“Are You Gonna Be My Girl” is a song by the Australian rock band Jet, featured on their 2003 album Get Born. It was the first single from the album, released in 2003 in Australia and the UK, and in 2004 in the United States. Written by Nic Cester & Cameron Muncey, the song is often cited for similarities to Iggy Pop’s “Lust for Life” (particularly its drum pattern and near-identical guitar riff).The band, however, argues that “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” has more in common with 60s’ Motown songs, namely “I’m Ready For Love” by Martha And The Vandellas and “You Can’t Hurry Love” by The Supremes.

“Africa” is a song by rock band Toto, and one of the band’s most recognizable songs. The initial idea for the song came from David Paich. Jeff Porcaro explains the idea behind the song: “… a white boy is trying to write a song on Africa, but since he’s never been there, he can only tell what he’s seen on TV or remembers in the past.” David Paich said: “At the beginning of the ’80s I watched a late night documentary on TV about all the terrible death and suffering of the people in Africa. It both moved and appalled me and the pictures just wouldn’t leave my head. I tried to imagine how I’d feel about if I was there and what I’d do.
