It was in this that I found I was rather partial to a certain enterprise we devised where one is to heartily lob an inflated cow's-gut sack into an elevated loop of steel devised to honor the halo of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The completion of this seemingly inconsequential action was always sure to be consecrated by my contingents who would entertain me with ejaculatory whoops and bawls of congratulatory delectation.

Theme to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
by William Smith



Context
Theme to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was the song that played over the opening credits of the popular NBC sitcom “The Fresh-Prince of Bel-Air” from 1990 through 1996. The song was written and performed by series star Mr. Will Smith. The song laid out the premise for the entire series and it did so in a popular musical style of the day known as “rapping”. This marked the first and last time rapping was ever heard on NBC.

Will Smith - The main character and protagonist. He serves as narrator for the story as the song is told from his point of view. He is quite fresh.
Mom - Will’s mother. A very fearful person; perhaps a bit overprotective
Holmes – A cab driver; has a odor problem
A Couple of Guys – up to no good; start making trouble in the neighborhood

Setting
