"The whole audience knows the song" lol yeah nice one Graham, even blind Freddie could tell they were looking at a teleprompter, unless they were all looking up to witness the second coming of Jesus.
You’ve got to love Gary in this. He’s genuinely funny and his timing is perfect. The good thing about the Graham Norton show is celebrities just seem to go there have a drink and have a laugh. It’s like they’re just hanging out is his bedroom forgetting there’s an audience.
Am I the only one who feels like it was a missed opportunity to have Tom Jones there and not sing "Its Not Unusual" as an ode to Carlton and his favorite song? Did tthey forget that he was a major reference in the fresh prince?
+nchllltmr Yessssssss! I didn't even think about it until I read your post. That would've been epic! It probably didn't cross the host's mind, he would've done it, or at least made reference to it.
What are you talking about? We have a black President...Besides, hating immigrants and obsessing about class is one thing the Brits know how to do better than almost any other Western nation...
I dont care how many times I see this. Wills reaction when Gary does the 1st bit is amazing..... Gary Barlow is so famous and the fact will smith is shocked and humbled by that is incredible still and also shows how much will smith is just so down to earth no matter how famous he gets
Now, this is a 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 Philadelphia born and raised On the playground was 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 who were up to no good Started making trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air' I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had 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' I pulled up to the house about seven or eigth 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
Maria, AWW, THANK YOU! This would be the FIRST time I sang this song and didn't mess up because you shared the lyrics. Really, that was nice of you. Thanks! May God bless you and those you love! Peace, Lynne 🍃💜🍃
I'm sure he never will. After all it is the theme song to the series that launched his acting career. And everyone knows it and it's now basically his theme song as well lol
+sctr1235 No and thats great because most actors are ashamed of the tv show or movie that made them famous but he embraces it, rather than being embarrassed by it. I love that!
i've seen this a couple times and anytime i hear it i can't not rap the song (which i'm sure is true for most people who grew up on fresh prince). Last weekend i was at my local bar and they played this song after last call to close it down and everyone went bananas and got on their feet and rapped the lyrics to the entire song, it was pretty nostalgic... didn't know it was a hit in england though
In my Fresher's week at University a few years ago, they started playing the track and then turned it off as the entire room sang every word and kept the track going til it finished. Good memories :)
I love how after all these years, Will still talks about and is not ashamed of his breakout role like most people are and he also didn't take it to an extreme to try and change his image and the way people look at him, we all respect him and think he's such a good actor and role model. Love ya Will Smith ❤️❤️❤️
Will Smith is one of person that are so shiny, you can not held yourself smiling along all the time...chatting with the mighty Graham, simply can not get better than that
@KatMusic2009 . When fresh Prince 1st started back in 1990, Will was 21/22! So yeah, he'll be 56 in September this year. Well done for pointing that out.
"That was the synth it was done in as well!". My god, this makes my face hurt with such happiness. Fresh Prince was a massive part of my childhood and it must be SO so humbling to hear an entire audience singing it with smiles. Wish I was there. :D
That's so cool after all these years Will Smith can remember the words and sing it with the audience. Every one looked so happy. I love this video.
Mekrab J you mean its progamed after right?
Everyone knows the lyrics
Shiggy they had screens with the lyrics for the audience
That's what made it so fun. They had the lyrics for everyone to join in!!
Happy, happy Yasin Ur Rahman
I'm so glad that he doesn't get annoyed about always doing Fresh Prince stuff and he has such a great time like laughing at the keyboard
Gary Barlow nailing every note on those keys LIKE A BAUSS
"MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII... Memmulemeh, meh" xD
Mashallah tbark allah alhamudillah inshallah better AStgfrallah
@@nawafasmd5146 Now please once more, with feeling.
He's our generations Mozart
"You've propably seen some musicians before but get ready my friend"
And he delivered! I remember this and look at it just because of his playing!
I love Will Smith when Barlow plays over him... He looks so surprise.
you just have to love Gary for that thing. Apart from that he knows his stuff. But him also triny hard not laugh during it nailed it.
Will and Gary are cute together..lol Obviously good friends.
Best line ever… so confident
I want Will Smith to do comedy again so badly. I love him in action flicks and I think he is great in dramatic roles but PLEASE do a comedy again!
He's in a movie called Bad Boys. There's a third one coming out next year which is a comedy and action film.
+Sudais Darr what about suicide Squad
- That's more action.
+Sudais Darr there's actually another one next year?
Wait, shit, seriously? I gotta Google this shit!
"Don't make fun, it took me all week." Lol
Tom Jones is just sitting there like "never heard the song" hahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Even though he's been on the show before
He's saying to himself, come on, try to remember, come, which 70s show was this from....
John T can't tell if you're actually trying to make a joke, or havent done enough research. It was the 90's
WallaceLeeMusic
I know dumbass. But Tom Jones was thinking 70s.
I just love Gary in this, that dry humour is everything
the most epic moment in the history of TV
Word
+HitokageProduction Nah, when he came back and did that and brought Jazzy Jeff that was better.
30secondstomarsMBH I like this one...that second one is some kind of remix, it doesn't sound so epic as this plus the audience
***** I find it more epic, but it's all about taste. Each to their own. :) :)
30secondstomarsMBH yea, the second one doesn't feel so spontaneous
Gary didn't even need to look at the keys.. awesome
I know...I think I like this guy.
you know, most of the musicians don't even look at the instrument, it's not special :D
It is still impressive!
Because the instrument was a sampler, it adds the samples of audio the original theme used and plays them back, much like the original
@@oliviatrace7750 Trained musicians never look at the keys.
At least you know Will Smith didn't use auto tune
@Indy Mae why you need auto tune for rapping? Some rapper used it but they used it in a way that is obvious. Rapping is about beat not tune...
Victor Ma rapping is about lyricism and rhythm
Victor Ma also rhyming
Ei boy why do u think autotunes being used so widely....millions of performers aren't stupid u know
Some rappers do use auto tune but it is just for the effect not a requirement to correct the tone lol
this rap is hands down THE most iconic theme song in history. like ever.
Even more then the lego ninjago theme possibly
Wait that changes
If I ever meet Mark Hamill, I'd ask him to rap this theme, because the iconic Star Wars theme has no lyrics. And I bet he knew the words.
I've never heard it until the slap on the oscars. I've only just found it-
The original Pokémon theme song has entered the chat...
Will Smith's energy is contagious. It takes over the room.
"People: Will! Will! ... Carlton!", ha ha ha.
+ZeroGaiaForce LOL, they call you that for the rest of your life XDDD
"It's better then Alfonso" and auto correct had it on the ready
+mckenzie Dakin eh? what do you mean I dont understand
ZeroGaiaForce no ashly will carlton
😂😂😂😂
That part where Will does the piano bit 😂 and Gary is like 'don't make fun it's taken me all week' 😂

Isnt he a scientologist?

Seth Shannon 10/10 better than trump
He would rename the country United States Of Bel Air
Gary just looks so happy with himself it's amazing
“Everyone knows the words!”
Audience clearly looking at the lyrics on a screen
Wow it took 8 years for someone to notice.. . And you beat me by 3 hours xD
Even though they were looking at the lyrics, they sang it on rhythm
@@xpdobrada exactly! if they could keep the rhythm then they actually know the song, doesn't matter if they had to read the lyrics haha
@@LeenSeoh still impressive that they knew a 20 yo (at the time) sitcom opening, I am just rewatching it now on hbo max and it aged quite well
"everyone" knows the edit but not all know long version that played for only 2 episodes exists.or that theres a 3 minuite version.
"The whole audience knows the song" lol yeah nice one Graham, even blind Freddie could tell they were looking at a teleprompter, unless they were all looking up to witness the second coming of Jesus.

Omg! Your comment is hilarious!!! I can't get over it!
Hahahaha, you sir hit the nail on the head lol.
I know the whole song >.<

wow after more than a decade passed, Will Smith still got his game.
+Papajina SON 2 decades, but yeah, he's still got game. Fun guy.

Will smith isnt a human he's THE human
No he's the genie
@@xbladter2347 No, he's the Gemini Man
No hes an actor

Will Smiths laugh is awesome. Great guy.
Pepe The Cat 🐱
This is a humble guy, he owns millions yet he's so down to earth, who doesn't love him?
After all those years, he still does it the way it is on tv, this man is awesome.
I love Wills reactions in this video, going "Woo!"at the music sting, giving props to Barlow, breaking down laughing, and more.
Am I the only one who feels like it was a missed opportunity to have Tom Jones there and not sing "Its Not Unusual" as an ode to Carlton and his favorite song? Did tthey forget that he was a major reference in the fresh prince?
+nchllltmr Great to see somebody picked up on that
I agree.
I don't get that
+nchllltmr i agreee!!
+nchllltmr Yessssssss! I didn't even think about it until I read your post. That would've been epic! It probably didn't cross the host's mind, he would've done it, or at least made reference to it.
I just noticed Tom Jones was on the Sofa 😂 & his song was what created the Carlton dance 😂 why didn't he sing along 😩
Love your name
This link is good! It's not the actual lyrics but it is brilliant!
th-cam.com/video/RaBDE_8DLag/w-d-xo.html
Tom would have stolen the show have you not heard his VOICE
Tom Jones was on an episode of Fresh Prince.
Maybe because no interest if Carlton isn't there ... Except if for once Tom Jones makes the Carlton dance ? :p :p
Gary has some mad skills 😂
Word
*****
Yh he pressed play
will is simply cool
when i got my first scooter , i wrote "fresh" under the license sign, yes back then..
.......
Damhod Scooters have never been cool
this may be , but with 15 i thought differently ^^
with 17 i bought a Yamaha DT 125.
It's really cool to see other cultures love Fresh Prince as much as we do.
pretty much the same culture tbh
we love it here in the UK, however the race thing isn't such a big thing here hon
Natural Mystic I live in Florida and the loveliest people that I've met in my life have been from the UK I hope next year I get to visit your country.
What are you talking about? We have a black President...Besides, hating immigrants and obsessing about class is one thing the Brits know how to do better than almost any other Western nation...

This made up for After Earth.
+Hidious Vanity LoL XD
+Nit Picker Not really.. Will Smith can go to hell.
shut your little month
ouuuuuu smooooth
Who are you to say that. I don't see you doing anything with your sad life haha.
I dont care how many times I see this. Wills reaction when Gary does the 1st bit is amazing..... Gary Barlow is so famous and the fact will smith is shocked and humbled by that is incredible still and also shows how much will smith is just so down to earth no matter how famous he gets
Gary Barlow is like the cool uncle at a wedding 😂
Who accept for me ist still watching this in 2024?
Back before the drama years hit hard.
Me! June, 2024!
Me 😊
I’m still watching 🙋♂️
Still watching it lol June 9th 2024
the guy on the right is tom jones! "the carlton dance" singer!
Wow, I never realized this. Did they acknowledge this on the show?
not sure! haven't seen the full segment
They did, I think maybe after this segment they were talking about Tom's experience also on the set of the Fresh prince also.
"the carlton dance" singer...? REEEALLY haha the song is It's Not Unusual XD
Lots of love to Will Smith……I hope he recovers from this issue he is going through!
I will always love him!
Gary Barlow is such a beautiful man
I love how he still remembers the lyrics after it's been close to 3 decades since the show premiered.
I mean HE wrote the lyrics
Is it weird that I now wanna see Gary Barlow and Will Smith go on tour together?
Joey Wildman no. no its not
Joey Wildman It's weird lol.
People are saying that he still remember the lyrics man he never stop singing this song. He's been singing this his whole life.
Its nice that they provide the audience with lyrics, they clearly are reading it. But Will & Gary collab is epic!! :D
They weren't reading a script, it really is well known enough for people to memorize the song
+TheRedMarauder dude you can tell they were looking up at the lyrics..
+Bella Cruz Thanks for ruining my favourite video on the internet.
Jeremy Kildea You're welcome. Glad I could help. Now go and live your life, you're free now, my friend. LOL XD
rip uncle phil legend actor
are you kidding me right now, is he gone!?
ahh, shit. That's so sad. May God rest his soul
Wrong! You can't kill a legend.
WTF HE DIED, this is the first i'm hearing of it
R.I.P big man
Gary Barlow hitting that long note makes me cry from laughter every time hahahaha
Now, this is a 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 Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was 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 who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had 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'
I pulled up to the house about seven or eigth
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
Maria, AWW, THANK YOU! This would be the FIRST time I sang this song and didn't mess up because you shared the lyrics. Really, that was nice of you. Thanks!
May God bless you and those you love!
Peace,
Lynne 🍃💜🍃
Maria Eduarda Luczynski thanks so much
@Siddhant Vyas true! there is a lot missing!
Good to know google still works
@@JohnHazelwood58 yeah but this is all they sing so what’s the point of getting the rest if it’s not used
Hmm, you see I'm hearing the audience say "How my life got twisted upside down". But its actually "flipped/turned upside down"... yeah
yeah ikr
+Blasts Mods Im german and understood this better then actual Americans?
Im impressed :D

Gary Barlow and Will Smith together make me laugh so hard AHAHHAHAH
100% Agreed :D They play it all serious, and hide that laugh behind their faces xD
doesnt seem like he ever gets tired of doing that rap
I'm sure he never will. After all it is the theme song to the series that launched his acting career. And everyone knows it and it's now basically his theme song as well lol

+SWinChicago It's a big deal everywhere. I grew up watching it and singing the theme song in Ghana
If only Carlton was here :'(
Especially with Tom Jones on the couch.
hahahaha good point
He's not dead?
@@jakehart-kirby5401 Who is not dead? Tom Jones??
That would have been perfection....Why didn't they think of that..
Was he not there to sing the jump on it song in one of the episodes with Will
i've seen this a couple times and anytime i hear it i can't not rap the song (which i'm sure is true for most people who grew up on fresh prince). Last weekend i was at my local bar and they played this song after last call to close it down and everyone went bananas and got on their feet and rapped the lyrics to the entire song, it was pretty nostalgic... didn't know it was a hit in england though
Man, fresh prince is always being repeated here in England. I live for that shit, lool
