Africa by Toto Pin from @bxebuttonsxstaciamade. Their new #africabytoto pins are available now. This is a little different than the usual #enamelpin, because, well, there’s no enamel. It’s a printed picture that gets an epoxy layer and is called a #photodome. - - - #totoafrica #toto #weezer #pins #enamelpins #pingame #pingamestrong #flair #hatpin #lapelpin #iblesstherains #pin #iblesstherainsdowninafrica #weezerafrica #pincollection #pinsofinstagram #patchgame #pinsandpatches #africa #rain #blesstherain #rainyseason #bxebuttonsxstaciamade #pingameproper #pinoftheday #pincollector #🌧 https://www.instagram.com/p/BoH4pdaFwvb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kfbqt61z569c

Best of 2018 Music #16: Weezer “Africa”
The best cover of the year belongs to a long gestating campaign to see popular band Weezer cover a classic song from 1985.
Twitter User Mary Kylm who is an avid fan of the group began to create an account solely for the purpose of getting her favorite group to cover Africa by the band Toto.
While nearly a carbon copy of the original this does have its value, and this is their best song in a very long time.
The high placement on her comes thanks to a music video where Weird Al Yankovic acted as the band, while he is virtually unrecognizable as band lead Rivers Cuomo. Accordion solo in all, this was worth seeing the fans persistence pay off.
Also Pitbull making it his own thanks to Aquaman.
Sum 22: Rivers Cuomo blessed the rains down in Africa thanks to the fans who were clamoring for this cover. Best cover this year.

Un nouvel article a été publié sur https://www.rollingstone.fr/weezer-les-fans-lattendaient-voici-la-cover-de-toto-africa/
Weezer : les fans l'attendaient, voici la cover de Toto "Africa"
Une fan ado a passé des mois à demander à Weezer de reprendre le fameux hit de 1982, « Africa �� de Toto… et son voeu a été exhaussé !
Weezer a suscité la surprise, hier, en dévoilant la tant attendue reprise du hit « Africa » de Toto datant de 1982. Tout est venu de la demande d’une grande fan du groupe. N’ayant pas eu de réponse, celle-ci en est même venue à créer un compte Twitter attitré qui nous avait enthousiasmé : @weezerafrica.
Selon Noisey, Mary, une jeune fille de 14 ans, est la tête pensante de cette manigance sur les réseaux sociaux. Une héroïne ! La semaine dernière, Weezer a joué au bluff en proposant une reprise de Toto… mais pas du morceau convoité, puisqu’il s’agissait du titre « Rosanna ». Des petits blagueurs ? C’était sans compter la fameuse récompense. Comme @weezerafrica l’a noté hier, « On dirait que @Weezer a finalement béni les pluies… » quand le groupe a fait le buzz en dévoilant sa version de « Africa ».
Looks like @Weezer finally blessed the rains…#WeezerCoverAfrica pic.twitter.com/r1xT30iVoz
— weezer cover africa (blue check) (@weezerafrica) 29 mai 2018
Finalement, ça rend comment ? Autant dire que cette cover est une réussite totale. Très bien produite – pas étonnant chez les Weezer – la chanson respecte l’essence du groupe de Rivers Cuomo : un rock smooth et américain. C’est en écoute ci-dessous :
youtube
Weezer a récemment fait allusion à une probable sortie, cette année, de leur nouvel album éponyme : le « Black Album ». Une sorte de suite de leur précédent éponyme « White Album » datant de 2016. L’an dernier, le groupe nous avait un peu déçu avec le fast-food « Pacific Daydream », qui malgré quelques bons moments (« Happy Hour », « Mexican Fender », « Beach Boys »), peinait à nous retenir tout du long. Entre les nombreux projets avec Weezer, le frontman et chanteur a sorti en mars dernier un single solo inattendu, « Medicine for Melancholy ».
