B.Y.O.B. (song) "B.Y.O.B." ("Bring Your Own Bombs") is a song by Armenian-American alternative metal band System of a Down. It was released in March 2005 as the lead single from their fourth album Mezmerize. Like their earlier song "Boom!", it was written in protest against the Iraq War.[2] The song reached number 27 on the US Billboard Hot 100, the band's highest peak to date on the chart.
Africa (Toto song) In 2015, Paich explained that the song is about a man's love of a continent, Africa, rather than just a personal romance.[8] In 2018, Paich explained the song is about a person flying in to meet a lonely missionary.[9] As a child, Paich attended a Catholic school. Several of the teachers had done missionary work in Africa, and this became the inspiration behind the line "I bless the rains down in Africa."[9]
