Weezer - Africa

Weezer - Africa (Live from Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve)

From the channel of weezer.

In December 2017, Twitter user "@WeezerAfrica," run by 14-year-old Cleveland, Ohio resident Mary Klym, tweeted, "@RiversCuomo it's about time you bless the rains down in Africa." The band released a cover of "Rosanna," a different Toto song (also from the album Toto IV), in order to troll Klym and those clamoring for a version of "Africa". Weezer released "Africa" on May 29, 2018. It was the band's first Hot 100 hit since 2009. The song reached number 51 on the Hot 100 and peaked at number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart in August 2018, becoming the band's first number-one single since 2008. Source: Wikipedia
