Africa [8 Bit Tribute to Toto] - 8 Bit Universe 

amazing. i love this.

That high part that goes "IIIII Blessed the rains" is the best thing ever

Pick your stage: Europe Asia Africa

Press A to bless the rains.

Y'know, this would sound great in a Volvo.

Wow, I never thought this song can sound even more 80s.

Africa (cc) 1980 (insert company name here) Hurry player it's waiting for you = press start =

when u beat the boss of the hardest video game you have ever played

I bless the pixels down in Africa.

*Africa the videogame* PRESS START Controls: A: Throw spear B: Ignition lamp Left & Right: Move Up: Jump Down: Duck Select: Bless the rains Start: Pause X: Do the things you never had

This sounds like it would be the perfect credits roll song for an old school NES game. I'm not alone in this, am I?

Sing it with me guys! Verse 1: *doo doodoo doodoo do dooooooo ×4* I hear the drums echoing tonight, but she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation. She's coming in 12:30 flight! The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation. I stopped an old man along the way, hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies. He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you!" Chorus: It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you! There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do! I bless the rains down in Africa! Gonna take some time to do the things we never have! Verse 2: doo doodoo doodoo do doooooo ×2* The wild dogs cry out in the night, as they grow restless longing for some solitary company. I know that I must do what's right, as sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti. I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become! Chorus: It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you. There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do! I bless the rains down in Africa! Gonna take some time to do the things we never have! Verse 2 1/2 (mostly instrumental) doo doodoo doodoo do dooooooo ×2* *Epic flute solo* Hurry voy, she's waiting there for you! Chorus: It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you! There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do! I bless the rains down in Africa! I bless the rains down in Africa! I bless the rains down in Africa! I bless the rains down in Africa! I bless the rains down in Africa! Gonna take some time to do the things we never have! End. Notes: the part where it says, "I bless the rains down in Africa!" five times is intentional. Those are the whole lyrics to Africa by Toto. Cost: Free but if you want to like, feel free to! ;)

We're not in Africa anymore Toto..

I HEAR THE DRUMS ECHOING TONIGHT

2:56 ... Wow

This feels weirdly melancholy and bittersweet yet uplifting. What the fuck. It's awesome obviously but damn I didn't think an 8bit cover would make me cry then smile and then cry again wtf

Randomly throws a pixelated vase at the wall

From that one NES game that doesn't loop the same 15 seconds of music

This actually sounds really cool in 8 bit

I just watched a guy set the door chime in his Volvo 240 to play this when his doors are open with the key in the ignition 😂

I need to get this as a ring tone.

ITS GONNA TAKE A LOT TO DRAG ME AWAY FROM YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU edit: added more U's

Title: Africa Developed by: TOTO Published by: Nintendo and Konami Platform: NES/Famicom Year: 1989.

This plays during a scrolling level that has an optional side objective where you have to protect the wild animals that are traveling with you. Bring them to the end of the level with you, and you have unlock the ability to summon them as a special attack.

kinda wish an old school game based on this song could be made, going through the African plains and the only way to kill enemies is to bless the rains and make it wash them away xD

Can someone please help me. I left the brain down in Africa.

Lyrics : Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tuuuu Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tuuuu Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tuuuu Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tuuuu Tu tu tu tu tu tu, tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu Tu tu tu tu tu tu, tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tuuuu Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tuuuu Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tuuuu tu tu

Searching for covers of 'Africa' is one of my favourite things to do on the internet. I am pleased to have stumbled upon this one. Pats on the back all around!

This song is amazing. Hands down

Why am I smiling.

this song makes me feel like I'm having a existential crisis

Brian : vomits in africa

Jezus holy christ. For how long have you been doing this? I really needed this in my life. You're a machine not human! Keep up the good work! Props.

Yay I was hoping this would exist some day

Funny, this song is from the 80’s. Where 8 bit reigned supreme

immediately searches a good meme, comes out even more appreciative of life.

the greatest song ever created

beautiful 8-bit runrise

When you go on a gravel road in your Subaru Outback

There is a genius behind this that can only be explained in ancient texts, written by the lowly peasants who weren't worthy enough to stare upon the faces of the gods.

Next Vid....TOTO HOLD THE LINE

"IT'S GONNA TAKE YOU A LOT TO DRAG ME AWAAAAAAYYY FROM YOUUUU!"

Whoever is behind these amazing 8 bit creations is seriously talented and should be very proud

*Song so good, had to name a continent after it*

You should do A-ha- Take on Me

The "Toto Africa game" Mission: Burn the library with books and shit. (you'll get it if you watched the music video)

This video is so emotional. I'm holding back tears.

Summer ending in 10 minutes, and I'm sitting and listening to this and belive that a new summer will come soonly.....

You should totally do Hold the Line by Toto now! This was epic!

Down under from Men at Work?

The Adventures of Bayou Billy II: Rains of Africa [PRESS START]

THE DOGGOS ARE BORKING IN THE NIGHT

One of the greatest songs ever made.

Damn what the heck how does this channel make the songs that I've been listening to lately

AFRICA Come to your local game store near you! Disclamier: Does not come with real elephants

I can't be the only person who sang along to this with great emotion.

I remembered when I requested this song to you. Thanks man!

*Cries in 8-bit*

I'm crying, you don't know how much I really love this song. You're channel needs to be known around the world. I love it here 💖

I am obsessed with the 80s and this makes me love them even more

Oooh I member!!!!

I can't believe how perfect this is

Africa-Toto ➡Play Settings Credits Levels

Lion King game vibes! All your stuff is amazing!

Not gunna lie, the main singing part sounds like a kazoo

this is beautiful i nearly dropped a god damn tear

This sounds like it would be in a NES game about hunting big game in Africa

you even put in that subtle bass roll at the end. superb!

Loving this, can you do "You Spin me round (like a record)" by Dead or Alive? (In case you do requests of course) good stuff! EDIT: nevermind, i found it and its everything i wanted and more, sorry!

Some guy just set his Volvo's door chime to this.

I wouldn't have believed 8-bit music could be so rich and full.

I love this 8 bit version song so much because I listen to this when I make my art and it helps me visualize an animation in my head to where I think of new ideas. I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't of found this song to make my art!

Hey, I remember this song. I hear it on the radio so many times.

This would probably make for one of the best arcade game soundtracks ever! Someone should include it in their game.

A marvellous piece of art, love it

This is perfect for my birthday this year!

YESSSS!!! I physically jumped to get to this there xD

Who came here after watching the Volvo 240 that has this as the open door chime?

To the person who created this wonderful piece of 8 bit mastery. You are an angel amongst the darkness. Kudos to you and may you always have that light around your soul.

Holy crap, this channel is really good. Liked and subscribed!

You've rekindled my love for toto. Bless you.

All rise for the African continental anthem...

This makes this 42 year old happy in ways I can't even explain.

I love 8-bit stuff. First video from you and I'm already subbed.

This is a wonderful custom door chime.

Sensacional! Parabéns, ótimo cover em 8 bits!!!

Your crowning achievement.This song was made to be rendered in 8 bit glory. Cudos!

A song so damn good they named a continent after it

1:16 - 1:38 My favorite part. I like this song, because this part - fantastic. I am not alone?

I hear the AC humming in the night Glow of amber screens providing my illumination User uploads are a lovely sight The modem lights reflect the constant flow of information I feel connected to the world, thinking about some distant paradise or fading memory I try to filter out the new - sneakernet is faster than you knew! It’s gonna take a while to roll this .tar for me There’s nothing like a hundred megabytes of mp3 I bless the raid and my DLT it's gonna take some time to save the songs I never heard [1:43] Someone is always paging for SYSOP, i'm glad to keep them company while they upload the good stuff Bandwidth like this don't come for free, But its a nightly side gig my workplace would never notice, they've got enough By the way i'm doing all my tasks, this job is working good for me It’s gonna take a while to roll this .tar for me There’s nothing like a thousand megabytes of mp3 I bless the raid and my DLT It's gonna take some time to save the songs I never heard [solo] sneakernet is faster than you knew... It’s gonna take a while to roll this .tar for me There’s nothing like a thousand megabytes of mp3 I bless the raid and my DLT I bless the raid and my DLT I bless the raid and my DLT it's gonna take some time to save the songs I never heard....

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful!

This song is always great. It sounds really cool even this way

I love this version of that song! It reminds me my childhood and playing on Pegasus with my friend and somehow brings just...lots of nostalgia. A real proof that 8 bit version of a song can sound as good as oryginal if not better at some point :D

Great job!

Each one of these tunes could make a video game or level for a rock n roll 8 bit multiplayer online world.

Love this song keep up the good work Mr.Universe

Im in love with this channel now

I love this song❤

I had no idea you were this cool, great job man keep it up.

This hits me in all the right feels
