Weird Al Yankovic joins Weezer on accordion for their cover of Toto's 'Africa': Watch
After caving in to a viral online campaign earlier this May, Weezer's cover of Toto's 1982 hit 'Africa' has suddenly become their biggest hit in over a decade.
Earlier this May, the music world experienced first hand the strange benevolent power of the internet in bringing memes to life. After a viral campaign on Twitter by a super-fan that relentlessly requested Weezer to cover Toto's 1982 classic hit 'Africa', Weezer finally caved in and obliged. The LA-based alt-rockers' kitschy cover was always built to be an immediate viral sensation, and that’s exactly what it was. It kicked up a storm on the internet, starting a whole saga as the track quickly climbed the charts to become Weezer's biggest hit in years!
