Will Smith Recounts Hating The Original Fresh Prince Of Bel Air Theme Song & How He Responded.The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’s Will Smith explains how his dislike of the original theme song saw him taking a nerve-wracking chance to make a more fitting tune. The 1990s sitcom saw a young teen from Philadelphia move to live with his wealthy relatives in the titular Los Angeles neighborhood across six seasons from 1990 to 1996. Starring Smith as a fictionalized version of himself, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’s cast featured James Avery, Janet Hubert-Whitten, Daphne Maxwell-Reid, Alphonso Ribeiro, Karyn Parsons, Tatyana M. Ali, and Joseph Marcell.As Vice’s Black Comedy In America series turned its attention to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Smith confessed that he loathed the original theme song that the late Quincy Jones pitched, but he felt he couldn’t say that directly to the producer due to both his involvement and reputation in the music industry. As such, Smith joined forces with his frequent collaborator DJ Jazzy Jeff to remix the rendition before presenting it to the composer, leading to Jones approving and agreeing that the remix was a much more timely update compared to the original. Read the full response below:
“So, you know, Quincy did “Sanford and Son.” You know, one of the greatest theme songwriters ever. So Quincy presented a theme song, and I, like, hated it. And so I go to Jeff, I was like, “Dude, this is the song that Quincy wants.” And I was like, “I can’t — I can’t say nothing.” You know, it’s Quincy. What I’m supposed to say? Jeff was like, “Yo, we should record what it should be.” So, you know, Jeff had his equipment in his hotel room and we worked it out, and we just laid a… we made a demo that basically – it just tells the story of the show. So, we wrote, and I went to Quincy, and I was like, “Hey Q, you know, I just, I just want you – can you take a listen to this? I was just thinking of maybe what this should be for the — for the theme song?”
I played it for him and he listened. He said, ‘That’s good. Mine’s a piece of s—.'” He said, “That’s what it needs to be.”
How Smith’s Tune Change For The Fresh Prince Theme Helped The Series Grow .is no doubt that Smith and Jeff’s remix was the better fit for the series. Alongside being a more modern track for the times, the song best presents Smith’s series and his story, as it introduces audiences to his character, from his casual, laid-back nature, to his cockier and boastful side as he recollects the events that earned him his plane ticket to Los Angeles.
