Whether Vanilla Ice ever payed royalities to Queen seems like an easily verifiable fact, but the only citation about that is to a student newspaper from 2006, for which the hyperlink no longer works. This should be double-checked.
"Vanilla Ice drew controversy by claiming that he owed no royalties for sampling "Under Pressure", citing one minor alteration to the bass line." I'm curious about this. Does the song actually sample Under Pressure in the classical sense of the word sample, i.e. it uses a digital recording of the bassline of that track, or is the bassline instead a post-hoc recreation, performed so as to mimic the original? Hmm? - Ashley Pomeroy 17:31, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
His other song 'Play That Funky Music' was a billboard hot 100 hit too, so I removed this from the one-hit wonder song list. Oreo 16-4-07
"A one-hit wonder is a person or act known mainly for only a single success. The term is most often used to describe music performers with only one hit single."
He's known mainly for creating Ice Ice Baby even though Play That Funky Music hit the charts. But if super cool Wikipedia wants to be literal, okay. -- 108.211.193.185 ( talk) 20:06, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
I've heard a stirring cover by a female vocalist in the style of Nina Gordon's simple, beautiful, frank cover of "Straight Outta Compton" - does anyone know who the singer is, or know what I'm talking about? Thatbox ( talk) 01:58, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
>>"Ice Ice Baby" was the second rap single ever to hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100, ...<< Wasn't it actually the third after Falco's rap "Rock Me Amadeus" in 1986? Compare: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Me_Amadeus and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falco_3
I'm very confused. I've tried several times to make sense of this passage, ...convicted felon and famous CEO of Death Row Records Suge Knight claimed his friend had written the lyrics to the song, and allegedly dangled him by the ankles over the balcony to get royalties from the song. Vanilla Ice has verified and denied this claim many times, first telling of it, then telling a toned-down version which involved him talking to Suge Knight calmly. He later said he has no regrets of the incident, because he claims it helped fund Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur. On 14th November 2007 he again claimed...that he was not dangled by the ankles over the balcony. It seems that the antecedents for he vary: Who was or was not dangled by the ankles? who is whose friend? who did or did not do the dangling? who has no regrets? who claimed again in 2007...? Pardon my ignorance, but can this passage be cleared up? Cheers, Lindsay Hi 13:16, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
This passage seems to have been cleaned up.. however it states Vanilla Ice won the court battle and did not release any money to Suge Knight... which is false. He also has claimed more then once that he had no regrets because the money Suge Knight/Death Row Records got from his song (as a result of this court settlement) funded some of rap's greatests, Tupac and Snoop Dogg. — Preceding

I think it is highly inadvisable to put the section for Jedward single under Ice Ice Baby. This single is not Ice Ice Baby at all, but rather Under Pressure with a mashup, a sampling if you will from Ice Ice Baby, that's all. The single should have been classified under Under Pressure and even better in a brand new page as it is distinct from both Under Pressure AND Ice Ice Baby. I am creating an independent page Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby) werldwayd ( talk) 21:57, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Why was the 'Cover versions' section deleted? -- Stevehim ( talk) 14:51, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
NFCC #8 - "Contextual significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." Song samples are treated as the same as album covers and are present in many (most?) WP:GA. -- NeilN talk to me 14:18, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
I added information on the Muller parody, the paragraph is quite short. Can I ask that people extend it and maybe add a couple images? THetardis123 ( talk) 18:28, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on

Authorship needs to be cleaned up and referenced. Floyd Brown performed as DJ Earthquake [1], this site says it was originally credited to Vanilla Ice and DJ Eartquake. [2]. No idea who K. Kennedy is/was. 18:58, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
The song Depicts the day in the life of a dealer out on the streets. Giving real life examples of all the highly stressful daily trials and tribulations one might routinely face. 2601:601:C880:F6F0:F0EE:A245:B851:503E ( talk) 01:40, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
What is concerning to me is how in this article there is no mention or reference to where the "Ice Ice Baby, Too Cold Too Cold" mantra originated from the first fraternity founded for black incollegiate men in 1906, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., as party chant amongst its members! Which has fortunately been documented in Spike Lee's School Daze Movie, that was released in 1988!! If this had not been the case,, I am certain that this history would have been denied by fans of the songs,, just as this article leaves this very crucial part of this history out of this article! 47.199.227.180 ( talk) 23:50, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
