The Sunday Share: A trip to Africa
March 3rd, 2024 at 06:52am
This week we’re going to Africa!
I’m sure you’re familiar with Toto’s song “Africa”. Well a few years ago a more modern group, Weezer, produced a cover version of it after a campaign on Twitter requested it for reasons which aren’t particularly clear to anyone whatsoever.
To make matters even more peculiar, the video clip which they produced to go with it features Weird Al Yankovic acting a parody of Weezer lead singer Rivers Cuomo in what is apparently a send-up of a much older Weezer video clip for a song which I’m not really acquainted, plus some extra Weird Al accordion weirdness.
I’m not much of a fan of Weezer’s own work, but their covers of other people’s songs tend to be quite good. This is no exception.
