Singer/songwriter Stefan Murphy of the Mighty Stef posted this video on his Facebook, asking an important question I'm sure we've all wondered at some point in our lives: what would the Fresh Prince theme song sound like if it were a sad folk lament as heard in an Irish pub?

Her setlist included a version of her godmother Dolly Parton's "Jolene," NIN's "Head Like a Hole," and Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" (listen to it below).

Get over 35 hours of training on Raspberry Pi, Python, and ROS2 for just $50
Not everybody is wired to be a tinkerer. Some of us just want to push the on button, have a machine spring to life, do its job, and be done with it. But if you're someone who looks at that whirring, spinning machine and wonders how that's actually happening, then the Raspberry Pi is practically… READ THE REST
