You know, when you're in elementary school, a lot of the content is a little bit more adult. KRISHNAMURTHY: As an adult, the lyrics kind of made more sense to me. Riding around in your jeep or your benzos or in your Nissans sitting on lorenzos. The weather is hot, and girls are dressing less and checking out the fellas to tell 'em who's best.

And I remember being a kid sitting in the back of the bus and just totally zoning out to this song.ДJ JAZZY JEFF AND THE FRESH PRINCE: (Singing) School is out and it's sort of a buzz.
