I'm not sure what all the complaining is about, but I found myself disappointed that this beautiful, sad song, by an absolute legend, ended too soon.
It is repetitive, but man it rocks. I could listen to it for another 4 minutes.

The song started, I listened for 5 min. Got bored hearing "Mama Africa, Mama Africa..." repeated a go-zillion times. Went to get a cup of coffee. Came back to the office. This song is STILL playing! And guess what? The singer is still singing "Mama Africa!"

Peter the Great

GOOD GOD DOES THIS SONG HAVE AN ENDING?!

The only good thing about this tune is that it (finally) had an ending.
Now where is my reefer?
irie irie.....
Mama...make it stop...Mama...Mama...make it stop...Mama...Mama...make it stop...Mama...Mama...make it stop...Mama...Mama...make it stop...Mama...Mama...make it stop...Mama...Mama...make it stop...Mama...
This song is near and dear to me in that I saw Tosh tour this album. I'll never forget. I was up in the nose bleed section at the Santa Barbara County Bowl, and they opened with this song. Peter bopped onstage smoking a spliff that musta been half as long as he was tall! Could see it clearly from the very top rows.
Now where's that spliff smoking smiley when I need it?
Three or four minutes I could enjoy this...
After 6 it sent me scrambling for the LRC.
I can understand that ppl think this goes on too long, though. There's a shorter 7" version on the Mama Africa album. clarklupe wrote:

True.. it is almost 10 minutes long. Nice tune.. but is too much!

Okay, at first I thought you might be overly harsh and "unenlightened" because this is the first time I had heard this song and I like much of Tosh's work, but now that it's reached its end (finally) I have to admit you were correct in your assessment.
Nice sentiment, decent tune, unbelievably simplistic lyrics.
