I left my brains down in Africa

@fifthhorseman - OK, although that looks too close to the real lyric.

I always heard it as "I blessed the rains down in Africa"

@Kluuz93 - Oh come on, don't ruin it for everyone else. I think it sounds more like "I guess it rains down in Africa", but still...

Marcus Jul 01, 2015 12:49 pm

This doesn't sound anything like it. You can clearly hear the "es" at the end of the second word. So there's no way it could be left.

Kluuz93 Jun 29, 2015 5:55 pm

I swear it was "I left the brains down in Africa" Too!

Sounds like it's those damn saharan zombies at it again...

I always thought it was "I felt the rains down in Africa"

And yeah, I always thought it was "I miss the rains down in Africa" as well:)

Here's a pretty funny misheard lyric of this song I saw on facebook :)https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150668980535883&set=a.65482610882.102717.754010882&type=1&theater

For some reason I always thought "I get deranged down in Africa"

willallen25 Jan 11, 2012 11:27 pm

I heard "rises like a lepress above the Serengeti" as well.

carburetorlighthouse Dec 01, 2011 12:14 pm

It is "a hundred men or more". That misheard lyric is on here also.

skinner May 21, 2010 9:37 am

I too thought it said the hundred men on Mars!!! Haha! What DOES it say if it doesn't say that?! Haha!

powell647 May 20, 2010 9:11 am

I always thought the line before this said "there's nothin' that a hundred men on Mars could ever do. LMAO!!!!

skinner Mar 07, 2010 9:53 am

I thought it says "I'll catch some rays, down in Africa.

skinner Mar 07, 2010 9:49 am

I thought it said..."I cast the rains down, in Africa"

trixmix Jan 30, 2010 6:48 am

Wow I am just like you guys, "I miss the rains down in Africa."

JMonkey Apr 20, 2009 11:29 am

Hmmm...always thought it was "I miss the rains down in Africa" too. Learned my something new for the day :)

tayter6375 Apr 05, 2009 5:51 pm

I also heard "I miss the rains down in Africa." I guess missing rain makes more sense to me than blessing rain?

Kryptoncat Feb 08, 2009 1:47 pm

I heard it the same way and it used to scare the crap out of me because I was only like 5 at the time and the idea of someone leaving their brains somewhere was creepy.

rose79 Aug 19, 2008 10:24 pm

I heard "I guess it rains down in Africa." But even better my wife heard "Rises like a leperess above the Serengeti".
