This doesn't strike me as plausible given there's a ton of other material on his channel and it all sounds natural to my ears.

GAHHH!!!! SOOOO MUCH LIVE AUTOTUNE!!!! MY FUCKING EARS!!!!

I didn't pick up anything, what's the tell-tale sound of it that you can hear? Or is it just one of those things that you can't really describe but just 'know' when you hear?
I hate to think that I'm being swindled by it not really being 'them' singing.

I was about to denounce TheSluiceGate for being a hater, but I think around 3:50 there's some vocal sliding around that sounds suspiciously autotuned. But, I will say that even with autotune it doesn't sound unlike the original, to me.
To their credit, those are notes not many men, who have gone through puberty, can hit.

That's so cool, the first time I watched this it made me nostalgic for the pie>> ^observer144:

I swear to god.. all these years I've thought it's "I catch the waves down in Africa!".
I cringe to think what other songs are butchered in my head.

Funny, I thought it was "I miss the rains down in Africa".
Lets do an informal Google poll based on total search results:
"I catch the waves down in Africa" = 48 hits (sorry)
"I miss the rains down in Africa" = 8970 hits
"I bless the rains down in Africa" = 237000
...
Maybe I'll struggle to come up with some more alternatives:
"I piss in drains down in Africa" = 0 swing and a miss
"I kiss the rains down in Africa" = 68
"I took the train down to Africa" = 2
"I list the brains down in Africa" = 0 strike 2
"master race down in Africa" = 1 - Wow, Google's crawlers are fast, @dahauns
"I miss the plains down in Africa" = 22
"I guess the rains down in Africa" = a surprising 826
"I swing a mace down in Africa" = 0 strike 3, too much Skyrim for me

I may be unique in this (google confirms this), but I always heard Bob Marley's Get Up, Stand Up line "It's not all that glitters is gold" as "It's as hard as pizza that's cold".
Which is its own sort of interesting koan.

As a kid I always thought he said:

"I guess it rains down in Africa" = 4,470 hits

Perfect that they picked one of the rare rainy days in Utah. That background made me so nostalgic. If any of you are ever in the Salt Lake valley, you can't choose a better pizza place than the Pie.
