yea, not convinced that works to be fair. i love low also.

they should release it on an africa shaped 7" for RSD. make a killing.

Rosanna is better, though it does sound a bit like Stars by Simply Red at the beginning. Africa is mega though.

would you say he’s a BUDDy of yours? hahahah

Great video, especially the black guy in a loincloth trying to throw a spear at the black girl in the library.

Oh I am sorry. I can assure you that was the one thing I didn’t want to happen.

You and he are BUDDies…aren’t you?

I member this song

This is the one Roger Sanchez sampled. Great song…

Given the video I’d definitely say it’s the above.

Some SERIOUS high bass guitar work in that video, @Epimer

this song just makes me think of this (and my ex-flatmate/drummer of Post Louis who would play it all the time)

My favourite website that covers the Detroit Lions has adopted Africa as a winning anthem, so I now associate it with good things.

There is a twitter account that tweets all the lyrics

I thought it was “rises like an Empress”. That makes more sense than Olympus. I like how they shoehorned that whole phrase in either way.
