Africa, Hold the Line and Rosanna. Brilliant.
The Weezer one is a bit safe for me which is a shame. I like the band, but they've bought very little new to the party. For a pub covers band that's almost excusable, but for people who do this for a living it might have been more interesting to add their personailities a little more. Not bad though.
I still think this is one of the best versions out there:

I like the song and love Weezer but it seems a bit of a pointless cover. If you think about the chorus it's very much the 4 chord 4 bar trick so loved today by Ed Sheeran and the like these days ... I think that's why the younger gen take to it

Yeah, the lyrics are stupid. But who cares. It's catchy as hell, super memorable, really well-made (the production has not dated at all on it) and Lukather has to keep it in his pants for a song.
(I jest, I love Luke, but an 80s track without a screaming guitar solo is a little bit of a rarity...)
Anyway, yeah, Weezer's take is pretty much right down the middle but they've probably made more money off this alone than they have in the last 10 years... and it's raising Toto's profile...
Check out this sweet walk-on-walk-off keyboard solo from Steve Porcaro...
I quite like the chug-metal version of it posted here as well, although the bloke in the video is an irritating tool.
