The Doobie Brothers question became one of hot debate and the DJ clarified by saying... allright, allright ... the one I'm looking for was the popular one.

Do I get any bonus points for having Vanilla Ice's To The Extreme album on a cassette tape I bought in 1991? It has both his hit songs on it.

I never even knew Vanilla Ice did a cover of Play That Funky Music. The original was Wild Cherry though. :D

Not unless you consider social ridicule to be bonus points. ;)

The big hullabaloo over that one was that he didn't even credit Wild Cherry as the original artist. Instead, Vanilla Ice himself was listed the writer. Dumb on his part and seriously dumb for the record company in not catching it. The lawsuit cost them about 1.5 million... ka-ching!

How could they ever have expected to get away with that? The song was popular to the point of becoming a classic. :retard:

The main riff from Ice Ice Baby was stolen too, seems like they got in trouble for that one too. Guess they just figured what the hell.

I remember an interview he did....the presenter asked him what he has to say for himself about stealing the riff from Queen's 'Under Pressure'....stupid ass denied it & then tried to explain how his was different by imitating the two vocally with a series of du du du dudu sounds :rolleyes:

Alpha, Your last two guesses were correct.

I believe he won the lawsuit vs Queen and David Bowie based upon the addition of a single added noise in the riff which supposedly made it unique enough for whatever jury that heard it.

Hmmmm - maybe Squigg's was on that jury too........could be why they decided to keep him on this one ;)

Got any more questions? Doesn't have to just be musical trivia does it?
