Is Africa by Toto actually a good song?

The lyrics are pretty much will nonsense when you pay attention .[media=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mk5Dwg5zm2U]

WTF does any of it have to with rain or Africa?

I like it. I bet a lot of popular songs have nonsense lyrics, who cares about the lyrics. Isn't this an allegory or something. Next you're going to tell me Cocaine is actually about drugs.

@TamAngel I looked it up last night after this post.
Apparently it was written while notes one night and as a fill track. It's meant to be about a white kid who has only seen Africa on TV and wants to go there and is talking to a returning missionary. The band says it's a really dumb song they never meant to release.
