DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince - A Nightmare on My Street
Discography

I have one of the greatest Halloween song for you today. It's DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's "A Nightmare on My Street" from their most popular album, He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper (the one with "Parents Just Don't Understand" song).
The song is obviously about Freddy Krueger of A Nightmare on Elm Street. It tells about how Will Smith saw this "def" movie and before he knew it, he was having a nightmare about Fred.
The piano
part in Smith's song uses elements of Charles Bernstein's soundtrack
for the original movie. The sample they used is from "Main Theme", but I'm including "Sleep Clinic" here.
By the way, isn't it weird how Will Smith is all grown up now?
So, anyroad, the first time I saw a Nightmare film, it was Part 3, The Dream Warriors. I thought it was one of the best horror movie I've ever seen (back in '87). I especially liked the D&D kid that was killed right away :/
And if you're planning on renting the Nightmare series, avoid part two. Freddy's Revenge was easily the worst film of the series.

Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff were blowin' up right when I was in high school (1988-1992) and of course I remember The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
It's not quite so bizarre to me that he's grown up as I followed his movie career as well (ID4, Wild Wild West, Men In Black, etc.) but it is weird that 4Chan /btards (4Chan is an anime community, /btards are trolls on the /b channel -- think Rick Rolling) decided to make quoting the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme part of their trolling methods.
Most of those kids were in diapers when their first albums was released.
