Talk about having fun on the job.
The crew of the Bourbon Peridot, an oil ship stationed off the coast of West Africa, is lighting up the Internet with a fun music video in which they lip-synch to the '80s power ballad "Africa," by Toto.
The workers use the tools of their trade to create the fun video. That includes "playing" wrenches like xylophones, beating on liquid containers for drums and even a chef keeping tempo with knives on a fish.

"I don't know why I am not dating every man on this ship," says one YouTube commenter.
