Is this line, from [[Toto]]’s monster 1981 hit, ''[[Africa]]'', the ''worst'' lyric in all of rock ’n’ roll history? Or is it the ''best''? It has, after all, an [[Ed Wood]]esque quality to it: it is so bad it’s good. No mere mortal could massacre the principles of metre, cadence and basic common sense as systematically as this. | Is this line, from [[Toto]]’s monster 1981 hit, ''[[Africa]]'', the ''worst'' lyric in all of rock ’n’ roll history?
