Can YOU recite the rap from the beginning of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air?

[BellaBearisWideAwake]

because it turns out I can. And it's been going through my head now for days and I don't know why

Bits of it! Iiiiiiiin West Philadelphia born and raised, in the playground is where I spent most of my days........

Ok so not that many bits of it

I thought it was burned into the memory of every late 80's/early 90's child??

I know I can remember it almost word perfect.

Chilling out maxing relaxing all cool

Well if it's in my head I'm going to share the joy

Ear worm!

I got in one little fight and my mum got mad
She said you'll move in with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air.

Or something like that....

I can, and do if it happens to be on.

Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
and all shooting some ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys, they were upto no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood...

Haha as soon as I read that I started head wiggling

Oh you are bad. I just youtubed it. Now I will have it in my head all bloomin week!

...my mum got scared

There was a little used verse on board a plane. Before it was cut it made the next verse make a bit more sense

yes I can and when I was at school we had to make up a rhyme about romeo and juliette and so a friend and I did it to the fresh prince and its burnt into my head now.....

Shooting some B-ball outside of the school

I can. And if see its on now I have to sit and sing it. Can't help it

of course I can!

And I supposedly managed to do my homework at the same time, although I can't seem to remember any French.....?

Tragically yes. all of it. I also hate to admit this but if me or DH say something like 'shall we just chill today' one of us starts with one of the lines and we carry on with the rest.
Goes away to contemplate sadness.

No. But I can recite all of

Yes I can!!!! Got to love the fresh prince!

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
