A Very Credible Take On Toto’s “Africa” by Two Guys in a Pizza Joint

if “Africa” by Toto isn’t the “Bohemian Rhapsody” of the 80’s, it’s among a short list of finalists. Like the Outfield’s “Your Love” and, of course, “Don’t Stop Believin'” its appeal is timeless, its cover versions endless.
These two guys do a better job than you might expect from two guys in shorts at a pizza parlour. Respect!
