Saying Aafrica twice messes with the pacing/delivery to me. Maybe it should just say “I blessed the rains.”
Or change the set up "Have you forgotten what happened in Kenya?"
What?
It's where you can see lions.
Only in Kenya.
I swear if this is a rickroll
Okay, it's not a rickroll, it's pretty swell actually

What do you mean by what?
What happened in Kenya?
So by changing the set up to say Kenya, rather than Africa you obfuscate the punchline somewhat.
True, and you might set up for a bonus DEEZ NUTS joke, as well

I know the song thanks.
The point is everyone knows it, that’s why the joke lands. So saying “I blessed the rains” is enough that they’ll piece it together. Trust the audience a bit > saying Aafrica twice
i get what you mean.
"Have you forgotten what happened down in Aafrika?"
...
"I blessed the rain"
would have been a better punchline, but it's still really good
Yeah that’s all I’m saying lol it’d be stronger. Joke’s still funny of course
tbf, I instinctually know Dunuh duh duh dunuh duh DUH, and the lyrics not as much.
