A Clever Map That Highlights Every Country Mentioned in There I Ruined It’s Toto ‘Africa’ Cover

Cartographer Samuel Hoskins took There I Ruined It’s cover of Toto’s “Africa“, which changed the lyrics to list every country in the continent, and added a map to highlight each country as it was sung.

It’s the version of Toto’s “Africa” by There I Ruined It, which lists off the continent’s 54 countries… but now with a map that highlights each country as its name is sung! I hope this will serve you well for that social studies test that looms in a week.

The Australia-based Hoskins also animates plate tectonics on his YouTube channel, including how the continents could one day merge into the supercontinent Pangea Proxima.
