There was no reason for a cover of this song.

Yeah it should be like those public radio "save a day" campaigns where they fundraise less if they meet their (totally arbitrary) goal.
"We're almost up to the amount where we can stop playing this fucking song!"
And I say that as someone generally well disposed toward the song. It's just that there is, in fact, a limit.
I hope the djs do what's right. Sure as taramasalata rises like a Memphis among the sarin Geddy Lee.

Watching Weezer perform this on Dick Clark’s Primetime New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, as cheezy 20-somethings exhuberantly sing along.

I am literally standing in the middle of the Serengeti right now and I don't see Kilimanjaro anywhere. I call bs.Definitely no snow either, but they did know it was Christmas.

We've passed peak Africa, with Pitbull as the shark-jump point. I played the LNTG remix out numerous times in 2018, and the one-ecstatic reaction to it is now on the wane. I'm probably going to retire it in 2019.

Africa by Toto to play on eternal loop down in the coastal Namib Desert
"Mr Siedentopf tells the BBC it is set to play forever, with solar batteries "to keep Toto going for all eternity"."
