Do you bless the rains down in Africa?

@iMystery Who's he? A member of Toto? The name sounds too English for them, they're an American band, aren't they?

@KENZtheFRENZ Johhny Clegg WROTE that song "I bless the rains down in Africa"... he's a freaking African music legend!

Google it and you will see for yourself.

@KENZtheFRENZ Actually the song is called December African Rain, but the lyrics in the chorus is "I bless the rains down in Africa".

@iMystery Did Johnny nick that from Toto, or did Toto nick it from him? The Toto song came out in April 1982, I've just checked that on Google.

@KENZtheFRENZ They actually did it together!...

No wait I'm thinking of someone else.. hold on

@iMystery Are you sure? That's weird.

@KENZtheFRENZ No wait I'm thinking of someone else.. hold on

@KENZtheFRENZ Sorry I was thinking of another song Johnny Clegg did together with a guy named Savuka - The Crossing.

So there is a chance Johnny may have "nicked" it from Toto 😄

@iMystery When did that one come out?

@KENZtheFRENZ I think it may have been around 1992... it was a tribute to one of their friends who was a member of a band they prevously belonged to.

@iMystery That's 10 years after the Toto song. I was only a toddler in 1992, I wasn't even thought of in 1982. My mum was in school in 1982. Lol :)

@KENZtheFRENZ I was born in 1982... I was about 10 years old when that song came out. And I actually almost cried!!

@iMystery I was born in 1990. I haven't heard the Johnny Clegg song. I've heard the Toto one loads of times. It's on the pub jukebox, it still gets played on the radio and my bf has the CD with it on.

@KENZtheFRENZ Try to listen to the Johhny Clegg song too when you get the chance.

@iMystery I don't know if it's on the pub jukebox. I don't personally know anyone who has it in their collection and I haven't heard it on the radio.

@KENZtheFRENZ Lol its on YouTube

@iMystery Maybe it is at the moment, but who's to say it'll still be there in half an hour? One video of Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman" has been removed, I had to search for another video of that. I don't trust YouTube, they've done that too many times and pissed a lot of my friends off in the process.

@KENZtheFRENZ Lol trust me it has been there for a very long time and it doesnt seem like its going anywhere any time soon lol

@iMystery OK, maybe it won't get removed. But lots of other songs have been. Why do they remove them?

@KENZtheFRENZ Honestly I have no idea

@iMystery The common belief it that they do it on purpose to be as inconvenient as they can to people.
