OK, so he was hollowing out vegetables in the basement and his mom walks in. “What are you doing with those?!”
Thinking quickly, he said, “Uh, I’m making them into musical instruments?”
“Sure, you are. Don’t make a mess.”

Enjoyable video up until 3:42 where he eats both of his feet

Oh good lord, Internet. Enough with"Toto’s Africa" already. It wasn’t that good a song to begin with. Let it scurry back beneath the Boulder of Anonymity. Please.

I was about to comment that I don’t understand why recently some people seem so obsessed with this song.

It has become a rogue meme. And a nasty one at that.

Does not include Toto’s in their performance:

Original works.
They feed the audience a soup after the concert made from the vegetable off-cuts during the building process. They make new instruments for each performance, and it takes 3 hours to make their instruments. The sound checks take a long time because the new instruments differ each time.
No! I say no to you! The song is brilliant. “Africa” was always a little camp, its modern memification only increases what was an original part of its charm, as sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.
Boing Boing, please stay on the cutting edge of Toto’s “Africa” news.
