the only thing wrong with toto’s africa is nothing haha it’s perfect
just kidding someone mentioned to me that the line ‘sure as kilimanjaro rises like olympus above the serengeti’ is literally just saying ‘the mountain is like this other mountain’ and it’s the worst similie in existence and i can’t stop thinking about it please help
i want to make it clear that toto’s africa remains both my favorite song and the best song in existence, but this is it’s one (1) flaw. perhaps it is only because we are not allowed to gaze on mortal-made perfection, but the fact is that you can’t just be like ‘this mountain is like this other mountain’ and expect it to not grind my gears
