Was produced by a YouTube musician doing a sponsored commercial thing for Ernie Ball basses.
The two dudes in the pizza shop are a worthy honorable mention and easily beat that Weezer abomination from a few years ago, but this one has everything:  AFRICA (Toto) - Cover by Jonathan Young, Caleb Hyles & RichaadEB Solid groove, great bass line with nice fills, a quality guitar solo, and near elite vocal range... |

The version in the OP is a hot mess of steamy dog crap
 It's always been one of my top 5 favorite songs and I don't think I've heard a cover yet that's done it justice.I actually didn't mind the Weezer version, mainly because I'm a huge Weird Al fan...lol This has still got to me my favorite remix of it.   Failed To Load Title |

I liked OPs cover more than weezers… but weezers is pretty damn good too. Neither is better than the original.
Cool cover. Nice vocals. Different energy than the original. I still like the original better. Not sure I like it more than weezers… but I’m not huge into metal. |

The original hooked me with the deep four part harmony that just rang.
This was a good cover but didn't deliver for me on what I see as the core. It was a great sauce, but I didn't get much steak. |

In thinking about this further, I think the last great cover Leo did, at least that I've heard, was probably his cover of Careless Whisper in January of 2018.
