Video: Fresh Prince, Fallon & Young

Hate all you want on Jimmy Fallon, but the guy does the best impersonation of Neil Young covering Will Smith's "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." That is a fact.

And good luck getting that song out of your head. To help out, ponder this: What else should Neil-llon cover?

very nice. but Jonathan Coulton's acoustic rendition of "Baby Got Back" spawned this genre:

Heh, look, I like Jonathan Coulton fine, but that was not an original idea. I can think of a dozen bands that have done something similar, going back to Sissy Bar's "Gin & Juice" in 1996:

Besides doing a Fresh Prince cover AS Neil Young isn't even the same thing.

Phish (*gag*) also did Gin & Juice

My favorite was this short chubby girl whose name escapes me who I saw do an acoustic guitar version of Big Punisher's "Still Not a Player." I think it was at Knitting Factory.

That is NOT Phish. That is an indie bluegrass band called The Gourds. Doesn't even sound like Phish at all - don't blame the interwebs for such a dumb error.

Honestly, how in the hell do people still think that is Phish? It's odd that you *gag* at the mention of them, because you clearly have never heard a note of their music if that sounds like Phish to you.
