Finish the lyrics: "Ice, Ice baby"
Last updated: September 10, 2024
I wonder if there’s anyone who genuinely only knows Vanilla Ice, aka Rob Van Winkle, from his home improvement TV shows. If you’re a fan of "The Vanilla Ice Project," you may be surprised to learn that his nickname isn’t just because he stays so cool even when there are problems on the construction site — he used to be a superstar rapper.
It’s not his fault he ended up taking so much blowback, and regardless of what anyone who made fun of Ice says, the dude had a no. 1 song.
“Ice Ice Baby” began life as a B-side for a cover of "Play That Funky Music". But the cover wasn’t well received, so DJ David Morales played “Ice” instead — and the rest is history.
This song was relentlessly played on the radio in the early ‘90s, and still pops up regularly today. The lyrics have probably been crammed into your brain by now… right?
