Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Still Hip With Instagram Audiences

Not quite as popular as Taylor Swift's cats, though

If you approached random millennials in the U.S. and mentioned the line, "in West Philadelphia born and raised," there's a high probability they'd not only the finish the phrase—"on a playground I spent most of my days"—but also recite the entire Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme from memory. 

Okay, we don't have scientific studies to back this up, but according to our our weekly Adweek/Shareablee branded Instagram video chart, Will Smith's recognizable rhyme still strikes a chord. His performance of the song on The Ellen Show received almost 16,000 comments on the platform and was viewed upward of 317,000.
