Africa - Toto

[skurey]

Great song or greatest song?

Acceptable for a football game or necessary?

I saw them live at the State fair... last year I think? With my dad. Hammered. Him and I picked up a mom and daughter combo... It was a weird night.

Also Sansa from game of thrones was there... I was standing in line next to her at a ride... In reflection, the state fair is great. Lmao

You got with the mom, didn't you?

Weird means expand your mind! That's too simple

Utica based band Showtime always performs a rousing version of Africa.

Was “Africa” the #1 song in 1991? There’s been a lot of references to it which have gone over my head. And congrats, Nahson, for that happy memory!

It was played for a crowd singalong at the Dome today, apparently. Blizz was not happy. He wants something newer. Entire game thread crowd shouted him down.

Incorrect. It’s the greatest great song.

The Weezer cover has breathed new life into Africa.

It's both a throwback, and modern.

I was at the game and have no memory of this. Sad.

That's about a decade too late. Think formative MTV years.

They've had a choice of songs that you're supposed to vote on twitter. They play the winning song toward the end of the game during the 3rd/4th quarter. Toto - Africa was choice d) today. I complained that all the songs were more than 20 years old at this point (Whitney Houston - I wanna dance with somebody; Brittany Spears - one of her 2,000 awesome hits that everyone knows the words to and loves to sing along with; and a third hit that was hot in 1978 - don't remember). And I used Toto as an example that I thought was outlandish. Didn't mean to insult the band or their music. I just thought the musical tastes of the person/people putting this together is outdated, just a tad.

Probably more like 8, but who's counting. You guys blew up my alerts though.
