Weezer finally fulfill fan-led campaign by covering Toto’s “Africa”: Stream
For more than a year now, the Twitter account @WeezerAfrica has been campaigning Weezer to cover Toto’s classic “Africa”. In a bit of genius trolling last week, the Rivers Cuomo-led outfit acknowledged the #WeezerCoverAfrica fan campaign by releasing their take on Toto’s “Rosanna” instead.
Today, however, sees Weezer finally blessing the rains down in Africa: At long last, the indie rockers have shared their official rendition of the 1982 hit single. Listen to the anthemic cover below via YouTube. It’s also available to stream/download on a bunch of other platforms.
