World famous actor Will Smith is no doubt most famous for his original starring role on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-AirTV show from the 1990′s. Where ever Smith goes, young people seem to know the lyrics to the Fresh Prince theme song, and want to sing it with him.
Will recently visited a British middle school, and while on stage, of course was asked to rap the theme song. All he had to say was, “West Philadelphia…” for the entire room of school children to rise to their feet screaming, cheering, and singing along.
The week old video of the outrageous scene has gone viral, and stands with over 300,000 views.
While visiting the BBC‘s The Graham Norton Show, Will Smith and Norton discussed how Will’s first big show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, was such an international, legendary hit.
“I happen to know, everyone knows [the rap],” Graham said as he took out an electronic keyboard for Gary Barlow to play. And with that, Will and the entire audience rapped the famous intro song to Fresh Prince in perfect unison. Ahh, the 90′s.
Anyone growing up in the 90′s is almost guaranteed to be a fan of Fresh Prince. And a favorite from that show is Carlton, played by Alfonso Ribeiro, and his trademark Cartlon Dance.
One thing Jimmy Fallon is great at is impressions. He’s got Neil Young down pat, and has done performances as him before. Here ‘Niel Young-Jimmy Fallon’ performs the hit theme song of the Fresh Prince Of Bel Air.
