Here come the Men in Black: Will Smith and Danny Elfman combined their musical powers to help the sci-fi staple be the biggest blockbuster it could be, 25 years ago. kevinfoxjr explains:
Big Willie Style
How many people could confidently and successfully rap lyrics like “From the deepest of the darkest of night/On the horizon bright light enters sight, tight/Cameras zoom on the impendin’ doom/But then like “boom” black suits fill the room up/With the quickness talk with the witnesses?” Aside from Smith’s lyrics, “Men in Black” is mostly its sample, “Forget Me Nots” . It’s a superior song that’s melody and chorus were copied, its lyrics reworked to address the premise of the film and sung by the Grammy-nominated Coko, formerly of Sisters With Voices. Because we don’t live in a just world, “Forget Me Nots” didn’t chart quite as highly, but I can’t stress how close a copy “Men in Black” is.
