All right stop, collaborate and listen

Is there another opening line that so energizes those people between the ages of 25 and 30? Does anyone else recall the days of "Go ninja, go ninja, go" and Arsenio Hall? In fact, if I were compiling a top 100 list of my memories, I'm not so sure that I could leave off the great scene from an early Vanilla Ice interview (also replayed in the Behind the Music special on the great white hype) in which Mr. Robert Van Winkle explained the key difference between Queen and David Bowie's song "Under Pressure" and "Ice Ice Baby":

"Their song goes bah-dah-dah-dadadada, bah-dah-dah-dadadada while mine goes bah-DAH-dah-dadadada-tin, bah-DAH-dah-dadadada-tin. It's that tiny little 'tin' at the end that makes it different."

Straight from the mouth of a genius.

my former idol

If you remember this, please let me know. Now, I thought I'd pass this along:


Implausible Claims
Made by Vanilla Ice
in His 1990 No. 1 Hit
"Ice Ice Baby."

"Ice is back with my brand-new invention."

"Turn off the lights and I'll glow."

"I rock a mike like a vandal."

"I'm killin' your brain like a poisonous mushroom."

"I'm cooking MCs like a pound of bacon."

"I go crazy when I hear a cymbal and a high hat."

"I grabbed my nine."

"I'm a lyrical poet."

"My style's like a chemical spill."

"If my rhyme was a drug, I'd sell it by the gram."

"If there was a problem, yo, I'll solve it."



Giving credit where it's due.
