15 Terrible Lyrics In Popular Songs

9. Toto - Africa

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTQbiNvZqaY "Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti." Now, of course, the most obvious thing that's wrong with this lyric is that Kilimanjaro doesn't rise above the Serengeti. If you are up very high while on the Serengeti, you may be able to catch a glimpse of Kilimanjaro. Maybe. You'd have to really want it. But there's a chance this lyric could be read another way. It could be saying that Olympus is the mountain above the Serengeti. Which is also completely incorrect, given that Olympus is in Greece, but the point is that Toto might have been wrong in a more interesting way than we first supposed.
