Music is a great way of mind "Time Travel"... For example, I remember hanging out @ Jones beach, Long Island, NY while listening to the Toto-Africa song on July 4th, 1989... Also the month/year of my favorite Playboy magazine edition... No internet back then.
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" 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 had (ooh, ooh) 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 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 had (ooh, ooh) Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you 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 rain) I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa (ah, gonna take the time) Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
North Korea, China, and Russia just launched 20,000 nukes. The sun just exploded. Hordes of zombies outside. I have this blasting away and all is good in the world. Shit my headphones just went out. Now shit just got real.

Its like the theme of the cartoon version of the 80's movie every one liked. Like in the 80's they always did a cartoon of the movie no matter how inappropriate this is that.
