Africa...

A long while back, Rachael and I were hanging out with a large group of friends. We decided to play Musical Catchphrase. Basically, you try to get your team to guess the title of a song with hints or humming. This can be ridiculously funny.

We went around the room until it came to our friend Nicole. She was on my team. She looked at her answer and started humming. We started to zero in on the song. It sounded pretty familiar. When we guessed "The Land Down Under" by Men at Work, she said no. The timer was running out and she hummed louder and faster. When the buzzer went off, she was so disappointed in our inability to score the point. We all asked what was the answer?! She said, "Africa" by Toto. We then had to inform her that she had mixed up the two songs. Lots of laughter ensued. It was priceless. She has never lived it down!

Just to further the joke a bit more, some friends of mine and I recorded our own version of "Africa." Let me know what you think about it.

Enjoy,

Christopher

Recorded August, 2010. Kevin McClain played drums. He tours the country with a band named American Aquarium (www.AmericanAquarium.net) Ethan Ricks played bass. He tours the country with a band named Crowfield. (www.CrowfieldMusic.com) They are both ridiculously talented and stellar dudes. Both of have given so much of their gifts and free time to my music. I am thankful for both of them. Don't tell them I said that, though.
