crap i liked: vanilla ice

Seriously, what was up with those outfit, dude? Did you mom make that?

I remember the night before my first day in seventh grade, the local radio station played The Song of the Summer over and over and over again on a loop as a way to send us stupid kids back to school. I think the DJs used it as an excuse to get high in the booth or something. Anyway, that song was Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby. I loved that song back then.

About eight years later, I had a friend admit to me that part of his hazing to get in to a frat on campus included having to memorize that song. Sounds about right.

Yo DJ! Let's kick it!

Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby

By the way, this was back in the day where you were walking a fine line between getting sued and not getting sued. Totally different than today when Diddy just rips off another song by The Police for his latest crapfest. Anyway, Ice contended that he put an extra "dun" in his bassline so he wouldn't have to pay David Bowie and Queen any royalties. Judge for yourself.
