      The '20s called, said these guys need to break in to swing music. 'Roaring Twenties' by Hyles & Young has a certain ring to it.

      "...Jonathan tried to enter the room as quiet as he could not to wake up his tender roommate. The cold morning shower he just had filled him with energy and John started humming a classic Africa by Toto. He wanted to go back in his bedroom, as he still wore nothing but a towel around his private part, but suddenly some weird feel of curiosity or something made him take one step back to be right in front of Caleb`s room. The door wasn`t locked and Johnny silently walked in. Oh, how sweet looked his Sleeping Beauty! And following the plot of the tale, Jonathan didn`t even resist his urge to kiss.
      "Goodmorning, my puppy" - he said to the immediatly awoken Caleb. He looked surprised, though John suspected that both the look and sleep were fake.
      He continued the kiss. He decided to try being more passionate, forgetting any last drop of shame. And then, he felt Caleb Hyles` warm arms around his waist. Of course, the towel fell down and John now stood there completely nude..."

    I hear the drums echoing tonight
    But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
    She's coming in, 12:30 flight
    The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
    I stopped an old man along the way
    Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
    He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
    It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
    There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
    The wild dogs cry out in the night
    As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
    I know that I must do what's right
    As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
    I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
    It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
    There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
    Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
    It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
    There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    (I bless the rain)
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    (I bless the rain)
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    I bless the rains down in Africa
    (Ah, gonna take the time)

      It started out as a common jazz lick regardless of instrument, but Adam Neely (a bassist RUclipsr) popularised it fafaik. I'm pretty sure this is is a nod to him.
