I always thought TOTO was an Aussie band because they look so ugly and clueless but no, I just looked it up and they are Americans :/

Olympus does not rise above the Serengeti Kilimanjaro does not rise above the Serengeti The lyric is a statement of positive certainty

I know this thread has been trying to make sense of this song in really stupid ways, but I just saw someone talking in earnest about how it’s about a guy who went to Africa to cure his lycanthropy. That’s on par with the lengthy comment I once saw talking about how Baker Street is the story of a guy getting abducted by aliens.

It's legally "bless the rains" and all of you saying otherwise should report yourselves to the cops

I heard the guy from dire straits was in a department store that was playing MTV, and a couple of dudes who worked there were actually saying all that poo poo, and he could tell it was gold, and wrote down as much as he could, then arranged the result into the lyrics that's why there's all those weird lines about custom installing microwave ovens and "we got to move these refrigerators" it's literally the words of some schlubs working at Sears or something enviously watching some mid-80's glam rock and going "I should've learned to play the guitar... that ain't workin. that's the way you do it: you play the guitar on the mtv"

its about how the africans are unable to govern themselves and need the colonialist rule of the west to manage their society

The "I want my MTV" line was improvised by Sting but almost the entire rest of lyrics are taken straight up from two blue collar dudes slinging appliances for some major department store.

As with all music, the lyrics only exist to try and trick you into listening to a song more than once. Do not fall for their lies.

I read a sci-fi book once, possibly titled Space Ivory or something, set in the future where I think there was some sort of curse on some dude who had to return the ivory from the kilamanjaro elephant to break the curse. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

its tusks were so long it was said to leave twin furrows in the ground wherever it walked. elephants are beautiful creatures very wise and gentle.

quote:In WMD 'karamojo' Bell's 1923 book 'The Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter' he mentions a tusk in the 'South Kensington Museum'. About ten years later it was later reunited with its twin, and there hangs a tale. im trying to find out how big or old an elephant would be if its tusks were 3 meters long bu all i got is it would be real big and real old
