I still know all the words to the fresh prince of bel-air...

:sneaky:



[Nostalgia]
-In west Philadelphia born and raised,
on a playground is where i spent most of my days,
Chillin out, maxin, relaxin all cool, and all shootin some b-ball outside of the school,
when a couple of guys, they were up to no good,
Started makin trouble in my neighbourhood,
I got in one little fight, and my mom got scared and said,
Youre movin with your auntie and uncle in Bel-air,
I whistled for a cab, and when it cam near, the Licence plate said "fresh" and it had a dice in the mirror,
If anything i could say that this cab was rare but i thought "nah forget it, yo homes to Bel-air"
{Musical Interlude}
{/end Musical Interlude}
I, Pulled, up to the house about 7 or 8, and i yelled to the cabbie yo homes smell ya later,
I looked at my kingdom, i was finally there,
To sit on my throne, as the Prince of Bel-Air.
[/End Nostalgia]



Ive done most of those...thats the sad thing...

[The Germanator]

Some trivia: If you watch early episodes of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, you get a whole extra verse (added at the beginning) of Will Smith rhymin' and DJ Jazzy Jeff on the beats. It was a total shock to hear more of such a great song. Keep your ears open and you may be able to hear it some day.

[Dylflon]

This thread was the most nostalgic thing ever.

Takes me back.

pfft. not even the full version. :p



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 aunt and uncle in Bel-Air"

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 as well 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

[TheGame]

AC Slater, I forget what the AC stood for Adam something?

Jessie

Kelly Companlon (I don't know how to spell it, but could pronounce it)

Lise Turtles

Richard Belding

That show was great, gonna get the first 4 seasons on DVD.


I still watch the Fresh Prince.

Know the words to the Ducktales song? That is just weak, I know that, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, Gummi Bears, Aladdin, heck most of the Disney afternoon block.

I loved Pound Puppies.

Smurfette wasn't the only female Smurf, baby Smurf was also female. That is what started to scare me.

Funny thing about Fraggle Rock is I never watched it nor heard about it, then like in Feb/March, my friend who went to school near me asked if I could get him episodes (I'm big on collecting old cartoons on my comp Batman: The Animated Series, Darkwing Duck and some others) so I was like ok. And that's howI saw my first episode.

I don't remember if I saw the original Turtles on the big screen. I've seen the movie a lot, probably 10 times in the last school year. Yup, it's about once a month at my school. Both of them, let's not talk about this supposed 3rd one.

Oregon Trail was a great game, use to suck when my cattle would die, and why is it teachers started off with such lousy pay?

I could keep going through that list, but I won't and some of it only applies to females...

[DimHalo]

AC Slater, I forget what the AC stood for Adam something?


Actually, I think it was Alfred Clifford

I have a cd. It is called The Disney Afternoon. It has all of those on it. I loved those shows!

[Dyne]

Hey! There's nothing about backwards hats/sideways hats... OR.. Full House! Or Family Matters.

Aww. :(

Full House was definitive nineties for me. And then watching American's Funniest Home Videos right after. Oh, Bob Saget is god.

[The Germanator]

I thought that A.C Slater was Albert Clifford, not Alfred, but I dunno.

I agree, Bob Saget is the man. There is no doubt he'll replace Officer Carl in my avatar sometime soon.

[Dylflon]

My dad worked with Bob Saget once.

I have his autograph. If I find it, I'll scan it and put it up for you guys.

Life is like a hurricane
Here in Duck - burg
Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes
It's a, duck - blur!
Might solve a mystery,
Or rewrite history!


Ducktales! a - whooh ooh
Every day they're out there making
Ducktales! a - whooh ooh
Tales of daring do bad and good
Ducktales!
D - D - D - Danger! (Watch behind you)
There's a stranger, (out to find you!)
What to do? Just grab on to some...

Not pony tales or cotton tales, no
Ducktales! (a - whooh ooh)


Has anyone ever heard the full 2 min song?

I got that on my comp, it basically repeats over and over, but still.

[Perfect Stu]

Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House

Murder, Assault, Suicide, Homicide



...

****ing reality.

[GiMpY-wAnNaBe]

Gremlins!!! brings back good memories...


and i actually did watch saturday morning cartoons every week, couldn't miss xmen or spiderman or else i'd be sad forthe rest of the day. And then the pokemon craze hit in aboot 99. But what i was really surprised wasn't on that list was scooters, EVERYBODY had them....insane.


Its funny about the ice skating before the inline skating because its so true, we used to go skating like twice a month in elementary....partially because there was a skating rink right next to the school. And i do still have the one sided skateboard, 19.99 from walmart...aahhh, good days

Actually, if you understood the refernece to "I've fallen and I can't get up"

You would know they did mention Family Matters. :D

[MasterMind]

One word: "Voltron"

Edit: More like "Cartoons"

This just made me remember all the cartoons I used to watch.

Centurions
Transformers
GI Joe
Thundercats

Now those were awesome back then.

[DimHalo]

Actually, if you understood the refernece to "I've fallen and I can't get up"

You would know they did mention Family Matters. :D

Actually, the first thing I think of when I hear that is the commercials for those medic bracelets with the panic button. The old lady is lying on the floor next to the bath tub. SHe pushes her handy dandy button and 911 answers and she says, "help, i've fallen and I can't get up."

[bobcat]

11. You can sing the entire theme song to "Duck Tales.

Duck Tales........woo hoo......bum bum bum bum bum.

Or maybe I was too young to remember. :p

And "I've fallen and I can't get up" is only one reference, indirectly. :p

[mickydaniels]

Hey! There's nothing about backwards hats/sideways hats... OR.. Full House!


Remember:


"You're in big trouble mister"?

man, that show sucked. so did Home Improvement.

[Dyne]

*insert Tim grunt here*

[jeepnut]

Remember:


"You're in big trouble mister"?

Wrong.

[Vampyr]

I was born in 1987, and most of those things DO apply to me. Heh. That's cool.

[DimHalo]

Remember:


"You're in big trouble mister"?

man, that show sucked. so did Home Improvement.

I beg to differ. Both of those shows were great! A lot better than what is on tv now.

[Perfect Stu]

Full House was one of the greatest shows ever.

I hate Bob F@ggot though...Stamos and the Olsens stole the show

[The Germanator]

Full House was one of the greatest shows ever.

-rep! :mad:

Kidding, but you do know that Bob Saget directed Dirty Work right? That movie was hilarious. Plus he had one of the greatest lines in Half Baked. "I used to suck dick for coke! Did you ever suck dick for marijuana?"

[Dyne]

Stamos and the Olsens stole the show

It was totally Uncle Joey and Uncle Jesse running the show.

[Bube]

It was totally Uncle Joey and Uncle Jesse running the show.
I totally agree.

Who's Stamos, BTW? I don't know anybody by their names (except Saget ant the Olsens).

[GT News]

You and I are on the same wavelength, .Not a robot. Probably a human. Maybe a celebrity?<br></br>

Perhaps I'm just expressing my own concern about it.
Would you like to know? Let us change the subject.

[TheSlyMoogle]

I do believe you've all forgotten about the great computer game that was "Where in the World is CARMEN SANDIAGO?!"

Yeah I used to play that instead of Oregan trail, there were Oregan trail losers on one side of the computer lab, and there were us Carmen Sandiago people on the other side. Lol.

Also, at our school, some of us where there when we first got computers, and so randomly one or two kids from each homeroom was chosen to become "Techsperts" and we got to learn about how to use the computer. LOL! They basically taught us Ctrl + Alt + Del. LOL!

[Typhoid]

I still have a mac (laptop)...and it has the best boxing game i have ever played...its called "4D- Boxing" for a game from the late 80's, it was pretty good, and addictively fun. Does anyone else remember that game?

[Joeiss]

Yeah, I was born in 1986, and almost everything applied to me.

Full House was awesome... And Snap bracelets! Those were the coolest... Why were they banned again? Because the metal would stick out or something? haha.

[Crash]

I was born in 1981 and EVERYTHING applied to me, ....well, some of them I had to be a girl ... but other than that.. great thead..
