I honestly could listen to this all day! I know some people are tired of it but I cant get enough.
Agree. I stopped my errands the first time I heard this, just sat in the car, and thought of autumn 1982... weezer, you nailed it. Awesome. ♥
our humble version of that classic.ua-cam.com/video/Oj1yVgRDOng/v-deo.html
Yes yes YES!!
Yeah, the Weezer cover is kinda fun, and good for him for bringing this iconic song to the consciousness of the younger folk, but Toto's original is still the best IMHO.
Props for going for that chorus!... singing that live, sitting down takes balls.
I love Weezer. I loooooove Rivers. In my 40s and still crushing on him 😁. I loved this song since I was a teen so it’s the best of both worlds
Simply beautiful.
Unplugged and proud. Vocals are so great 👍.
Man they should let Brian take over the highs in the chorus. He’s a beautiful singer.
agreed for years
TRUUUUE
That's exactly what he's doing.
This masterpiece makes me cry. Intrinsically it brings with it a truly incredible emotional power. BUT I'M SURE I'M ON THE RIGHT WAY
R.I.P. FOREVER, MY BROTHER,
😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
LOVE IT! TAKES BALLS (AND TALENT!) TO DO THIS AND DO A DAMN GOOD JOB!!
How could you guys not just be singing along with them?!
Weezer is SO underrated. Easily the BEST band of 2000 - 2020 and I’m sure beyond
Listen to green day
Green Day is the soundtrack to mixing alcohol with prescription painkillers and cutting yourself
stinkerton and amrican dookie
@@tresdanator Don’t you dare disrespec American or tinkerton
@@itsthejaylo ummm Green Day? Lol
One of my all time favorite groups
Speechless... May GOD bless the rain on Africa
Pretty darn good adaptation and performance of the acoustic guitar onthe keyboard parts.
Hashpipe by toto is underrated though...
Takes me back!
This song is so perfect it works in any form
chorus sounds much better than the studio version
This version of the song is my son’s bedtime music. Love the acoustic version!
I'm listening to it before heading to bed. I had a few long days. This will relax my brain. It's the right song for the little ones. ❤
❤😅😊
Amazing, so soft and warm. Sounds like they're performing for you only!
🎼🎤🎸🎙🎶
still my favorite version
They did a great job..
And here comes.. The legendary weezer....
Somebody made Rivers put on one of those silly sticker name tags.
That was fkn awesome weezer never disappoints!!
3:46
The only version of this song that I like 👍🏻
Edited to note: at the concerts I sang/screamed it, along with everyone else, as if it was my all-time favorite song 🤣
Damn good
Aaaahhhh....weezer.....aaahhh
Wow, I love it!!!!
that was magic
very cool they stopped by an did this...
form is temporary class is permanent
I loved it when menace asked Rivers if he was in a Frat at Harvard 😂
I didn't know Winter Soldier could play guitar and sing Africa.
oh shit dude i made the same comment only to see yours after the fact!!! LOL
So true!
I have a new found respect for Weezer...............
Acoustic noun definition is: greatness
Great seeing @weezer on the @thewoodyshow.
amen
awesomeness \m/
I love Weezer this band is what calms me from my normal mayhem!
Perfection
I don't see Al. Where is Al and his accordion?

SwaggerSouls interrupts:
*IT’S GONNA TAKE A LOT TO DRAG ME AWAYYYYY FROM YOUUUUUU*
*THERE’S NOTHING THAT A HUNDRED MEN OR MORE COULD EVER DOOOOO*
*I BLESS THE RAINS DOWN IN AAAAAFRICAAAAA*
*GONNA TAKE SOME TIME TO DO THE THINGS WE NEVER HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD* ooh ooh
Nice ❤
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 old 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 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 (ooh, ooh)
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 (ooh, ooh)
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)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh
Woody Show has a fucking woody for this fucking song
Damn Link i didnt see this episode of good mythical morning
Rivers needs a name tag LOL!!! 🏷😂😂
My favorite song of all time I know cheesy right? I love Toto but I can’t stop listening to this version excellent job weezer
Nice job.
Sing it Bucky!!
Cool
where the hell is pat?? bring some bongos on set or something
So great the millennial generation can vibe with this great song from my generation, as though Toto has been reincarnated, love you guys
stand by me
i didnt know the winter soldier was in weezer!!!???
Please stand for our national anthem of memeville:
I hope I'm not the only one that has had enough of this song LOL. Still love Weezer haha
100% with ya
I had enough of it... But that was a few weeks ago and I like it again
Zachary Waxman Probably a weezer gag where they only play Africa for the rest of the year 😂
Actually Africa never ends, this song will never die. So get use to it. We are going to bless the rains until the end of time. And it will take a lot to drag me away from it.
THIS SONG WILL NEVER BE OLD!! Weezer’s version, yes, but Toto’s is legendary
Them: The perfect song does not exist
Me an intellectual:
Where is Pat?
I’m pooping
black and yellow
Who the hell puts a negative rating on this? Seriously?
Hiii do you have the interview?? Please!!
rivers has fountain of youth, he looks so young for a man on his age Lol
dimas pradipta it’s sad to see him going bald
Hes been vegan his entire life and has never done drugs and rarely drinks
has been meditate his entire life as well
@@dimaspradipta5445 and doesnt smoke cigarettes
gang gang are you fucking kidding? Never done drugs? He’s done drugs plenty.
Did they write any of their own songs ?
Bruh
Didn’t know austin powers could also sing
Nice cover of a song done less strained by the originals (Toto)…
Weezer....
Who ever does your dusting needs a reprimand.
is that Link Neal after he got middle aged?
Sorry guys my taxi broke down and I can't make it to the station. Aka save me the embarrassment.
i dont like toto, but when weezer sing africa i really enjoyed it
jordan peterson
Is Weezer like super obsessed with Africa or something?
Daniel Ortega Obsessed with milking all that they can with that song
@@ObiWanKenobi like why tho, they could make cool covers from their own old songs like Buddy Holly or The Sweater Song, but all i see is this damn shit
Daniel Ortega Africa is what they’re famous for this year so might as well play acoustically what made them popular this year.
All their other new stuff sucks. It's the only thing they have now. ;)
It started as a meme and then the song put them back on the billboard charts.
Little out of their wheel house
My sense is there's not a lot of auto-tune. This is kinda old-school. It's okay. A guy with a really strong voice would come in and blow this away - like Bono or someone . But this is okay.
It’s a live studio performance on a radio show… of course there’s no auto tune.
I love the original song. So so much. But I think Weezer could of done better by NOT having the backup singers in the same tone as the lead. They were all high pitched. They needed an alto. They were all trying to be leading in the chorus. It sounded silly
Did Rivers lose his upper tooths?
Do they have their own songs or just make covers of great bands?
120+ of them
They only sing Africa no more covers no more songs just africa
the wiggles
Dude on our right has the better voice tho
Why are they acting like this is their new hit song? It’s starting to get annoying.
Because it - objectively - is.
Really?? Of ALL the songs they could've performed they went with a cover?? Would've preferred Happy Hour or something Weezer-original...
Jonathan Gonzalez of all the songs they could’ve played that were “Weezer-original” you pick Happy Hour?
@@youknowwhoiam2771 LOOOL
@@youknowwhoiam2771 well, if we wanna go recent, mainstream radio, yes
Jonathan Gonzalez well what if we don’t want to go recent mainstream radio?
@@youknowwhoiam2771 then that goes back to what I originally commented, and the answer to that would be, "obviously something's that NOT a cover"...
iphone 11
Lol they play it every night and still have to count out loud
WhyTheHorseface they struggle with real songs. Rivers is a shallow lyricist and above average guitar player compared to guitar center kids. His vocals have no range. Weezer is overrated
lol you're an idiot
Autotune killed this version of the song
Mike masse did a great cover of this song..way better than weezer
Mike Masse 👌
Invited to play acoustic of a song they didn't invent. Great...
Grizzly agree. Just losers. Anyway , TOTO was just real musicians comparing with this clowns
José A. Catalán C. How are they not musicians? They play and write their own music, that’s the actual definition of a musician
Learn the song chump.
Get rid of the laptop
