    twitter - Text - David Hines @hradzka "gonna take a lot to drag me away from you/ there's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do" so why is the singer not with her now? This is my theory of Toto's "Africa:"

    twitter - Text - David Hines @hradzka in Toto's "Africa," why is the speaker in Africa in the first place? Answer: he is "hoping to find some long-forgotten words or ancient melodies." He is a student of the occult.

    twitter - Text - David Hines @hradzka Why has the singer of Toto's "Africa" gone to Africa, leaving his love, in order to hunt up obscure folklore? He tells you: "I seek to cure what's deep inside/ frightened of this thing that I've become." ie, he's a goddamn werewolf

    twitter - Text - CaughtHerEyes @Rkplayer251 Replying to @hradzka Normally drums and cheers echoing in the night, symbolise the drums of a hunting party. We're possibly coming into the story just after a fellow beast has been killed by a werewolf hunting party and hears them celebrating the kill
