The Fresh Prince of Bel Air's theme song has been heard billions of times since the show made its debut on Sept 10th 1990. Is there any other Hip Hop song as recognizable on a world wide level as the Fresh Prince's theme? Some people had the audacity to say Baby Got Back?
Is The Fresh Prince theme song the most recognizable hip hop song of all time?

Yes, since people who don't even listen to hip hop know it word-for-word......even if they don't understand English.

Off the top of my head:
1. Rappers Delight
2. LL Cool J "Mamma Said Knock you out"
3. Chorus to Snoop Dog's "What's my Name"
4. Kurtis Blow - "We're playing basketball"
5. Whodini - "Friends"
6. DMX - "Ryder's Anthem"
Edit: 7. Sir Mix A lot - Baby Got Back.
