Men in Black (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The song "Men in Black" was recorded by rapper and actor Will Smith for the movie Men in Black, in which he also starred. The song plays during the movie's closing credits. Will Smith raps about how the MiBs "Walk in shadow, move in silence" and play the role of "first, last and only line of defence, against the worst scum of the universe."
The chorus is taken from "Forget Me Nots" by Patrice Rushen. In a twist, the line "I want you to remember" is changed to "won't let you remember"—because the Men in Black use memory-erasing devices.
The song appears on the album Big Willie Style and reached #1 in the UK and German charts.
