The Fresh Prince of Bel Air

Ain't no thang but a chicken wing

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was a popular American sitcom that aired on NBC from September 10, 1990 to May 20, 1996, featuring Will Smith in a fish-out-of-water tale of a streetwise Philadelphia teenager sent to live with rich relatives in a Bel-Air (Los Angeles) mansion. A total of 148 episodes were produced over six seasons.



The theme song was written by Will Smith and performed by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. Its full version was rarely used on the show, although DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince did record it as an unreleased B-side.[1] For the first few episodes of the show, verses one to three and verses six and seven were used; however, beginning with Episode #9 (titled "Someday Your Prince Will Be in Effect (2)"), only the first two and the last two verses of the song were used, so that episodes could be longer.

The earlier seasons featured an instrumental version of the theme and stills from the episode for the closing credits. Eventually the music and stills were dropped, and closing credits would almost always appear over bloopers and outtakes from the episode. The closing theme over episode clips reappeared in the show's fifth season (airing in the reruns, because of NBC's change from traditional credits to the split screen credits currently employed by the network).
