Toto - Africa |misheard lyrics

[MoMoney7373]

I always thought it said "I catch the rays down in Africa!" As in the sun. Oops!

[canuclicklaterplease]

Fucking Jason Derulo!!!!!

[genkiazn123]

This video shows the damaging results of the effect of 'textspeak'. Symptoms include early retardation in the brain functions and being able to process speech.

[WWEdeadman]

@genkiazn123 You of all people should know that, as you suffer from these symptoms.

[Ihaveacubeforahead]

there's nothing that a hundred men on mars could ever do

[StarcraftTeaRex]

"As negro wrestlers longing for som solitary company"

[rainbowmuppet]

I always thought it was "I taste the rain down in Africa."

[infinitefandom]

I torch the brains down in Africa.

[Baileygeep7]

For years I never knew what he was saying. "rises like a limp us above the sara gettee " "there's nothing a 100 men on mars could ever do" "I miss the rains" "Cheetahs only whispers" "I stopped a no ban on the way"

[ShotgunDolphin]

It was a good try.

[genijeful]

AFRIKAAAAAAAAAA!!!

[johnpheth]

Much better version at watch?v=AZf4-X9Rfow...

[jessicapopstar79]

.........these lyrics are wrong but thanks for trying (: lol 

[lordnick1575]

THANKS A LOT! you made me laugh soooo much that i weed all over my chaire, PRO FOGGY FLIGHT ROFLL!!!!!!

[cakt901]

its not surbation it masterbation

[eternalstud1]

"as sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti..."? I always heard " as sure as killing a jarro that rises upon calebras above the Serengeti" and never fully understood that part of the text, i guessed that jarros and calebras were animal species, something like lions and zebras or some birds  :( LOL

[wiljade]

What the................? lol

[wiljade]

What the................?

[1rn3H]

i cracked up at "hee heee he"

[frizider2]

I left my brains down in africaa

[WWEdeadman]

@frizider2 lol

[trepkatrepka]

LOL at "..things you never heee heeee he" :)

[NBear927]

LOL! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it said, "I guess it rains down in Africa."

[Discosaturn]

I interpret the misheard lyrics in the chorus!

"I guess it rains down in Africa" - Well, it does. That's exactly what I misinterpreted when I first heard the song!

"I guess Lorain's found in Africa" - I then kissed Lorain and liked it. Then I also did that with Desiree, Jenna, Lindsay, Natalie, Megan, Kristen, Emma, Keira, and Rachel.

"I guess the rain's drowning Africa" - Uh oh, 2012 doomsday prediction!

"I guess Lorain's drowned in Africa" - No no, why couldn't I save her?!

[WWEdeadman]

ROFL

Nice.

[604Aaron]

IT WAS A LAME SOLO

Flute solo... camon

just camon

[Allacra]

It's not a "lame solo!" lol

"I guess it rains down in Africa" :-D

[the1jackel]

lyrics on 124 sounds like Here's living that a hundred men on mars could ever do... lol

[Heatherb513]

I think this is hilarious.

[Tisafuni]

I mean...what's the fuckin point anyways???

[Silentkanify]

This sucks

[basumasu]

If you hate long intros don't listen to hurriganes-rodrunner its gott 1minute long intro ;D

[MrBrainheart]

kinda lame...

[doze4]

This is freakin funny...First time I heard it I thought they said "Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like a Lepress" LOL

[notanomad]

major fail

[theoriok]

fabulous misheard lyrics? about 75% is the actual lyrics and the misheard parts aren't really that fitting, clever or funny... crappiest attempt at misheard lyrics would be more accurate..

[tflashdz]

you are fucking out! I cannot believe you would mock the genius of Toto's majestic lyrics! Bow your head before you ever think of listening to this song. I won't roll shit without a Garcia Vega....

[xxwestsidevixenxx]

beautiful song! =O <3

[danleggs]

it has and allways has been...

I bless the rains down in africa lol

[Crazybutnice91]

haha "i guess it rains down in africa.."

[BrooklynRose5]

Oh my goodness! That is what I thought they've been saying all these years until me and my brother got into a heated debate about the actual words. I still like "I guess it rains down in Africa". :)

[Crazybutnice91]

yeah but its a bit ironic....;) they would be glad if it rained more often over the serengeti xD

[faerie130]

it's "i bashed some brains down in africa."

idiots!

[verdantcrab]

Wow, every one hears something different. I've always heard, "I miss the rains down in Africa." I had the entire premise of this song misunderstood. I thought 'he' was longing for some love affair that had happened in Africa and had lost its intensity upon returning to the homeland. Hmm.

[cutieface480]

i guess loraines found in africa

i guess the rains drowning africa

i guess loraines drowned in africa

LOL XDDDDD

[eepruls]

Funny! For the longest time I thought it was 'I've felt the rains down in Africa'. When I found out it was 'I bless the rains down in Africa' I thought it was a mistake. I actually think 'I've felt the rains down in Africa' is better. It gives you the feeling of renewal and 'nature' in Africa. I bless the rains makes no sense. It's not like he's some priest or something!

[CrankyEater]

"I guess it rains down in Africa" LOL...I always thought it was "I've got some braves down in Africa," like "I've got a mercenary army down there..."

The actual song lyrics as just as bizarre, I mean, "I bless the rains down in Africa"? Really?

[TheBigBlueBox]

I always thought it was "I guess the rain's down in africa"...

[Wangevilraver]

HAHAH! surbation?

I always hear - "I'm just a brave down in Africa."

[LemiasSelfs21]

I love misheard lyrics.

Specially songs that for me are very difficult to understand.

I tell you and sing a totally different thing that the actual lyrics, there´s no big difference between the real lyrics and this one, so besides been a great song I wouldnt take this as a misheard lyric.

But nice try though

[ReservedRealist]

I always heard "Marines in Africa"

[mouzzly]

Hilarius you did a verry good job WWEdeadman !!!

[saffylovesusso]

k, i keep listening to this, i LOVE it, The lyrics just crack me up.

[kimmiemegs12]

this is funny

[MadAtYoutuuube]

SOOO FUNNY!

[saffylovesusso]

I have always loved this song, this version had me giggling so much, nice one

WWEdeadman. xD

[metalshead101]

hahaha love it. this is funny

[reaverwes]

Love this song. The part where it said''i guess lorraines found in africa'', followed by ''i guess the rain is drowning africa'' followed by ''i guess lorraine drowned in africa'' made me laugh.

[xoxoLadyViperxoxo]

LOL!!

[0107002]

Are you serious?

First of all, the missheard lyrics aren't even close to the real song.

Second, learn proper english before posting things.

It's obvious you're trying to make the song sound bad. It's noticeable in the start of your video allready.

[WWEdeadman]

Dude, what's your problem?

Misheard lyrics are supposed to be different to the real ones. And you can't say this song is clear to understand

As for the proper English part, I've got to say that misheard lyrics do not need to be in perfect grammar. And I know there is no such word as "surbation". Anyway, if you don't like the vid, don't watch it.

[KLOKATEER3661]

@0107002 Dude this video is called Toto - Africa |misheard lyrics. The lyrics OBVIOUSLY aren't correct. Thats sort of the whole idea. So why dont you grow a brain before posting comments that make you sound like a completely uneducated moron.

[Kekzor1337]

he he hee

[chazza950]

and the solo isnt lame

[chazza950]

its sounds like nothng thata a hundred men from mars could ever do

[MichelleGajol]

haha a bit funny, I guess it never rins down in africa :b lol!

[radioactiveorigami]

this is soooo funny!!!!

[leonbrain68]

Well, thank YOU, even though you hate it, for posting the ENTIRE album cut version of the song, including the long intros and outros. On the radio and single releases they typically cut one or both ends of the song.

[Bitty9]

This sounds very like a song Jojo sings.. "anything" ...

[bostoncremetimbit]

There's nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do...

[pennyAUH]

..." i guess it rains down in africa... hee hee he!" lmao!!! really really funny!

[vonbrimstone]

that's just bad :(

[FriendoftheDork]

i mess the brains down in africa

[Mangetsu360]

not funny. choose songs that are actually easily misheard instead of choosing songs we can hear clearly

[nick2uch]

dip shit. no one likes your videos

[WWEdeadman]

no one likes your mom.

Maybe you are too stupid too read, but I've got a lot more positive than negative comments.

[GreatTerRoX]

thats  lame

[nickmethorst]

it doesnt even make sense it doesnt fit in with the lyrics they sang it doesnt looks a like at all

[WWEdeadman]

hu? What are you trying to say? puncuation would do your comments good.

learn english before posting...

[Roses4Faeries]

you have good replys...for some reason, they make me laugh...lol

[mrhenryvon]

i thought for ages the words were actually " i guess it rains down in africa" .. great song either way

[banevsbat2]

i thogut it was i did some draining in africa

[sweetfranx]

this is almost like the real lyrics!!! I though it was "misheard"???

[JCMisHK]

LOL..I don't feel like such a boob anymore..I use to think I was the only one who sang the wrong words on all the hit songs..I use to think it said "I missed the rains drowning Africa.."..LOL..

[sweetfranx]

looooool

[spiller95]

lol it hilarius i love the part where u say i guess it rains down in africa

[Kegzz]

i think lorraine did drown.

[clausellegaardjensen]

.....thats the lyrics I've been singing in my car since I've got a drivers license in '84....lots of fun.....

[imbu5y]

''I Led some raids down in africa''

[HAIRDOG987]

dude is this real AHAAHHA get high and watch this shit its trippin me out funny shit

[Renersen]

actually I understand: I've lead some raids down in africa =)

[harcos90]

this is quite possibly the lamest video i have ever seen on youtube... if this makes you laugh, you must have the humor of a five year old... i guess it rains down in africa... so original... guy didn't even change most of the words or much less, spell the words correctly, i mean seriously, have you never heard of spell check, or i don't know... a second grade education...

[WWEdeadman]

If the humor of a 5 year old is too intellectual for you then go watch some "guy gets hit in the nuts" videos, these are at the niveau of a 3 year old.

As I said many times before: If you don't get the purpose of a video, don't comment on it.

[tupackbasser]

you could just go watch something else...derka derka

[catiaktita]

yeah... something cooler than this w/ polite people and that don't make fun of the lyrics

good idea i'm leaving!!

[donguyen0912MN]

Ahhhaahahah....thats fuking funny...

[Gengstar8694]

Bahah.

This is funny.

I still love the song though.

[puppylover09876543]

hahaha i gusse lorrain foud in africa

[rockchina6899]

I can't stop laughing this is so brilliant!

[YouJustGotOwned222]

I heard "I got some AIDS down in Africa!"

[kakiii91]

[DeNederlander]

[12santiago12]

LOOOOOOOOLLLL thats the funniest thin i seen on youtube in a while

[mattfire552]

lol, i guess it rains

[persilbran]

some of the misheard words are only explicable if your English or hearing is defective

[hageman96]

haha, waht's right. xd

[demonkoryu]

Everybody knows it is "I guess the rays came down in Africa"

[DarrenToledano]

"Like a leopard above the serengeti"

"A hundred me on Mars could ever do"

"I miss the rains down in Africa"

Those are the misheard lyrics I heard.

[cedararch]

lol no 1 can hear that its "I guess it rains down in africa"

[GalacticCabaret2]

I always thought it was "I guess the rains' down in Africa."

[FinkyPinger]

[Warhammer552342]

WTF is surbation??!!

[WWEdeadman]

there is no such word. As you maybe saw I put a WTF? under the word too.

It's just what it sounds like to me.

[Unindependent]

You could have tried a bit harder to change the original lyrics... The best part was where Loraine's drowning in Africa :D

[0304199536541623]

[Remingtonspaz]

[iamjesper]

[WWEdeadman]

The smile at the end means "just joking", doesn't it.

Anyway, don't even write this as a joke since tere are millions of people here who are to dumb to understand either the intention of the video or that your comment was a joke.

[JellyBean1494]

wow..

[ploumidis]

you messed it up dude look at rains down in africa (lyrics)

[WWEdeadman]

[irony]

Hey, where have you been? I already missed the kind of people who don't know what MISHEARD means.

[/irony]

Really, for the last time: THE LYRICS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WRONG!

There are Millons of this vids on YT, why don't you dumbasses get their meaning already?

[RaisingWar]

i definetly enjoyed that thourghly...heard this today on the radio and its one of my favorites i always thought it was "i guess the rains fell in africa"...this was quite good and thank you for posting this...

[lovedapizza]

[flytallerkin]

[KattrineAndKattarias]

CANT NO1 READ?!?! It is Misheard, MISHEARD Video!!! if u dont wanna see it then dont? it is to be funny.. So annoying when ppl write: its not that lyrics, its this and that...

[WWEdeadman]

THANK YOU!! really, thank you so much. This post let's me hope that it's not 99.9% of people in the world who are too stupid to get the meaning of a title.

You deserve at least 10^99999 thumbs up for that. Too bad I can only give one.

[mjtoror]

this is not that far to the real song...

[jocoin23]

your interpretation of this song ruins it

[alishishkebab]

this was the worst lyrics ever ---:P

[HouseOwnsAll]

LOL i always thought they said .." Pretty boy its waiting there for you ....and theres nothing that a hundered men on mars could ever do LOL LOL

[Believermagic]

i was laughing like so hard i couln't typr correct\ly for awhile escpecially the last part

[bonpapamick]

Very nice work. I love it.

Not being a native speaker, I thought it was reaaly 'I guess that it rains down in Africa' when I first heard the song back in 1983. Now that I've learned all the right words, I'm laughing like crazy alone in my root late at nite.

[petervanderplas]

Gonna take the life definetly away from you xD

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

very nice xD

[timmiej123]

wtf? look for the right words mate!

[WWEdeadman]

WTF? Look at the title mate!

it isn't called MISHEARD lyrics for nothing, you know.

[colorblind68]

is it really "surbation"... or perhaps "salvation"???

[WWEdeadman]

MISHEARD lyrics goddammit.

[colorblind68]

Yes, I know. I was just wondering. I get the point of your video. I was just being facetious! LOL! No need to have a conniption fit! "peace be the journey, mon"! ; )

[WWEdeadman]

Sorry, but it's hard to recognize your intention of being funny in written words. Especially as there are hundreds and thousands of people out there, and here on YouTube that don't get the meaning of misheard.

[colorblind68]

I know...and it's obvious that humor was intended, so you wonder whether they have no sense of humor at all, or they are just "duuuuhhhh" (LOL)

[jhfajkshfkjdhs]

surbaiton????xD

[WWEdeadman]

that's what it sounds like. I know that there is no such word...

If you watch closely I put a WTF? beneath the word.

[corleone071]
