Finnish musician / producer Otu, who works under the banner Moonic Productions, has shared his take on what would happen if System Of A Down wrote the Toto hit, "Africa". Check it out below, get the full version via Otu's Patreon page here.
Professor Of Rock recently released the video below, along with the following introduction...
"It’s the age-old tale: Toto didn’t think much of their song, 'Africa', and it became a huge hit. But this one is totally nuts because it was written on a $16,000 instrument that only three people in the world could actually play, and it was written about a place the singer had never been. And it has become the ultimate pop culture punchline. Africa came from flipping through National Geographic and it almost didn’t make the album. To make matters worse, the lead singer had a tough time pronouncing the words of the chorus, and on the recording half of the singers sang the wrong lyrics. So you actually have two different lyrics being sung. Get the real story straight from Toto, next on Professor of Rock."
