2018 was a big year for Toto's 1982 hit "Africa" when the tune got an update courtesy of the boys in Weezer. Next up: a cover of the tune using some vegetables to kick off the new year of 2019.

That's what YouTuber Pupsi has done, posting a video that shows him cutting up some sweet potatoes and a squash and then using them to play "Africa." The music he makes with them is pretty darn incredible. One note: Pupsi calls the squash a "pumpkin" in the title of the video but clarifies in a comment, "I should have called it a squash xD. In Finnish all squash are just 'pumpkins.'"

Whatever you call the veggies he uses, it's pretty stellar stuff. And probably delicious, once baked at 350 degrees for 25 minutes with some salt and seasoning.
