    I was in 8th grade when this came out and always liked it. I had to recently learn this song for a gig which lead me down a short Toto rabbit hole. I realized how cool the guitar parts are, how fun this is to play, and was reminded how much I liked it. I never paid attention to the lyrics until now and found this hilarious.

    I am hard pressed to think of a song I dislike more than "Africa" by Toto. It may be some kind of genetic wiring short, or it may be common sense which causes every muscle in my body to tense and a desire to smash whatever is producing the noise, but either way, it happens. There are only two things I can think of which come close to causing such mind-bending agony. They are: Any song from Steve Winwood's "Back In The High Life" album, and when people toss a weighted burlap bag full of helpless kittens into the river.

    It is a hoot … at first. But with these things I’m never sure what irritates me more: tourists who gush on and on about their magical Africa trip or the “woke", white folk who get such a kick out of reprimanding them. The former are merely expanding their limited horizons after all while the latter risk the "Rabbit Hole of Wokeness". Also, don’t know how many folks are aware of Steve’s CV. He was the Boston College adjunct who resigned to protest the selection of Condoleezza Rice as the college's 2006 commencement guest speaker. Apparently all those years he was sharing his wit with the undergrads, he was just fine and dandy with the Jesuit institution’s rather conservative approach to minorities. Just one example: bcheights.com/2018/02/11/citing-agreement-foundation-bc-will-not-change-name-yawkey-athletic-center/ Besides, I still think it’s a catchy toon ;)

    My favourite comments are those of people who say "could you do any better?" NO. We couldn't, but as humans, we critique things, and it's a normal thing to do. If we didn't critique stuff, it would be a boring world. Most reaction channels are way better than normal channels.

    I really don't understand the hate for 'Africa'. I haven't come to understand it any more from hearing this either. The lyrics just use the usual devices which lots of other songs and poetry also use. I'm not a Toto fan but I've never got it. 'Do They Know It's Christmas' is so much worse and more offensive, and Paul Simon's entire 'Graceland' album was composed by exploiting African musicians.. I've also never seen this song as having anything to do with development or foreign aid issues, and I don't really think it has. Africa the continent is not just about imperialism and exploitation, and seeing it in that way is patronising and stereotypical.

      You have NO idea what you're talking about. If you actually read the book, you'd know that Dolly and her dad took over that house from renters who had neglected it so bad it was falling apart. They plastered the entire outside, because the brick was crumbling, BY HAND. With plaster they mixed themselves, trowel by trowel. They redid the plumbing in the bathroom, redid the cabinets which no longer worked, cleaned out all the garbage and the rats, and paneled it. Dolly did this when she was only 14 years old, and she learned how to do most of it by simply reading books on home repair at the local library. The whole point is that they took cheap housing and made it livable with their own two hands and almost NO capital. THAT is the meaning of Possum Living.
