NEW YORK, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- Fresh off of the success of his latest lip-sync battle, Jimmy Fallon has another viral hit on his hands with a recreation of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's iconic opening sequence.

Fallon filmed the video for the Tonight Show's week in Los Angeles, mimicking the Fresh Prince's move from Philadelphia to the West Coast.

It's a relatively faithful adaption of the show's original introduction, with members of house band The Roots filling in for Will Smith's basketball teammates and DJ Jazzy Jeff as the cab driver.

"A couple of guys, who were sick of the cold, said that maybe I should take the show on the road," Fallon raps. "[Announcer] Higgins packed up my bags, cause we're leaving today, he said, 'It's time to take the Tonight Show to sunny L.A.'"

Former Fresh Prince star Alfonso Ribeiro even shows up to perform Carlton's signature "It's Not Unusual" dance.
