80s & 90s After School TV
One of my friends had written an excerpt from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song as her status note, and I had to complete the Entire song on her wall. You can't just say a line from that song, and leave it at that.
If at any point in time a line from that song is said aloud, the ensuing lines must be completed for personal satisfaction. As I was writing the rest of the song:
I was chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
shooting some b-ball outside of the school,
when a couple of guys who were up to no good,
starting making trouble in my neighborhood.
i got in one little fight,
my mom got scared,
She said you're moving with your aunty and uncle in bel air.
I whistled for a cab, and when it came near, the license plate said fresh,
and in a dice in a mere,
If I didn't know anything?
I thought this cab was weird ?
I said forget yo home the bel air.
I pulled up to the house around 7 or 8 and
I yelled to the cabbie yo homie smell you later,
looked my kingdom I was finally there,
to sit on my throne as the prince of bel air.
(then you have to do the little foot slide thing as you act out the song, too!)
I probably don't have all the words right, as usual (probably in more places than just the ?ed lines) but oh well, everyone knows the jist of the song..
I remember coming home by 3.45 racing & fighting my sister for the remote, then once the remote was clearly in someone's possession we'd go to the kitchen to whip up some snack (usually Honey nut cheerios) and then both watch the channel we would have used the remote we were fighting for to watch:

Dude check out the full version of the song! I didnt even know it had this many verses until I hit up Wikipedia after you mentioned it (sad I know, but please dont judge!)
This is the bit after his mom ships him off to bel-air:
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orang juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.
But wait I hear the pricey booze, wine all that
Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?
I don't think sow
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop and yelled my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared.
OK, long I know but how cool is this.
And you forgot the greatest children TV show of all time - THUNDERCATS!!!!!!! HOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Hi there Anonymous, it's so funny you mentioned Thundercats because I honestly don't remember that show AT ALL. But, as I was singing the fresh prince song (the abridged version, apparently) my husband busted out with the thundercats theme song. It blew me away. He even knew the PLANET they were from.... What???
Oh, and Anonymous, don't worry about wikipedia-ing the song, no worries, normally I would have googled the song, but this time, I thought I'd go with my memory. Serves me right, it took me like 5 tries to get it right! (more including my friends facebook entries..)
Anonymous' name is Ali :) and I can completely relate to your husband's intricate knowledge of Thundercats (I'm sure he had a particular interest in Cheetara's stats). It was a seminal part of growing up in the 80s. If you wanna find out more about it, cartoon network, or whoever made it, have just released the official DVD! Xmas has come early! Mumm-Ra was the official bad boy of the series, but who didnt want to be like Lion-o?! Anyone?! Well, except my friend Nisreen who wanted to be Snarf :)
jean claude van DAMN YOU FWINE (or..GOOD LOOKIN)!!
uh, Thanks Marya, but uh, what's love got to do with it? hahah. I mean, what's that got to do with this post??
You sure you got the right blogger? hahah.
