Ice Ice Baby has a pickup in the phrase that isn’t in Under Pressure. It’s an easy way to know what’s coming. It’s how Vanilla Ice won against Queen’s copyright infringement lawsuit.
I heard him defend it in an interview once. This is legit what he said: "Under Pressure goes ‘but duh duh duh duhduh duh dum. Buh duh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum.’ But Ice Ice baby guess ‘but duh duh duh duhduh duh dum. Buh duh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum tss.’
That was so silly. I mean, it was a sample. That’s the fundamental basis of hip hop. There’s no shame in it. Why would he try to pretend it was anything different?
Tbf, he later admitted that saying that was stupid.

Holy shit somebody else that saw that interview. It always crosses my mind.

Ah yes, the lollipop guild defence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_HBmZuJlHs
Not quite. Turns out Van Winkle bought the rights to the song, and shares in the royalties with Queen, to avoid going to court.
I remember hearing the opposite a long time ago. Thanks for the correction!
It’s a shitty rip off from a musical standpoint. I’m glad he has to pay.
