Der Carlton Dance macht gute Laune

Ganz klar hat Will Smith von seiner damaligen Hautrolle in 'Prince of Bel Air' am Allermeisten profitiert. Ich bin mir aber sicher, dass er ohne seinen Gegenpart Carlton niemals so beliebt geworden wäre. Um so besser, dass Carlton alias Alfons Ribeiro nun auch mal wieder in den Medien zu finden ist. Dank der aktuellen Staffel von 'Dancing with the Stars' (DWTS 2014) erlebt der gute alte Carlton Dance einen genialen Revival:

Sehr geile Performance auf jeden Fall meiner Meinung nach. Zeit ein bisschen zu recherchieren: Laut Alfons Ribeiros Profil auf IMDB ist er sogar professioneller Steptänzer!
Und: James Avery, der bei 'Prince of Bel Air' damals den Vater von Carlton und Onkel von Will in der Rolle von Onkel Phil spielte, starb Ende 2013 nach Komplikationen bei einer Herz-Operation.

Als Tribut an den Cast einer meiner alten Lieblingsserien also hier noch einmal das Intro zur Serie 'Prince of Bel Air':

Und die dazu passenden Lyrics zu Fresh Prince Of Bel Air (Songwriter sind Willard C. Smith und Jeffrey Townes, © Universal Music Publishing Group):
Now, this is the 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 is 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 makin' trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said, "You're movin' with your aunty and uncle in Bel Air"

I begged and pleaded with her the other day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
I put my Walkman on and said, "I might as well kick it!"

First class, yo this is bad
Drinkin' orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of Bel Air are livin' like
Hmmm, this might be alright

But wait, I hear they're prissy, bourgeois and all that
Is this the type of place that they should send this cool cat?
I don't think so, I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel Air

Well, uh, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude look like a cop standin' wavin' my name out
I ain't tryin' to get arrested yet, I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought, nah forget it, yo home to Bel Air

I pulled up to the house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby, "Yo homes, smell you later"
Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel Air

Also auf geht's nach Bel Air:
