"I should hate this Weezer cover of Toto's Africa, but I don't"
Between the Twitter trolling by a fan, then Toto band members chiming in, to Weezer trolling said fan with a Roseanna cover, to actually covering Africa, to performing the song on Kimmel with a cameo from Steve freakin' Pocaro... I can't hate it.
Besides that, the cover kinda slaps for what it is

Haha - I get that they didn't want to do any disservice to the original, that's respectable ... but at the same time - why bother doing it at all if you're *not* going to update it ? Think there is one small difference once the hook kicks in ... little more lively. But other than that ... it's exactly the same.
