Let’s talk about how IMPRESSIVE Danny’s range is and how he didn’t realize Africa is sang by two people (one doing the chorus and one doing the verses) so he just stunted on EVERYONE with his voice.
@@turbocoffeehypercorn4170 No the lyric is Olympus. Just checked like, 3 sources, and they all said that it was Olympus. It's hard to hear when toto sings it but Danny said it perfectly hear.
I listened to this the entire time my wife was pregnant, and now my two-month old daughter gets excited and then falls asleep to this song every day, several times. It is her song now. Thanks Danny and Ninja Brian!
now I'm curious which one you think looks like a scarecrow. Dr Sung? Because he's wearing yellow I guess? Also Phobos or Havve could both be seen as tin men.
I can’t imagine NSP without TWRP anymore. Just such an amazing combination. Two incredibly talented bands coming together to make phenomenal music. I’m glad this friendship bloomed in to something great for both parties and I hope it stays like this forever.
So NSP. I'm not sure if your going to read this but I'll send it. So I have completed 9 weeks of Basic combat training. During this time no one was able to listen to music or even see media. This song was the only song we all remembered the words to. So imagine 42 guys in a hallway, haven't heard any music in 6 weeks, all harmonizing Africa by Toto at 8pm. Thank you for the music you make and the happiness you bring through it.
An army buddy and I loved watching NSP and grumps videos on the weekends. You meet some best friends for life while serving. Good luck with your time in brother.
Danny's music feels like all the best things about the 80s wrapped up into a little time capsule for everyone born later who didnt get to experience them themselves.
I fucking love how good your guys music vid quality has gotten. Still miss the days of Danny prancing around on a toy horse in the middle of a suburb though.
I’m a very simple man. I get a notification in the middle of chemistry class saying NSP uploaded a new video, I watch NSP’s new video in the middle of chemistry class
Set is in a cool place you can go to called Meow Wolf, which is in New Mexico. It’s really trippy and is meant to be walked through. There’s a whole story you can uncover, however it takes multiple visits.
I was there 2 weeks ago it seems like you spend like 5 hours in such a small place but you have really spent 1 hour its a weird place but i might go back again
"No Nut November dudes. Stay stro-" 'NSP releases cover of Africa from one of their cover albums' "We'll get 'em next time". Thanks for correcting me mah dudes.
I visited Meow Wolfs House of Eternal Return (where they filmed this) recently, and the whole time I was pointing out where they filmed shots from this and the We Built This City video. I've walked through that fridge, and stood in that main jungle room where TWRP were playing their instruments. Seriously one of the trippiest places I've ever been, I'd highly recommend.
Africa is such an iconic song and Danny sings it so fucking well, it's almost like listening to the original. His voice is so fucking smooth and melodic, it's captivating and just fucking amazing. Seriously, listening to him sing this and hearing Brian and TWRP play makes me want to close my eyes and focus wholly on the sounds, but watching this music video I've gotta keep my eyes open and appreciate the totally awesome outfits, location, and cinematography. Man, Under The Covers II is fucking wicked and I'm loving every music video being released for the songs they've covered. NSP are getting better and better and it's astounding to see and makes me proud as fuck to be a fan following them as they continue to rise. Can't wait for more awesome music videos in the future.
Brian's body language on that keyboard solo was so perfect. I love that you can really hear the high notes on the last chorus, which kinda got lost under Weezer's wall of sound. You went into the fridge for a chill experience and that's what we all got. Summer's over, bless the rains! Edited for stupid wording
Lots of singers have a two-octive range, which is all this song requires to sing both the verses and the chorus; but a THREE octive range is a rarer thing.
You guys are such an inspiration. You do so much for us all. You make me want to achieve my dreams and be successful! You just create such phenomenal music and videos. It’s god damn amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing because everything right down to the drum beat, bass, guitar and fucking singing is fucking amazing. I enjoy every little note of it. Don’t stop, you’re an inspiration to many, myself included. Don’t think of yourself or anything less please. Love, a grateful fan.
Watching this is so surreal! I remember when back when they used a dummy dressed like Danny and now they're able to shoot gorgeous videos like this. It's amazing how far they've come.
This video is filmed at Meow Wolf Santa Fe, and it only shows maybe 1/4 of all the amazing interactive rooms they have! It's like Alice in Wonderland, an enchanted forest, the happiest acid trip of your life, and an alien planet all in one. Go there ASAP! You will NOT regret it! :)
@@cyprus9624 well if you ever get to go again, they have adult only nights where there aren''t kids running around. its definitely a worthy experience when you get the space to enjoy it
1. Love the new Sexbang Suit and hope it'll return. 2. EYEBROWS. 3. Magnificent set. Really into it. 4. Excellent personality. Everybody got some fun spotlight that fit in well with the chill of the song. Glad to see more camera goofing from TWRP and Brian.
All my thoughts right here ^ that suit looks awesome I want to see more of that one. Shit I want one. Too bad I'm not sexbangy enough to wear it anyway 😔
You can actually visit where they shot this fairly priced. They essentially have like hidden doors in like washing machines and the fridge etc and each one takes you to like a different area. Like an 80's retro cartoon set etc. As stated in the description the place is called Meow Wolf in Sana Fe. I'd say visit the place at least once in your lifetime. Its pretty dang neat If I do say so myself. Not sure if prices increased since I went since I went before the media really caught wind of it.
Tickets at $25 for adults, $23 for seniors/military, and $19 for kids. (Unless you live in the state, then you have a discount.) Adding that to the bucket list!
The fuck are you talking about? Dude hit the jackpot in joining Game Grumps; there isn't just a Game Grumps-like outfit out there for everyone with similar talents and skills. I'm not saying this isn't a slick video, or that Dan isn't hella good at both music and comedy, but don't lie to yourself and say 'persistence' is the main element at play. If he had missed whatever channel initially got him in contact with Arin it's very likely that not even a hundredth of us would know of him. Hell, less than a thousandth would still be a conservative estimate. The fact that there are very many people with similar talents who are compelled to channel their skills into PR, advertising or some other bullshit nothing-job is a goddamn tragedy.
Ashley Nu i didn’t deny that game grumps surely helped him a lot. But he did try a lot of things before he ever started game grumps. He could just have given up before game grumps or said to him self game grumps is enough for me. And just because he is part of game grumps doesn’t really mean that all his success was just given to him.
@@KuroiPK I don't deny any of that; it shows that Dan has a lot of enthusiasm for the stuff he makes, and he's really good at it. I know it sucks to be called out by a randomer on the internet, but for every person like Dan there's hundreds of people who could never hope to work on projects like this, and not for lack of skill, dedication or enthusiasm. The problem of saying something like 'this shows persistence is important' is because it is a lie of omission: it implicitly calls into question the 'persistence' of people who have had to settle for menial jobs, or who went into debt through their persistence and still couldn't sustain themselves. Things are more broken from the ground up than can be solved on an individual basis through persistence, and though I might say persistence is an important thing to have when trying to get into a narrow field/industry, it merely maximises a random chance. And that is a random chance that eludes more talent than it finds.
Ashley Nu well I think that or understanding of “persistence” is somewhat different. (Maybe you think that for me is persistence the only factor, which is not the case). I also know that luck is Import and persistence alone isn’t enough or that it can ruin ones life. But what you described about that persistence isn’t enough and you can’t afford your livelihood was actually the case for some years for Dan too. And of course their are countless other people with similar skill set like him that didn’t make it (again didn’t deny any of that nor was this my point, or that he is special in that sense). For me there are three possible outcomes. 1 You make it. 2 You give up. 3 You die trying (which again I’m not saying that it’s the smartest, or easiest, way of living).
I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She's coming in twelve-thirty flight Her 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" Gonna to take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I'll bless the rains down in Africa Going to 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 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 Gonna to take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I'll bless the rains down in Africa Going to take some time to do the things we never had Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I'll bless the rains down in Africa I'll bless the rains down in Africa (I'll bless the rains) I'll bless the rains down in Africa (I'll bless the rains) I'll bless the rains down in Africa I'll bless the rains down in Africa (going take some) Going take some time to do the things we never had
@@GuardedFox Agreed - normally it feels like Danny adds vocal depth to a cover, but in this one, as much as I love it, it feels like a layer was stripped away.
A song that makes me stop. Laugh, cry and smile. It's the 80's rolled into a bun. It strikes a chord. I loved seeing you guys in Edinburgh and I can't wait to see you again !
Yeah, he added *so much* to the song. Honestly, if you *genuinely* love this, but didn't even like the original you're full of shit. Even if you argue his cover was better than the original, it sounds marginally different. This isn't Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" FFS.
Finally! I'm so glad they made a music video on this song, it was easily my favorite and I was kinda disappointed when they didn't release it to youtube when it first came out.
OKAY HOLY SHIT I'VE BEEN TO THE PLACE THEY FILMED THIS AND NOW I'M FLIPPING OUT this just made my day THANK YOU NSP TWO OF MY FAVORITE THINGS IN ONE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I'M SO HAPPY
the one of Danny at 4:19 where the camera is backing up is my favorite shot cause it fits the mood so perfectly and I wish it lasted like 5 more seconds

I watched this when it dropped, but sad Arin made me want to watch it again, its a shame people posted Ghoul Grumps stuff here. I understand, Yes Dan is a Grump, but NSP has really nothing to do with GG so why? Just baffles me
i saw this last year when they posted it. if i didnt know Dan was singing this i swear i was listening to Toto. now everytime i hear it on the radio i think its Dan singing. Awesome job on this. Love it! you totally nailed it!

I’m so glad Danny enunciates his syllables. For the longest time I couldn’t tell what Kilimanjaro was rising like.
I always thought it was "I -touched- the rains down in Africa"
Kilimanjaro is rising like an empress, but I'm like 85% sure Danny said like Olympus, which is what I used to think the lyric was

Is anyone going to mention that they brought a lion, a tin man and a scarecrow for a cover of Toto? I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.
That’s TWRP, they just wear that all the time because they’re cool like that

They were always pretty capable of shooting great videos. Just the dolls were amazing for their stupid songs.
Don't count that dummy out. I completely expect that dummy to show up again. The quality of the videos has increased though.
This video is filmed at Meow Wolf Santa Fe, and it only shows maybe 1/4 of all the amazing interactive rooms they have! It's like Alice in Wonderland, an enchanted forest, the happiest acid trip of your life, and an alien planet all in one. Go there ASAP! You will NOT regret it! :)
I'm surprised they didn't show the washing machine portal tbh
I went during my trip to New Mexico and I thought it was shit. Dark and crowded.
@@cyprus9624 well if you ever get to go again, they have adult only nights where there aren''t kids running around. its definitely a worthy experience when you get the space to enjoy it
Yeah I live in nm and it's a really fun place I've been a bunch of times
Good to know! I was wondering how they'd squeezed a set like that into their production budget.
Legend has it, if you watch this five times in a row, twice a day, your depression will be cured
M KZ I only need to listen to it once for my depression to be cured
Only if you watch the latest Andrew wk videos as well. Specifically music is work living for and you're not alone.
It really works
his voice calls me so it cured my depression
1. Love the new Sexbang Suit and hope it'll return.
2. EYEBROWS.
3. Magnificent set. Really into it.
4. Excellent personality. Everybody got some fun spotlight that fit in well with the chill of the song. Glad to see more camera goofing from TWRP and Brian.
RMD Cade that's not a set that's a real place you can go to right now in New Mexico called Meow Wolf
@@collectedcrows4034 Okay thanks packing all my belongings and going to live there permanently now~
All my thoughts right here ^ that suit looks awesome I want to see more of that one. Shit I want one. Too bad I'm not sexbangy enough to wear it anyway 😔
RMD Cade What you said! Yes!
RMD Cade we all have the right amount of sexbang in each of us. Not to mirror another’s but make it our own sexiness - Albert Finestein
You can actually visit where they shot this fairly priced. They essentially have like hidden doors in like washing machines and the fridge etc and each one takes you to like a different area. Like an 80's retro cartoon set etc. As stated in the description the place is called Meow Wolf in Sana Fe. I'd say visit the place at least once in your lifetime. Its pretty dang neat If I do say so myself. Not sure if prices increased since I went since I went before the media really caught wind of it.
Tickets at $25 for adults, $23 for seniors/military, and $19 for kids. (Unless you live in the state, then you have a discount.) Adding that to the bucket list!
Wait where is this
@@jessrosenquist2371 Meow Wolf in Santa Fe, NM
That’s really impressive, Dan really did show that persistence is important to succeed
IKR
The fuck are you talking about? Dude hit the jackpot in joining Game Grumps; there isn't just a Game Grumps-like outfit out there for everyone with similar talents and skills. I'm not saying this isn't a slick video, or that Dan isn't hella good at both music and comedy, but don't lie to yourself and say 'persistence' is the main element at play. If he had missed whatever channel initially got him in contact with Arin it's very likely that not even a hundredth of us would know of him. Hell, less than a thousandth would still be a conservative estimate. The fact that there are very many people with similar talents who are compelled to channel their skills into PR, advertising or some other bullshit nothing-job is a goddamn tragedy.
Ashley Nu i didn’t deny that game grumps surely helped him a lot. But he did try a lot of things before he ever started game grumps. He could just have given up before game grumps or said to him self game grumps is enough for me. And just because he is part of game grumps doesn’t really mean that all his success was just given to him.
@@KuroiPK I don't deny any of that; it shows that Dan has a lot of enthusiasm for the stuff he makes, and he's really good at it. I know it sucks to be called out by a randomer on the internet, but for every person like Dan there's hundreds of people who could never hope to work on projects like this, and not for lack of skill, dedication or enthusiasm. The problem of saying something like 'this shows persistence is important' is because it is a lie of omission: it implicitly calls into question the 'persistence' of people who have had to settle for menial jobs, or who went into debt through their persistence and still couldn't sustain themselves. Things are more broken from the ground up than can be solved on an individual basis through persistence, and though I might say persistence is an important thing to have when trying to get into a narrow field/industry, it merely maximises a random chance. And that is a random chance that eludes more talent than it finds.
Ashley Nu well I think that or understanding of “persistence” is somewhat different. (Maybe you think that for me is persistence the only factor, which is not the case). I also know that luck is Import and persistence alone isn’t enough or that it can ruin ones life. But what you described about that persistence isn’t enough and you can’t afford your livelihood was actually the case for some years for Dan too. And of course their are countless other people with similar skill set like him that didn’t make it (again didn’t deny any of that nor was this my point, or that he is special in that sense). For me there are three possible outcomes. 1 You make it. 2 You give up. 3 You die trying (which again I’m not saying that it’s the smartest, or easiest, way of living).
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her 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"
Gonna to take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I'll bless the rains down in Africa
Going to 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
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
Gonna to take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I'll bless the rains down in Africa
Going to take some time to do the things we never had
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I'll bless the rains down in Africa
I'll bless the rains down in Africa (I'll bless the rains)
I'll bless the rains down in Africa (I'll bless the rains)
I'll bless the rains down in Africa
I'll bless the rains down in Africa (going take some)
Going take some time to do the things we never had
Let's try our best to make this beautiful shit trending SHARE IT BOYS
If the thumbnail alone isn't enough for UA-cam to put it on Trending I don't know what is...
shared on all outlets, and this shits on repeat baby!
I'm surprised at how close this actually sounds to the original
Raging Alpaca yeah same, better than weezer
Weezer did a good one to
Danny can not hit Kimbal’s range. That’s the only thing stopping this from being on par with the original. For me at least anyway.
@@GuardedFox Agreed - normally it feels like Danny adds vocal depth to a cover, but in this one, as much as I love it, it feels like a layer was stripped away.
Lol everyone can do the same like the original, wha's so surprising about it?
Thank you Danny, very cool!
A song that makes me stop. Laugh, cry and smile. It's the 80's rolled into a bun. It strikes a chord. I loved seeing you guys in Edinburgh and I can't wait to see you again !
Brian the last one without shoulder pads.
Danny's jacket is amazing. Tucker Directed.
Meouch RIghtful king of Narnia confirmed.
Actionfigures when.
I swear we really need some NSP/TWRP action figures already
i neeeeed it
YES
And when you take off the headwear of any TWRP member there's just another, identical hat mask helmet underneath.
@@aortaplatinum and ninja brian is autonomous. He hides whenever you're not looking
I'd buy them all
“I was singing Africa before it was cool.” -Leigh-Daniel Avidan
Africa was always cool
Yeah, he added *so much* to the song. Honestly, if you *genuinely* love this, but didn't even like the original you're full of shit. Even if you argue his cover was better than the original, it sounds marginally different. This isn't Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" FFS.
Uh Huh you ok?
@@12heavyweaponsguy Yeah....Why wouldn't I be? I'm simply pointing out the dumbness of a comment. Are you okay?
@@uhhuh9804 Is your default setting asshole or something?
God damn Danny's harmonies are like pure velvet on this one. So great!
What have you done Daniel?
Your voice blessed the rains too much and flooded an entire continent
it flooded my pants
These covers are amazing. Keep up the amazing work guys.
They live in the fridge because they're the Cool Patrol.
i....... I'm gonna just slow clap it out
Huh neat
Gro Skunk Ayeeeeeee
So fu**ing impressive. The amount of talent in this one video is astounding.
God damn, Tucker! You directed an amazing music video. Is there anything you can't do???
Ikr, hes a very talented individual!
Finally! I'm so glad they made a music video on this song, it was easily my favorite and I was kinda disappointed when they didn't release it to youtube when it first came out.
Same
We didn't deserve this but we got it anyways.
Agreed
OKAY HOLY SHIT
I'VE BEEN TO THE PLACE THEY FILMED THIS AND NOW I'M FLIPPING OUT
this just made my day THANK YOU NSP
TWO OF MY FAVORITE THINGS IN ONE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I'M SO HAPPY
0:24 - 0:27 i do not know why, but i like this shot the most
Ditto
Reminds me of walking out of the locker room with the football team before a game.
I literally checked the comments to see if I was the only one omg I kept rewatching it
It's the color, man.
the one of Danny at 4:19 where the camera is backing up is my favorite shot cause it fits the mood so perfectly and I wish it lasted like 5 more seconds
The Grump's offices final form
Tassie Bloom is that the grump office??
bdkwhdiwbx that's exactly what I was thinking
@@PinkLava1011 hey I know it's been almost a year but this was filmed at meow wolf in santa fe, new mexico and I HIGHLY recommend going it's the most magical experience I've ever had
I missed this but Sad Arin led me here and I was so surprised yay
The Expert Dual Duelist same here, it's terrible that so many people bogged this awesome music video with "where's ghoul grumps" just enjoy the tastiness that is nsp lovelies!
Sad Arin led me here too, just so I can tell Danny to not give a fuck and keep making awesome content with is biggest big buddy.
I hate seeing Arin sad
I watched this when it dropped, but sad Arin made me want to watch it again, its a shame people posted Ghoul Grumps stuff here. I understand, Yes Dan is a Grump, but NSP has really nothing to do with GG so why? Just baffles me
I can’t see any of the comments
I see the fridge was inspired by the escape room
The direction for this was made by Tucker... so probably yeah.. it was that.
Bump this if Nsp should do a cover of Don’t stop me now... you know... by queen
YES PLEASE.
Why has this not happened yet?
They should do either "Bicycle" or "Bohemian Rhapsody"
I'd love to hear then cover any Queen songs! Princes of the Universe, Flash, The Show Must Go On!
I think Danny's vocals are better suited to killer queen Tbh
Forget the TARDIS, the wardrobe to Narnia, and the rabbit hole to Wonderland. I rather go through the fridge to NSP Africa
That is not actually Africa... Danny and Brian just REALLY need to clean out their fridge. I mean... how long has that casserole been in there?
Just so you know dude, this is Meow Wolf is Santa Fe New Mexico
SAME HERE!
Agreed
Holy fuck yes
you guys should cover hotel california by the eagles!! i would kill to hear that
Bruh that 3 minute solo would be so fucking lit I can feel it
Same
that would be the best thing
Or a Steely Dan song
I'd make a ritual sacrifice for that
i saw this last year when they posted it. if i didnt know Dan was singing this i swear i was listening to Toto. now everytime i hear it on the radio i think its Dan singing. Awesome job on this. Love it! you totally nailed it!
