So much for blessing the rains down in Africa

[Walden Ponderer 12,639]

Toto Forever is an art installation in the middle of the desert. Solar powered. Playing Toto's 'Africa'. Over... and over... and over.

 

Toto's "Africa" plays on repeat in the middle of the Namib Desert... indefinitely

Namibian-German artist Max Siedentopf created "Toto Forever," an installation that plays the song "Africa" on repeat in the middle of southern Africa's Namib Desert. From the BBC News:

Quote

Mr Siedentopf tells the BBC it is set to play forever, with solar batteries "to keep Toto going for all eternity..."

" wanted to pay the song the ultimate homage and physically exhibit 'Africa' in Africa," explains the 27-year-old artist.

"Some [Namibians] love it and some say it's probably the worst sound installation ever. I think that's a great compliment."

Seems to me Sting's "Desert Rose" would be a better choice, given the setting. Toto is more of a sub-Saharan kind of band.

Don't worry, it won't last 3 weeks in that environment.

They should build an interrogation camp around it.

Rosanna is still one of my very favorite songs

Love Africa, and I guess it’ll play in the desert for a few years...

Talk about getting sand in your vag.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13,515]

How about a similar setup playing Rosanna on an endless loop in front of Rosanna Arquette's house?

I think Schmit performed on "I Won't Hold You Back" and "Africa".
