Since reuniting in the early ’00s, Weezer has been uncommonly prolific for a ’90s alternative band, releasing nine albums with a tenth, yet another self-titled album, on the way. And while many of the band’s new singles have found airplay on alternative rock stations, few have had the impact of their cover of Toto’s schlock-rock classic “Africa.” Weezer covered the song in response to a social media campaign from their fans, and they must be glad they did: The cover became their first number one alternative hit in a decade (the last one was “Pork and Beans”). This month Toto tried to cash in on the viral exposure, recording an in-kind cover of Weezer’s “Hash Pipe.”
