Weezer's Cover of Toto's 'Africa' Makes it Onto Vinyl

Updated: Jun 1, 2020


As an exclusive to Urban Outfitters, the extremely popular cover of "Africa" (that song you've always nearly just gotten out of your head) by Weezer is being printed on vinyl.

The story goes like this, a crazed teenage Weezer fan called Mary from Ohio issued a long standing viral campaign for the band to cover the song "Africa". And her dream came true when the band obliged. Weezer are well known for their renditions of different old pop songs, however nothing prepared them for just how popular this particular cover would be. They dedicated the cover to Mary and it quickly because one of the biggest hits that Weezer have done in years.

The vinyl itself will be a 7"classic retailing at £9.98 in a stunning lime green. Mary had this to say on her twitter: "@RiversCuomo it’s about time you bless the rains down in africa.".
