Tee hee! This is a great website! Toto's song "Africa" seems to prove a popular one for completely misunderstanding the lyrics...and heres another to add to the collection. I thought " I bless the rains down in Africa" was in fact - "I left my brains down in Africa!" The fact that I thought anyone was fortunate enough to have more than one is beyond me! My sister was and still is, the bright spark of the family (you could say "brain/brains" of the outfit)and thought it hilariously amusing to make me sing it in front of my family and only letting on afterwards, that the lyrics were in fact totally incorrect! Bye allx
