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

Hubby and I were having a reminiscing session on Saturday and found out I can recite the Um bongo advert!!! :o)

Yeah most people dont know the but in the middle that isnt usually aired the bit in the airport.

Yes. I thought it was mandatory for anyone 25 and over?

Used to think I was so cool, knowing all the words to fresh prince

Also... Tick, tick ,tick, tick, BOOM!

anyone say Neneh Cherry and Rap....

'Who's that Gigolo on the street, with his hands in his pockets and his crocodile feet...'

oh dear.

I can do The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Eminem; What I Am. I used to drive cars to and from clients' homes and the garage. If they'd taken the radio off I would rap both of these to keep me entertained (days before ipods,etc)

Oh, and Gangster's paradise

No, but I CAN do the Um Bongo advert, AND Wham Rap! "Hey everybody take a look at me, I've got street credibility"

Yep, I know 'em all.
Am v. backward re other stuff though - only just found out a few weeks ago that Will Smith is part of the Scientology crew . V. upset about it too. :(

Yes, sadly, the whole thing - but not the longer filler bit they put in sometimes when the episode had been cut - where he's on the plane. Is it better that I don't know that part, or worse that I know that part exists at all?

I also know all the Cool for Cats milk song. God, I have almost total recall for jingles and theme tunes of the 1980s. I'm my own, completely unnecessary, Youtube. I could be USING those brain cells.

Nobody's done the first verse (or I missed it!)

Here is a story all about how
My life got flipp'd turn'd upside down
Let me take a minute, just sit right there
And I'll tell how I became the Prince of town called Bel Air

Add to that all the Wham songs as well and I think I may need to go and have an OAP nap now

DS can, he loves that show! Sadly I'm much too old not of the Fresh Prince generation :o
