John “Disco Deaky” Deacon wrote one of Queen’s biggest hits, the disco inspired “Another One Bites The Dust”. Now lets take the time to appreciate the original: “Another One Bites The Dust” – Queen (1980) Toto continue to write and release songs even to this decade. It’s easily Toto’s most popular and commercially successful song. It topped the charts in the US in February 1983 and made it to #3 across the pond in the UK. “Africa” is about a boy’s fascination with the continent as an outsider who has only seen it through the lens of the media.

This song was released in 1982 and was on the album, Toto IV. Toto formed in 1976 in LA and their sound mixes a lot of different influences from rock to jazz to soul. Now that’s a way to make learning Irish interesting! 😃🇮🇪 One version from last year that caught my attention was this Irish version.

I could go on and on all day about memes based on this song, so just go on the subreddit and see for yourself. People recording their own version of “Africa” became such a big thing that there was a subreddit dedicated to it and the song really took off in Google search interest last year. A few years later, Angel City Chorale recorded their own version of it. According to KnowYourMeme, in 2010, YouTuber Mike Massé uploaded an acoustic cover of the song that went viral, getting millions of views. In season one of Stranger Things, this song is playing in the background while Nancy and Steve make out.Įven before 2016, some people recognised the greatness of this song. In South Park the Memberberries were singing this song at the White House and listening to this song in the car.

Why the comeback of everyone’s favourite 80s soft rock song? TV shows. If anyone wants to send me a copy, be my guest! 😉 The picture disc was recently rereleased, looking just like it did back in 1982, with the old country names like Zaire, Rhodesia, and Southwest Africa and all, and I sadly couldn’t get my hands on it. When it comes to physical copies, the shaped picture disc with a map of Africa with Africa superimposed in red letters and Toto superimposed in yellow letters, it’s pretty epic. It sounds perfect and I can’t explain why. It’s one of my favourite songs of all time. If we’re thinking in classic rock terms, You can say that “Clapton is God” graffiti was a meme.Ĭlassic Rock Memes: “Africa” – Toto (1982) Some of the earliest memes of recent history include: “Kilroy Was Here” from WWII, “Frodo Lives” graffiti from the 70s, The “Obey” logo, and that S thing we used to draw in primary school. However, the word, meme, was coined by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book, The Selfish Gene, as an attempt to explain away cultural information spreads. The article this definition comes from is from 2003, back when Spongebob was at its peak. According to USA Today, a meme is a concept, catchphrase, or byword that spreads from person to person. Memes have been around as long as people have had a sense of humour. Memes aren’t something millennials came up with.

Remember, if you see a video with these songs, please refrain from commenting “I knew this song before it was a meme”. I think it’s great that these songs have been revived for a fresh, new, young audience. In this post we’ll be exploring the songs of yesteryear that are memes today:

Just recently, “ Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac has returned to the charts thanks to a meme on Twitter. How could I not? SpongeBob is amazing and was a huge influence on meme culture. As much as I liked to call myself a classic rock purist, I wasn’t really one. Many of these were mixed with pop culture references from the noughties like Mean Girls and Spongebob. It was a fun way to pass the time and make myself laugh.
