==Explanation==<br />
This comic is a take on the 90s TV series "{{w|Fresh Prince of Bel-Air}}" and its much parodied and repeated theme song. Consequently, the song coming out of [[Cueball]]'s TV right now is a take on that song. {{w|Doggerel}} is a derogatory term for verse considered of little literary value or a comic verse of irregular measure. And obviously, the song is updated with an {{w|Adele (singer)|Adele}} reference who is a very popular singer over the last year or so.<br />
<br />
"Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" is a 1939 Academy Award-winning movie. It is a fictional political drama. Mr. Smith is also a reference to Will Smith, the star of Fresh Prince.<br />
