Sometimes I think about the culture shock I experienced moving from Minneapolis to Bismarck ND in the late 80s. Posted in: The Number Ones: Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby”

“Ice Ice Baby” gets ten out of ten microphones! Vanilla had fun recording it, you will have fun karaoke-ing it, and I truly hope that you can do tours of Miami, in a 5.0, following Vanilla’s route around the city or at least to A1A… Beachfront Avenue! And so you should, for “anything less than the best is a felony” and since the police have passed you up – and confronted all the dope fiends – you are clearly the best. When you cry out “I’m on a roll, it’s time to go solo” you will feel more confident than you ever have in your life. What do they mean? I have no idea! But they’ll feel good coming out of your mouth. You know all the words? We all know all the words! They are brilliant words! “Wax a chump like a candle”, “cooking MCs like a pound of bacon,” “killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom” There is not a line of “Ice Ice Baby” that is not a joy to say from “All right stop, Collaborate and listen” – the best possible way to begin a song – to “Let’s get out of here… word to your mother” the coolest thing you will ever say whilst swaggering off the stage as the beat keeps on rockin.’ Not only can you karaoke it, but you will rock the mic like a vandal!
