Ah. A classic song. I had a friend from Kenya whilst I was at university. We regularly went to the local pub, The Brunswick in Leamington Spa, played pool and darts and put tunes on the jukebox. He always put on Africa and always had to stop what he was doing when the song came on as it made him think of home.
Those were the days. Sadly, the Brunswick no longer exists.
As for my favourite Crowded House song.... Hmmm... Tough one that. Probably "Distant Sun" though some of those Split Enz hits are really up there too.... Six Months in a Leaky Boat for example.
Speaking of Crowded House/Split Enz, when I was over in Aus at Christmas, I picked up a "Best of Australia" CD in a record shop and saw that it had about ten songs from Crowded House, Split Enz, the Finn Brothers and Dragon. I think you'll find they're Kiwi Bands you crafty Aussies! (in the case of Crowded House, 2/3rds were Aussie, but the undoubted talent was from Te Awamutu, NZ - not Australia!!)
