Schools across Beaver County were placed on lockdown Thursday after one person misheard a student's voicemail. Police said a worker calling to confirm a doctor's appointment with an Ambridge High School student heard the theme song to the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" when she attempted to call. The worker said she called police when she misheard the lyrics -- which she claimed said "shooting people outside of school."
The actual lyrics to the song say "shooting some b-ball outside of school."
The call to 911 forced the entire district into lockdown for about 30 minutes and police said they detained the 19-year-old student for three hours while searching his locker, before determining that it was all one big misunderstanding.
"He was afraid and embarrassed. Obviously staff at the doctor's office was embarrassed about the whole thing too," said Ambridge police Officer Mike Natale.
Men in Black sampled, "Forget Me Nots"... Gettin Jiggy Wit It sampled Sister Sledge's, "I Went Wild--He's the Greatest Dancer." nananananana-nananananana!
haha!
and yes--i hope they all got their fair share...
They also sampled, the “I Dream of Jeanie” theme for, “Girls Ain’t Nothin’ But Trouble.” I forgot he talked about drinking tequila in that song. Interesting, because, according to Wikipedia he was about 18 when that song came out.
i had forgotten about that song... very early DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince... it's funny because in that song he sounds a lot like rapper Gerardo (Rico Suave)... same sound, same pronunciation... must have been a late 80's early 90's style...
in Wild, Wild West he sampled "I Wish," by Stevie Wonder...
Oh yeah, I got the two reversed. I usually know the songs better that they are sampling.
