This is a pretty cool story and trolling done right!

A Twitter account called Weezer Cover Africa by Toto (@weezerafrica) started pestering Weezer back in December to record the 1983 number-one hit and even got the song’s writer, David Paich, to post about it on Facebook. Here’s the cool party, the Twitter account was set up by a 14-year-old girl, Mary, from the Cleveland. Mary, is such a fan that she played Weezer songs in her School of Rock cover band.

Today (Thursday), Weezer released a Toto cover, but in the ultimate internet troll win, they didn’t cover “Africa”, they covered the other big hit from Toto 4, “Rosanna.”

Mary, showing what a cool kid she is, tweeted, “It’s not every day that you get trolled by Weezer.” Check out the cover here.
