There’s No Need to Miss It
Toto’s Africa is one of those songs you might not know every word to, but hearing those first seven notes that open the song has you riding a nostalgia wave and ready to sing along anyway. The most popular mondegreen attached to the piece is “I miss(ed) the rains down in Africa.”
If you haven’t been to the continent or taken a quick gander at Google, you might really think they missed the rains in Africa because most outsiders assume it’s a dry place. However, the truth is that they have two rainy seasons in some areas, with much of the continent fluctuating between dry periods and heavy rain.
