"Africa," But This Time It's Really Africa!

There are 54 countries in Africa (plus three disputed territories), more than any other continent. You can try memorizing them by studying a map and then picturing the map while you recite them, but that hasn't worked for me because I always miss a few. I'd probably do much better by listening to a pleasant song that recites them in rhyme. I was too old to benefit much from "Yakko's World" (which is now outdated), but now such a song for Africa is finally here. 

Dustin Ballard of There I Ruined It (previously at Neatorama) constructed a song to the tune of the 1982 hit "Africa" by Toto with lyrics that name every country on that continent. Yes, they rhyme wherever they can, and the visuals help with a bit of context. Far from ruining it, this song actually improves on the infinitely catchy original by having something to do with Africa.
