SUMMERTIME MADNESS WILL SMITH MOVIE

She turn around to see what you beepin’ at Honkin’ at the honey in front of you with the light eyes Guys out huntin’ and girls doin’ likewise Ridin’ around in your jeep or your BenzosĪ place called the plateau is where everybody goes The weather is hot and girls are dressin’ lessĪnd checkin’ out the fellas to tell ’em who’s best The way that people respond to summer madness On cruise and lay back ’cause this is summertimeīut back then I didn’t really know what it was Pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme and put your car That moves romance, give me a soft, subtle mixĪnd if ain’t broke then don’t try to fix it Of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to beĪ little bit out of control, it’s cool to dance

Just a little somethin’ to break the monotony Here it is, the groove slightly transformed (Song by Will Smith and too many more to mention!) Summertime by DJ Jazzy Jeff The Fresh Prince:

SUMMERTIME MADNESS WILL SMITH MOVIE

He is also widely thought of as being the “nicest” A-list movie actor around, always patient with interviewers despite having probably been asked the same question hundreds of times whilst on press junkets promoting a new film.įor now however, I will just enjoy watching the young Will, hang out with DJ Jazzy Jeff (Jeffrey to his mum) and a host of friends and relatives (but probably extras) whilst coming up with some very entertaining rhymes. Will Smith has gone on to great things since and has starred in 21 movies to date with a couple of Oscar nominations under his belt to boot. We still watched TOTP on a Thursday night however and despite the fact I have never really been a fan of rap, this was just a great sounding song that summed up what summertime means for young people. It was released in 1991 when I was in my early thirties, so not really one of the tracks of my years – Had I been a teenager around then I would have known Will Smith well from his television show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air but I wasn’t, and I didn’t. Time to re-load summer then, and the first song that came to mind when rethinking all of this was Summertime by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. Lets hope so anyway.Īlthough for meteorologists summer starts at the beginning of June, apparently “astronomical summer” is defined as starting on the 21st, the Solstice. Yet again, the last couple of weeks here in Scotland have been quite wet and miserable but it does look as if good weather might be on it’s way.

Somehow the romance of it all gets a bit lost amidst the parking practicalities of 21st century Britain.īut what should the featured song for this post be? I am going to cheat a little and borrow from the post I wrote this day last year when I was quite upset that the month of June had not panned out weather-wise as I had hoped. We recommend using public transport, car sharing or arranging lifts from taxis and local accommodation providers”. It has naturally become quite the gathering place for this ancient ritual but when looking into it further, the guidance was as follows: “ The roads around Stonehenge will be very busy and parking facilities for the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge are very limited. There will have been many however who made the trek to Stonehenge this morning to watch the sunrise at around 4.15am. Sadly this day has landed on a Wednesday, which is a work day, so I probably won’t be able to stay up late to watch the sunset which is a shame. Not bad for an evening’s work.Īgain, life in modern day suburbia is not quite as it used to be when these rituals were first performed and although I like the sound of driving out evil, I don’t have many crops or herds to consider but am mighty glad that others do, so yeah to the farmers of the world, who keep us well fed throughout the year. Together we can admire the fire which is supposed to a) provide magical aid to the sun b) drive out evil and c) bring fertility and prosperity to men, crops and herds. I have also done something that will inspire a bout of manic preparation today – Yes, I have invited the neighbours round for a bit of a soirée. As ever, the ancient festivals held on these days made use of fires, so tonight Mr WIAA is going to be all manly and will symbolically light our little fire pit.

This is going to be a bit of a short post (ironic as it’s the longest day) but I have been taking a keen interest in the pagan, or nature’s calendar over the last year and today is Litha, also known as Midsummer or the Summer Solstice.
