Discography

I have one of the greatest Halloween song for you today. It’s DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince‘s “A Nightmare on My Street” from their most popular album, He’s the DJ, I’m the Rapper (the one with “Parents Just Don’t Understand” song).
The song is obviously about Freddy Krueger of A Nightmare on Elm Street. It tells about how Will Smith saw this “def” movie and before he knew it, he was having a nightmare about Fred.
The piano part in Smith’s song uses elements of Charles Bernstein’s soundtrack for the original movie. The sample they used is from “Main Theme“, but I’m including “Sleep Clinic” here.
By the way, isn’t it weird how Will Smith is all grown up now?
So, anyroad, the first time I saw a Nightmare film, it was Part 3, The Dream Warriors. I thought it was one of the best horror movie I’ve ever seen (back in ’87). I especially liked the D&D kid that was killed right away :/
And if you’re planning on renting the Nightmare series, avoid part two. Freddy’s Revenge was easily the worst film of the series.
