  In an interview in the 90s, "Mr. Jambo", a retired English teacher from Johannesburg, said, "I simply did not want to talk to him. He seemed like a frivolous man."

  As a white guy living in an air conditioned house in America, this really makes me feel like I’m connecting with my roots.

  Fun fact: Kyle didn’t make the instrumentals and background vocals for this song, they inexplicably just start playing as soon as you enter Africas air space!

  This song really helps us whites understand the beauty that is the Country of Africa.

  I love the implication that Barry Bergen went up to this guy, asked him what his name was, and when he replied, “Jambo (hello),” Barry said, “His name is Mr. Jambo.”

  He did it. He saved Africa. Kyle is invited to the cookout.

  If you don't speak Zulu, Mr. Jambo is saying "I don't speak english, do you have a translator? Stop yelling."

  What's even funnier is he's calling him Mr. Jambo (which is the swahili word for Hello) all the while he is speaking Zulu. It's like calling an old russian guy Mr. Bonjour

  I still can't get over the fact that Mr. Jambo is reading an English newspaper while telling Kyle, that he doesn't speak English. 😂

  I know it's the whole point of the song, but the idea of this white man just willfully deciding that a stranger's words are actually some kind of sacred wisdom while it's just him telling him to go away is endlessly entertaining.

  hilarious how the song obsesses over the ancient wisdom hidden in the scrolls, when most african cultures and tribes often have more oral and visual than written history

  The best part of this is that Kyle went to Africa to film this, whereas Toto not only didn’t for their hit song “Africa”, but none of the band members had ever even been to the continent of Africa a single time in their lives, and their perception of it was solely based on their imagination and some clips from a documentary LOL

  Kyle may have just set a new record for highest production value in a parody music video.

  The ancient scrolls are my favorite thing from Africa. I can't wait to go to the British national museum and see them someday ❤

  No oddly specific musical microgenre is safe from this man

  In a 1991 interview, Paul Simon said passing on this song was his biggest career regret.

  I love that Mr. Jambo doesn’t need things like “money” or “possessions” to be happy. We could all learn a thing or two from him.

  It's funny, because there are no bears in Africa. In fact, when his publisher told the author of Paddington this that's exactly why he changed Paddington's home from "darkest Africa" to "darkest Peru"
