    Lyrics:
    Well I'm walking in my sleep
    Well I'm talking baby can't you see
    Well all we need is a simple song
    For people that wanna dance
    All we need is a simple song
    So people let me hear you say
    Na na na na na
    It's not your situation
    I just need contemplation over you
    I'm not so systematic
    It's just that I'm an addict for your love

Africa is just alright....mainly cuz it's different. I think it just drove us all mad and there's no recovering from the pop culture beatdown we got with it....and still get.

    Been trying to figure out WHY this song is so perfect. Is it the melancholic vibe? The groove, the interesting chord progression? The vocal performance? The engineering? The guitar solo? The arrangement? The lyrics? I think the fact that those are all contenders is what makes it so good. Every aspect is spot on.

      its a perfectly executed and perfectly written song by the masters who played on all your favorite songs of the 70's and 80's. I think the real cherry on top though is that crescendo that happens at the end of the first chorus and the end of the song with that perfectly executed bass drum that you NEED to hear.

      Eric Ben'et did a version in 1999, with Faith Evans on the chorus. Almost 20yrs after the original. His was a little more RnB with a heavier bass kick. More house party vibe. I like both the original and the remake. That piano in the original is killer though. We have to steer the younger generation toward old school music. So they know that a lot of today's artists sample from the classics. My kids range in age from 25 to 12. I expose them to the classics, 60's, 70's, 80's on through the 90's.

    I'm a fan of Toto's music, but how did I not know they sang this song? I recall hearing it during my college years, and guess I forgot it was by them. I totally dropped the ball on this one! 😳

      I feel the same way! I even saw them in concert a few years ago and they didn't play this song. It would've blown my mind lol

    I'm just 16 years old, in the past I'm K-POP fan turned into 70s & 80s enthusiast, I loved to listen this song, specially TOTO band is one of my favorite, and Jeff Porcaro is such an amazing drummer, Steve Lukather so much loved her voice

    Hard rock one minute and smooth R&B the next. That's Toto's versatility for you.
