I like the song "Africa" by Toto, but

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

Is a real misfire of a last line there

Like, you're comparing a tall mountain to a tall mountain

And they didn't even use Denali.

It's also kind of weird because Kilimanjaro is significantly taller than Olympus, too

Imipolex G · 2017-05-16 01:30:31

Olympus is more than just a mountain

Oh Africa, Brave Africa was a laugh riot.

yeah, i kinda read the line as "this regular mountain feels like this thing from myth and legend (which is also a real mountain in the world)"

That is what it means, it's just kinda awkward and tryhard?

Imipolex G · 2017-05-16 03:33:48

The line is slightly awkward but honestly who cares that much

If I cannot explain about extremely minor irritations in life, then we are no longer a free country

Imipolex G · 2017-05-16 03:45:13

I'm sorry but I hate your freedom, it's nothing personal
