The Fresh Prince of Bel Air was the platform that launched Will Smith?s career and introduced an entire generation to the high-top fade and the fashion miracle that is a blazer that's been turned inside out.
The show ended 15 years ago (and has subsequently been repeated more times than Friends) but one of the shows former stars, Tatyana Ali, who played Will?s cousin Ashley Banks, has confirmed that the original cast are in talks about doing a reunion.
We can't help but wonder which Aunt Viv they?ll bring back though.
Now that everyone is a bit older, the classic opening title sequence might not seem as relevant, so we here at hecklerspray have taken it upon ourselves to pen a new set of lyrics to the Fresh Prince theme.
Now this is a story all about how,
Will Smith?s movie career turned upside down,
And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there,
We?ll use a cheap joke to tell you how he's returning to Bel-Air.
In West Philadelphia born and raised,
In films like Ali was where Will spent most of his days,
Commanding massive box office, relaxing all cool,
Getting nominated for Oscars, he wasn?t no fool.
Then a couple of guys, thought it?d be a stitch,
To cast Big Willy in Hancock and Hitch,
The films bombed hard and his agent got scared,
And said, ?we're going to have to bring back the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”
The whole gang is back, despite all our fears,
That this is just an attempt to save their flagging careers,
If anything we think it just isn't fair,
To ruin the memory of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
So pull up a chair, sit back and await,
For middle aged Will to shout, ?Yo Homes, Smell ya later!?
Will Smith?s about to learn, to his despair,
That he will never escape the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
At least it's better than the Wild Wild West theme.
