Does anyone else consciously feel genuine melancholy coursing through this song? It always makes me feel sad and it lingers after the song is over. The chorus is famously triumphant and anthemic, but it's tinged with a direct yearning that I think people feel but don't exactly register, if that makes sense. A yearning for a kind life beyond a feeling of quiet emptiness, conveyed through the urgency of the music and cryptic lyrics. As the narrator seeks to find someone or something to make him feel whole again, the listener understands how compelling and identifiable that feeling is. It's radiance mixed with sadness and I think that may explain its enormous popularity with the youth of today (and those who fondly remember it from a time long gone). That mix of feeling is so pure and seemingly uncomplicated that it just hooks so many and plucks a deep, resonant chord. Maybe it's just my rueful nature, but I'm sure people of all dispositions can understand this. There's something desperately melancholy about it becoming THE millennial anthem - I believe it's appeal for millions lies in the current political/social climate. It's a catharsis for the young people becoming adults in strange times. (4/4/18)
Wonderfully expressed! I’m also 38 and was in Africa for a few months as a 4 year old when this song came out. I came back to the states and thought this song was about my own personal experience 🤣 I can smell Africa, and the wonderful time that I had there when I hear this. It’s very emotional for me. My all time favorite!
This song is just a masterpiece,I am a Cameroonian and I listen to it since my country Cameroon 🇨🇲 in 2024 . I thank to all the singers who had been the authors of this.
IT IS A GOOD 80S SONG I LOVED ALL THE 80S SONGS VERY GOOD DANCING TUNES AMONGST THE FULL DECADE OF THE 80S NO DOUBT THERE I'VE GOT MY MIND SET ON YOU BY GEORGE HARRISON NO 1 AND OH JULIE ALSO NO 1 BY NON OTHER THAN SHAKIN STEVENS MANY MORE HITS NO 1s FROM SHAKY I LOVED THAT GUY GROWING UP AS A TEEN HE WAS A BIG DEAL TO ME GROWING UP IN MY TEENS SHAKIN STEVENS WAS BRITAIN'S ELVIS PRESLEY HE SAID HIMSELF HE WAS IN MIRROR ALL TIME DOING HIS HAIR COLLOR UP LIKE ELVIS AFORE GOING TO SCHOOL.

Just Fly im pretty sure thats how it always is... no one really knows why/when good songs become memes. They just do (gary jules- mad world, simon and garfunkel- sound of silence, etc etc)
I'd be honored if some fans of 80s classics would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of AGAINST ALL ODDS by Phil Collins and MARY'S PRAYER by Danny Wilson on my channel in tribute to the legends. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
I’m a teen of the 80s. I find this song has amazing engineering. Idk who did this. The blends and variety of instruments and vocal harmonies. The base line strings it all together. Just wish I could explain it but this must have been hell to put together. Every time I hear it there is another piece I didn’t notice before.
I've been hearing this song for 40 years, and until I saw this video, it never even occurred to me that the drummer had anything but a typical kit. I was surprised to see him using just two drums and a cymbal!
@@MrHantz101 The video is kind of posed. The drummer, Jeff, recorded this on a standard kit and there was some additional percussion overlayed too. The main beat is actually genius in its simplicity, it's the percussion that makes it sound a little more complicated when put together.
One of those tracks that just gets better with age, hard to imagine now but it was released at a time when every other week a new classic song seemed to be released, we were spoilt rotten back then..
To everyone here reading this, remember that we were here at the BEGINNING of Gibs Ogden's amazing journey. Don't forget this comment if he actually makes it the whole decade. Godspeed.
I can imagine that when Gibs Ogden is crossing the road, shopping, walking through the park, hanging out all the gunmen on the roofs are controlling area so he can safely complete his quest without any threatening.
Weezer showed that the chorus can be done well with electric guitar instead of brass. I was impressed with how well it worked without any accompaniment, but I still like the original more.
You know They're Masters of their craft when they managed to fit the phrase As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti into the song seamlessly
It's far from seamless... there's at least six more syllables than one would normally try to jam into 2 bars of music. :) But they made it work in the song, and it's a very evocative lyric.
one time when this song was played in my car and I already arrived at the destination I stayed for like half a minute so I could listen to the whole song
I just watched a Top Gear episode and when this song came up I had the exact same tought. What the fuck have i become. Edit: I did not know that line was in the song.
The moment Gibs Ogden stops commenting is the moment I lose faith in humanity. Well, that sucks. Or rather, it would if not for the fact that thousands of other people listen to this every passing day.
Even if Gibs Ogden fails (at some point) in their epic quest, they've still achieved legend status for one of the most unintentionally funny, inspiring and straight-the-fuck-outta-nowhere memes in the past decade alone.
The fact that this absolute legendary musician is the son of John Williams AKA the man responsible for for many of the most iconic film scores from the 1970s, 80s and the 90s proves just how talented their family is
What? No he didn't. The Covenant is filled with a bunch of asshoes, even the Grunts. Master Chief always did the right thing trying to save humanity #TEAMCHIEF
Doctor: You have only 1 year left to live, ready to clear your bucket list? Gibs Ogden: Watch "Toto - Africa" for a decade The Grim Reaper: Ok I'll make it ten
@@sexy-alphachad692 good argument but unfortunately you wrote a twitch emote on a different platform to twitch therefore your argument is completely invalid
Aight. 10 years = 365 * 10 = 3650 days. 3650 days * 4.5min = 16425 min, / 1440 minutes in a day = 11.4days Gibs will only "lose" 11 days of his life listening to this song. I'm in. EDIT: You're all right. Gibs won't lose anything ;)
Imagine you’re at the end of a fast and furious or marvel or Michael bay movie or the new Disney movies. They sped up, sampled the chorus and had mr. 305 add his artistic opinion to it... really it seems ,to me at least, a piss poor rendition. The words didn’t mesh with the chorus, and while I didn’t see the movie, it may be a stretch for that. Tl:dr it’s awful

Beautiful song. It's been over 40 years and I never get tired of this song nor will I ever 😃
Me too 40yrs of knowing it
Same sentiment here.
This song is as old as I am :)
I was three when it came out. My three-year-old self called it the Africa song. Nice to know I had the title almost right. 🤣
RIP Mike Porcaro, thank you for sharing your talent and time with the world.

Don't be sad. Now he and Jeff both are jamming together up there :) Jeff has a lot to learn from Mike now since the 90's ! ;)
I have no clue why Gibs has taken to listening to this song every day for a decade, but I wish him the best of luck in his trial. God speed.

ye someone named Aditya misra (I think that’s the name) is doing it tho
The fact that this absolute legendary musician is the son of John Williams AKA the man responsible for for many of the most iconic film scores from the 1970s, 80s and the 90s proves just how talented their family is

Doctor: You have only 1 year left to live, ready to clear your bucket list?
Gibs Ogden: Watch "Toto - Africa" for a decade
The Grim Reaper: Ok I'll make it ten
How old is he? And what if dies before ten years??

He vanished from internet, unfortunately 😕.

Not even close.. Hahahahahahahaha
Victoria Kitonga haha :D
I refuse to accept south sudan as a thing
dankkidd 666 Well it is. Because Sudan proper was shit.
Toughfey this is so old that Africa wasn’t a thing after this song
people say you hear this song when you enter Africa
yeah, Namibia
@Nunya Business hell yeah it's gotta be awesome for the people of Namibia
I’ve never met anyone in Nigeria who knows this song funny enough I just found it.
Anime Freak I’ve visited once and I can confirm this to be indeed true.

It’s like if Bob Ross got lost in a forest.

Anyone who's heard pitbull's version needs to hear this song on loop for an hour to detox
That's exactly what I'm doing
Nah this song is so good it only takes 1 listen
@@dougthedon2972 yir teams shite

Incorrect they need to be rushed to hospital for extensive treatment ( Song being played for 1-7 day depending on the damage )
I thank my strict but awesome parents for having good taste in music
Same
+For Mandalore this song is a fucking meme though
probably the reason you where born this that sexy time music
I guess you could say they where born in the right generation ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Had to hide to listen to this song in secret from my parents, Dad was a Tennessee Ernie Ford fan
Aight.
10 years = 365 * 10 = 3650 days.
3650 days * 4.5min = 16425 min, / 1440 minutes in a day = 11.4days
Gibs will only "lose" 11 days of his life listening to this song.
I'm in.
EDIT:
You're all right. Gibs won't lose anything ;)
Also he can do other things at the same time as listening?
@Farhan Ishraq Hassan @Rachel Walder good points actually
Legendary

Haven’t heard the Pitbull version yet, is it really THAT bad?
yes
your ears are gonna bled
it sucks.
Imagine you’re at the end of a fast and furious or marvel or Michael bay movie or the new Disney movies. They sped up, sampled the chorus and had mr. 305 add his artistic opinion to it... really it seems ,to me at least, a piss poor rendition. The words didn’t mesh with the chorus, and while I didn’t see the movie, it may be a stretch for that.
Tl:dr it’s awful
yes, don't listen to it
I miss this song!!!!!!!!
