Sucks bc both of these were on my list, but the Fresh Prince theme is just a fucking classic. It was my #1 seed pretty easily.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I had the remake of Hawaii 5-0 on mine and the OG is basically the same.

I also had Fresh in my 25 so hard choice, but I'll go with what I didn't cut from my list.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Wait, I cut both.

 

[Davey Wrestling]

Yeah, neither of these made my list and although I was aware that Fresh Prince existed I have no nostalgia for it- so, rating these purely on the tune itself, Hawai Five-0 wins pretty easily for me.

 

[Chris]

Wait, I cut both.

I was about to say, I didn't remember any remake nominations

It was my 21st nom I believe. I would told you to count it with the OG since they are barely different.

 

[O-Blaze]

Voted Fresh Prince here.

 

[Jimmy King]

Fresh Prince easily for me.

 

[Professor Booty]

FP is great and a classic but 5-0 is iconic and been so for half a century

I'll go with Fresh Prince here. Hawaii 5-0 is clearly still dope though.

Am going Fresh Prince too. It was such a great showcase for Smith's talents. His sharp vocals and wit make that theme stand out. Also its quite unique to have a opening theme done in that style at least at the time.
