If you grew up in the 80's and early 90's

[Vancouver]

id have to dig and scan
too much effort, my darling

maybe if youre nice to me...cause i looked so hot back then.

well i think it's worth the digging and scanning.

 

[SiCk]

Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called bel-air

In west philadelfia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys said we’re up in no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said you’re moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air

(only the first three episodes of season one)

I begged and pleaded with her the other day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kissin’ and she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and said I might aswell kick it

First class, yo this is bad,
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of bel-air livin’ like,
Hmm this might be alright!

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
Licensplate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby yo, home smell you later
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To settle my throne as the prince of bel-air

You cow! I only read the first two lines and now it's stuck in my head! :evil:

 

[Alison]

Me too, but I'm still singing Shot through the Heart too and now the Fresh Prince theme got me thinking about the song "Parents just don't understand"

 

[Canon Fan]

"Parents just don't understand"

My dad was SO pissed when he found out I used my allowance money to buy that cassette!!!

 

[manda]

now im gonna have nightmares about his mother shaking her finger "youre movin with your aunty and uncle in bel air"

 

[mad_malteaser]

Damn! Why did I read this topic? Now I can't get Bon Jovi or the Fresh Prince out of my head. I'm singing a very weird hybrid of the two..... hmmmm.

 

[manda]

at least youre not so bonofied from loving a long time of U2ness that every time you type bon jovi, it comes out as bono jovi....

my fingers are on auto pilot when the N comes after the B and O.

ok, im so rambling...see what middle of the night and growing up in mulletsville central AKA the 80s does to you!

Hahaha, now there's a thought. Bono Jovi. That would have been something I'dve like to have seen!

 

[manda]

Well would it have been big curly hair and sticky out ears with a big mouth, or worst mullet ever crossed with arena rock style mic stand twirling?

It would have been sprayed on jeans whichever way

 

[mad_malteaser]

It would have been sprayed on jeans whichever way

Hell yeah!!

 

[manda]

maybe thats how they got their hair to look like that....
the tightyness of the jeans caused their hair to stand on end.

 

[mad_malteaser]

That and it helped them hit their high notes.
