Every time I hear the song 'Africa' by Toto, it makes me feel happy. Does it make you feel the same?

Yes I dance around to Africa weekly on my record player.
I love the sound and upbeat tones of the song.

Oh yeah, definitely. It used to be really overplayed on the radio, but now I like it more because it was in Stranger Things!

Yes!! Oh, my goodness! I thought I was the only one. I will stop what I'm doing to listen to it. The imagery in that song is so beautiful, and the music makes me feel like I'm being carried on a warm breeze.

Absolutely it cheers me up! It’s such a great anthem and easy to sing along with. It also just makes me think of how free we were in the 80s! I was a child so it was an easy time

Absolutely! Every time I hear that beat, I just feel this wave of happiness overcome me. :lol: And by God, whenever the chorus hits, I have to belt it out. I'm not terribly impressed with Weezer's cover of it, though. I do enjoy much of their music, but their rendition doesn't give me the same experience.

First time I heard this song was at a friend's wedding! I love it! If anything, the memory of hearing it first at the wedding makes me smile. :)

Absolutely! It is definitely a fun, feel good song. It also reminds me of the video that Dax Shepherd and Kristen Bell made when the went to Africa. They made their own music video using the Toto song. Very fun!
