I admit that I liked Toto. But I also like this version.

Speaking on behalf of Africa: This is great.

Was never a Toto fan so I really like the spin you've given this. Nice one !

Wow. I'm REALLY digging this irreverent take. There's something about it that tickles both my funny bone and also my this effing rocks bone. Damn, this is fun.

Awesome interpretation!  I love when you stop and say "Go on, mate, she's waitin' there for you" with British accent  .  It needs a fresh take because the original has become almost unlistenable, not because it isn't a great and creative song by a super talented band, but because it got overplayed on the radio. I still enjoy it sometimes if I listen after not hearing for a long time. Yours will be a great alternative

Way prefer this to the original just sounds just cooler.
The punk vibe you would never suit this, but it just works so
well!!!

By the way big respect on the production, cool!

Absolutely bollock-scratchingly brilliant. Superb musicianship and production, along with the stick-it-to-the-man-original attitude. First class. Well done.

I remember when i was young and good looking (i'm lying on both accounts ) and i noticed that some of the sounds on Yamaha DX7 sounds exactly like on Toto's Africa. My first reaction was... Burn that sh*t!

So with bated breath i hit play and waited if ODH would fail once in his life. Turns out i should have trusted the good ol' ODH as what started playing was a lot more enjoyable than what those "Tonto" guys did.

Works a treat! Go fetch ODH!

I admit that I liked Toto.

But as you're talking in past tense it's clear that you're ok now! ().
