    This might explain why Vanilla Ice was pretty much a one-hit wonder, because he stole John Deacon's baseline riff. Word to your mother indeed.

      Timothy Love those of us who grew up with Queen (and David Bowie) could only viscerally hate Ice Ice Baby. Still makes me mad just thinking about it. Probably why so many of us who grew up on rock N roll had a hard time accepting rap as music.

    The look on your face at the start of the song was priceless! Even though you'd just read about the controversy, you were shocked when you realized just how blatant dumbass Vanilla Ice's thievery really was. That gave me my biggest & best laugh of the day.
    Also, Freddie's "call & response" was usually well into the show, so even though it sounds like a warm-up it was really his way of interacting with the crowd (and including them), which is something he really loved doing. Just one more thing that made the man so special.💙
    There's another variation on it at the start of the "Dragon Attack", Montreal '81 video. And the song is great too. Would love to see you react to it! And the studio version is so crisp (& funky) it'll knock your socks off.

Did he think nobody had a working memory that went back a few years? It's astounding. Oh, well. At least he gave lots of people a good laugh, both then & now.

Also, it's disgraceful, that Ice Ice Baby song. On a related note, Freddie does a great David Bowie here. Queen: the greatest band of all time!

      I thought the same thing.. I mean when someone who has never heard the Queen song under pressure but has heard ice ice baby to immediately be able to tell that it is the same exact music really tells you something.. something that Vanilla Ice should have known (My thought is that he probably did but didn't want to have to credit anyone so he thought he could get away with not crediting Queen)

    It was in fact Deaky who started the jam session with those legendary bass notes. They were just hanging out with Bowie in the recording studio when the notes came to Deaky and he grabbed his bass and played them over and over. Then they went for pizza..... and Deaky forgot the notes!! LOL! Luckily Roger remembered them, and when Deaky played them again the rest of the band and Bowie joined him and.... a masterpiece was born!

    What the hell was Vanilla Ice thinking? He stole a very prominent bassline from a world famous band's duet with another world famous artist, and not only a sample from the intro, but a refrain from the chorus complete with piano throughout the entire damn song! Did he somehow delude himself into believing that no one would notice? He just has to take a great big ole L on that one. hahahaha

      RM Worthington Lots of artists get bad advice and bad deals in music. Sampling in the 80s was a free for all and only in the 90s did artists start suing for credit.

      RM Worthington As I recall, he claimed the bass line for Ice Ice Baby was original because he added an additional note which sounded different to the rest so therefore he didn’t steal anything. Now, I’m not really a Vanilla Ice fan, I’ve never paid much attention to that song, but I’m pretty sure that bass line is note for note the same as Queens, so he is a really, really bad liar.

    I hated Ice Ice Baby so much when it came out because it was just one giant rip-off of this song. I think I remember years ago Weird Al hosting a special on MTV called "AL TV" where he played “Vanilla Ice's latest hit" and it was just Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin with an occasional "Yeah, boooooy" thrown in. Pretty funny.

    I have to apologise because I burst out laughing watching you melt down when Deaky started playing the iconic bass line. (You have to wonder how stupid Vanilla Ice is. All of Deaky's bass lines are great, but Under Pressure and Another One Bites The Dust are particularly iconic and so well-known.) That said, it was so honest and refreshing to see that reaction, and I love your reactions a lot. You do research and go into it with a clear mind. I have suggestions for you!

The minute an artist performs/creates/writes down chords in a certain order it immediately belongs to them but you have to have proof i.e. written score with dates, a recorded performance etc . Anyone can copyright something, just write/draw on a piece of paper and post it to yourself, post date mark is proof.

    To get the full effect of the Queen / David Bowie (pronounced: Bow-eee) collaboration, listen to the studio recording.

    The intro singing ? Freddie always did that with the crowd for a bit of fun . The bass line ice tea stole from this song was written by John Deacon (The bass player ) they went for a break and when they came back he had forgotten it but Roger Taylor (drums ) remembered it. The song just for a bit of fun was written between queen and David Bowie as he was in the studio and they decided to write a song. Best wishes from Liverpool UK peace.

    Yes, there were a lot of people at this concert...72,0000.
    Robert Van Winkle, better known by his stage name Vanilla Ice, wrote "Ice Ice Baby" in 1983 at the age of 16, basing its lyrics upon his experiences in South Florida.
    The lyrics describe a shooting and Van Winkle's rhyming skills.
    The chorus of "Ice Ice Baby" originates from the signature chant of the national African American fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha.
    Of the song's lyrics, Van Winkle stated in a 2001 interview that "If you released 'Ice Ice Baby' today, it would fit in today's lyrical respect among peers, you know what I'm sayin'?
    My lyrics aren't, 'Pump it up, go! Go!' At least I'm sayin' somethin'."
    The song's hook samples the bassline of the 1981 song "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie, who did not receive credit or royalties for the sample.
    In a 1990 interview, Van Winkle said the two melodies were slightly different because he had added an additional note on the "and" of the fourth beat, an anacrusis ("pickup") between odd-numbered and subsequent even-numbered iterations of the "Under Pressure" sample.
    In later interviews, Van Winkle readily admitted he sampled the song and claimed his 1990 statement was a joke; others, however, suggested he had been serious.
    After representatives for Queen and Bowie threatened a copyright infringement suit against him, the matter was settled out of court, with Van Winkle being required to pay financial recompense to the original artists.
    Bowie and all members of Queen were also given songwriting credit for the sample.
    In December 1990, Van Winkle told British youth music magazine Smash Hits where he came up with the idea of sampling "Under Pressure".
    However, Queen and Bowie weren't too happy about having their names associated with Ice, Ice, Baby.

    What's happening man. As an old school queen fan who saw them live a few times in the 70s I believe they are not getting the respect they are due as a hard rocking band. The internet is flooded with Queen reactions. But the tame songs, the made for radio songs. To really appreciate Queen you should also listen to (watch) the video "now we're here/liar live at Leeds 1977" I believe people would have an even better appreciation for them if they listened to early Queen also. There's a reason metal bands all liked Queen and consider them an inspiration. Thanks for the reactions I enjoy them. Peace
