At least the video is different.
Their cover of Africa is almost identical to Toto's version. I don't understand why it's so popular as it sounds almost exactly the same (and I love Weezer).
You answered your own question, guy.
I do agree, doesn't exactly feel remixed, but rather 'replayed' by Weezer. First time I heard it I got really confused as to why an Alt-Rock radio station was playing "Africa" by Toto.
I haven’t listened to this but last summer (2017) Weezer played a music festival at citi fields parking lot (asphalt is a shitty place to stand for hours listening to music) and they covered OutKast’s Hey Ya and were amazing.
I've seen them twice and they were amazing both times. They didn't cover Hey Ya, but I've heard them cover Lady Gaga's Poker Face and it was great.
This Africa cover though, is just the exact same version as Toto's. I don't get it (other than the original is great as well).
I think there is more to the story, couldn't find a link to the article I read a few months ago that explained things but from what I remember there were some weezer fans in Africa that started a social media campaign pushing for weezer to cover Africa by Toto. When asked about it Weezer said a couple of times they didn't want to do it because they didn't think they could do a cover that was interesting or much different from the original but the people kept pushing. So Weezer made a coverer of Rosanna by Toto instead thinking it might appease the fans, it didn't so then they finally relented and made the Africa cover.
That's pretty good, but I see your Paul Anka and raise you The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain.
How did the roster thread turn into the stadium thread?
Yup. Villa went over to Dome during the match. Didn’t hear anything he said but probably a substitution.
This has to be Villa’s last season.
Do you know about when this was? Because Villa was running down CBs late in the game, so just curious if he was having issues earlier then that, or this was a late game thing. Because then also, why wasn’t he subbed?
And he was still looking for another goal and screaming at guys at the very end. He ripped Amagat when he didn’t pass to him.
I see your Bad Plus and raise you a banjo, accordion, and an anvil.
Also, these guys play in NYC 1-2 times a year and are very well worth going to. I've seen them twice and they were a complete blast.
Also2 - I'm considering this roster related since they are from Finland and I am thus blindly assuming are good friends with Alex Ring.
This rule is overdue. What Chelsea are doing with the loan system is ridiculous. It's pretty damaging for the CFG model, but good for the game overall imo.
