My late husband, Jeff Porcaro, co-wrote AFRICA. I just shared your video with our three sons. We loved it! Thank you so much for posting this. Made me smile, laugh, and cry... Be safe on your journey. Susan

As a South African, that works, and has worked in the offshore industry for most my life, well done...

No matter where I am in the world, when I hear this song, I feel home, and can smell the fresh wet grass that has just had a afternoon thunder shower..

Great job gents.

The best six and a half minutes on youtube.

I seriously think this is the most underrated video on youtube. I could watch this every day and it would still make me smile. I think 2:40 is my favorite moment. Those guys are so into it and so awkward at the same time - they are totally committed. I love it. From the bridge to the galley and everyone in between - nice work!

33 yrs I sailed on OSV, AHTS and seismic boats .... Great JOB on this and I'm sure it was a good morale boost for the crew. Very well done !

Don't make me cry! I just retired from offshore works after 34 years... with the last 12 years in Africa. Thanks also for the song, better than YMCA

I was a Tidewater PSV captain (frack boat) for three years in Equatorial Guinea. This video was inspiring when I first saw it and now brings back so many great memories - great song, great maritime work, great location... memory lane! Thank you for making this video. It is my favorite YouTube video. Our managers wouldn't let us do this - our big loss! You have made a name for yourselves and your companies. Congratulations.

This video is so good. It is the best representation of all the camaraderie we have on board.

I am in the Oil and Gas industry for more than 15 years but I never thought something like this.
This is freacking awsome.

[MagnumoftheMountains]

3:54 that guy who fades in is SPOT ON! hahaha!

[bobdoyle]

Been offshore for about 15 years, this is one of the best I've seen for a while. There are loads of these kicking about on offshore vessels. First time on youtube though.

[MAGNETO-ii]

They fucking nailed every note, it's almost better than the original.

[KrzysztofFugiel]

I'm impressed as, an old oilman I congratulate the idea. It's thousands times better than boring Companies Official Videos. I will show it tomorrow to mu HSE Students at AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland.

[AlexandraBest]

This is actually the greatest thing ever

[dmbr]

This made my day, and I'll bet your family and friends back home especially loved it. What a positive reflection on your employers that you guys have such teamwork and camaraderie. To find joy no matter where you are or what your job is a wonderful gift.
