africa truly is the cradle of life.

[fresanchezrojas]

@PeculiarTactics homosexual jajjajajajajajajajajaja

[atrofalo]

@PeculiarTactics i do not call my home and i'm a BackStreet Mongrel!

[acenace24]

This song started playing at a party with a kid nicknamed Africa and it got buck!

Thank you Toto

[elreal000]

Reminds me of the Anthropology rap from Community

[izzklo]

1:43: negro wrestlers looking for some solitary company

[megapink1994]

@izzklo whats wrong with tht/

[LiLaRoo5]

@eastavi thanks for uploading this, i made a video of me singing along to the karaoke version, do click on my channel and watch it xxx

[cluckmar2]

i hate jason derulo...

[gradeadouchebag]

10 people forgot their umbrellas while on the safari

[hotsquashposh]

If you don't like Jason's version, comment there. You're taking away from the awesomeness of the original hating on others. Yeah, it's not that great. But post that on his video, not on Toto's.

[rachooolxx123]

this reminds me of scrubs

[jackftww2]

Jason Derulo is a cunt.

[anaskhan0136]

i like both versions derulo and toto mostly derulo

[jackftww2]

@anaskhan0136 If you prefer Derulo's you should just fuck off.

[giosoliman]

i had christmas down in africa (straight no chaser)

[ondelamb]

The original of this song is far better than any cover I've heard. After viewing the comments below, I checked out the Jason Derulo version. It's not even the same song. Sounds like a lot of autotune and audio enhancing. If you want to hear a cover that respects the original song, check out Mike Masse's acoustic version - nothing flashy or fake. Just guitar and great vocals.

[iPLaYTETRis]

reminds me of JD in the bath on scrubs ;)

[xxlilash]

Love how this is SO MUCH BETTER than jasond erulos version. The original will always win hands down.

[RickWDonovan]

Grins, I think some of us are missing the point.  To Bless the rains in Africa means a hell of a lot about life and how one interacts with life. Just a thought,

[bajramovic92]

@whitwhoo29

How about Limp Bizkit's cover of "Behind Blue Eyes"?

HAHAHAHA. Oh, jeez, I couldn't troll that badly.

[GeorgeSims12]

@The1andOnlyCG you legend... I've been wondering where I heard this for ages honestly!! thankyou :L

[NiggaWiddaAttitude]

I gave niggers aids down in Africaaaa!

[The1andOnlyCG]

first heard this on GTA Vice city...

[11maoriboii]

@The1andOnlyCG i herd this before vice city lol

[Mootilated]

@The1andOnlyCG u need to get out more :)

[FatalDeath369]

@The1andOnlyCG  You just won!

[xkRuZe]

@The1andOnlyCG fukn oath i used to wait for hours for that song to come on the radio

[Matt98a]

@The1andOnlyCG

yeah and broken wings with mr. mister ;)

[kjd11893]

I think it is funny how everybody flips out over Jason Derulo remaking this song. At least he can embrace older music, and have enough respect to remake a song that most of the people that listen to him never even heard. A song can be better than the original. Ever heard of "Drift Away" Uncle Kraker did a great remake, same with "Turn the Page" by Bob Seger remade by Metallica. Instead of bitching about him remaking the song, just think that. JD remade a great song and that is respect for music

[arrisoomiero]

i personally like both JD and TOTO but like everybody says u just cant ever top the original its a fact made by probably the dinosaurs so from the beginning of time!! RAINS DOWN IN AFRICA!

[trondheimsfeber]

@arrisoomiero whats the origial??? i've heard it but cant remember who sung it.

[arrisoomiero]

@trondheimsfeber this one is the original version :D from Toto

[XLR240]

jason fucking rule !!

[dumlax1]

Karl Wolf's is better I think

[damaster59]

Jason Who?

[elifittz]

Community season 2 episode 1 - Anthropology 101. Fuck yeah, Betty White!

[BrianT175]

@elifittz I'm not going to lie that brought me here too. I saw that episode and I was like fuck yeah let's listen to some Toto. I bless the rains down in Africa!

[MissMirabelka]

my favourite song of all time :))))))

[Rebeccavarley93]

what the hell is everyones problem with jason derulo doing a version of this song? he has permisson and decided to do a modern version of this song and in my opinion did an amazing job of it.. so stop hating on him hes amazing :)

[atasteformusic]

@XxyzClan lmao, thank you truly. I was brought up on listening to this in the car at night. One of the best songs for a rainy evening car ride.

[dnf2]

8 people didn't bless the rain down in africa 

[XxyzClan]

@dnf2

"8 People didn't Bless the Rains Down in Africa"

Super old referrals to the dislike bar are super old and worth being raped in the face from overuse. I have no fucking idea what was going through the CEO's head of destroying Youtube and it's community with the dislike bar and the "Thumbs Up if..." Whores or Thumbs Up Whores in general. Seriously, cut the shit. I came here to read comments of people hearing this somewhere and sharing a story, not to read attention-whoring with old jokes.

[1990chrism]

cant believe someone had the nerve to cover, sample or whatever this. don't fucking touch it! its perfect as it is!

[mathrobz777]

Great song, enough said!

[emmasohi]

why is everyone hating on Jason Derulo? He got permission to cover this song, and did it well!!

[usernameatthemoment]

@emmasohi Permission or not, he KILLED it.

[brianhyde63]

@emmasohi I agree, no comparison

[rukzrox]

Wow, now I know why the lyrics of the song Fight for you, was so good

[zauvek23]

Last dance for Lance Vance?

[TCFCTV]

Seriously, people cannot write music these days with out having to use other peoples ideas. (Jason Derulo) its sickening.

This is proper music.

[WhippedJay]

SCRUBS, COMMUNITY, GTA IV, CHUCK the list goes on... we get it. Nice song,

[WhippedJay]

GTA IV

[dnf2]

Thumbs up if you are here because of Jason Derulo

[Danlow1991]

@dnf2 I thumbed you down because you are here of Jason Derulo.

[M0nk3m4n]

@dnf2 I am also thumbing you down for this. Fuck that guy.

[dnf2]

@M0nk3m4n I meant it in a way to say that Jason's version is rubbish!

[M0nk3m4n]

@dnf2 Oh wait, sarcasm? Sorry man. Hard to tell.

[dnf2]

@M0nk3m4n No problem :)

[RebekahsPOV]

Just heard Jason Derulos song and will now listen to this on repeat as an apology to my ears.

[wikid1992]

jason derulo is a HACK. all of his singles have included samples from great songs of the past. the concept of making his own original song must make his head explode.

[AmyHannahB]

dont blame Jason least he educate us younger ones on this music,other i wouldnt know bout toto

[ShanaaChann]

Jason Derulo.you ruined this...
