It's Not Unusual was released by Tom Jones in 1965, written by Les Reed and Gordon Mills, and became his signature hit, reaching number one in the UK and the top ten in the United States. Decades later the song found a second life online thanks to the famous Carlton dance from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, where the character grooves to the track in a beloved recurring gag. That clip turned the brassy opening into a widely shared meme, and short trims like this one now circulate as punchlines, ringtones and reaction sounds across social platforms.
