Holy poo poo, the lead singer of Toto is John Williams' son, the singing voice of adult Simba, and sang the Gummy Bears cartoon theme song? I spent so much time hating him and goddamn Africa when it could have just balanced out to 'meh, cool'

Gummi Bears song legit kicks rear end as does The Lion King and I'm as surprised to learn all this as you are.

I didn't really have a strong opinion about Africa though

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Unrelated to my previous post, I saw Sam Hyde in Providence on my way home from work today. I fangirl screamed out the window at him even though I didn't really care for his racist skits on World Peace. He dresses exactly as stupidly in real life as he does in his videos and he also looked like he's on roids.

Rivers Cuomo basically can't sing with any emotion at all, and the rest of it is just played identical to the original, so I'm not even sure why the did it in the first place, much less why people are so worked up about it.
