It was the last song played at my wedding and multiple friends weddings. It is the GOAT in our circle

Its not even the best Toto song. Rosanna is the best Toto song.

I hate Toto.
I hate the song Africa with a burning passion. I hated it when first came out and I have hated it every time I have heard it.

Damn great song.

Did you hear the Weezer cover? That's a pretty good cover

I love me some "Africa" but shut your whore mouth.

The greatest song ever is "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman" by Dr. Hook. Nothing tops a band with a dude rocking a eye patch.

My GF loves that song. I side with Say Hello to Heaven as my greatest song with Rhapsody and When the Levee Breaks as the other two...but that’s just personal favorites

I got to listen to that song while on a safari in Africa(Kenya) looking at a herd of gazelles running past us.

99 is also a very underrated Toto song.

Great song. But not even close to the greatest. That song is a feel good song that is lumped in with a grouping of a few Ambrosia songs and Little River Band songs, etc..Classic listens every time you hear them but nowhere near the greatest.

I don’t understand the appeal of the Weezer remake I keep hearing. Doesn’t add anything but strips away the full haunting sound.
