They both suck but I hate the posers known as foreigner with a passion so I’ll go with Africa

I would take The Outfield's - Your Love over both.


Such an underrated band.

They fluidly incorporate Kilemenjaro into lyrical melody.
I wouldn't describe it as "fluidly".

Easily the worst line in the entire song, lyrically as well as melodically. What's the point of comparing a mountain with another mountain? And who thought rhyming "company" with "Serengeti" was a good idea?

Tough call on this one. I'm not nearly stoned enough to decide right now. I'll come back later.

The Toto song is arguably the worst example of 80s radio music. Those guys are cultural criminals. Foreigner wins by forfeit.
