Big Bowie and Queen fan for decades, and of all their work, this stands out as my favorite. It still makes my chest tighten every time I hear it. Powerful, evocative, and still relevant are the thoughts that come to mind.
Heard this song on the radio today for the 1st time. I initially thought it was the Vanilla Ice song (of course), then I recognized David Bowie's beloved voice and thought "What???" Then, I heard the other voice and thought, "Is that Freddie Mercury???" Two of the greatest singing voices EVER, in the same song. I had no idea this song even existed...and I thought I was a pretty decent Bowie fan. What a wonderful discovery on my way to work this morning! ;)
@EldarWrath its just one little beat that was sampled and then ice changed everything else....................he didnt still any of the other parts of the beat that the instruments plays with it
@brokl26 make no mistake, I love this song over vanilla ice but I think it's stupid that you can be charged for copying a riff. It's done all of the time, and there's only a limited amount of combinations of notes out there.
It doesn't matter who thought of it first, God ultimately created it. You can't copyright that....
Queen and David Bowie performed this originally in 1982, Robert Van Winkle (Vanilla Ice) had the bassline sampled from this song in 1989. He claimed at first that it was his idea, and he tries to justify this by saying that they're completely different due to an extra note.
This is a great tune and it's no surprise somebody ripped off the beat. Lots of acts (legitimately) sample Deacon's bass - a testament to his talent. Who cares about Vanilla Ice?
One of the best Queen videos ever made....and they dont even appear in it. I remember when you couldn't even turn on MTV without seeing this at least once a day. God I miss the 80's.
many in this situation world wide human's need 2 wake up
i fear we can't change enough... can we??? the minor trivial, so many argue there, how on earth do we expect 2 reach higher ground when can't even keep the lowlands in order???
Nobody can....Ice Ice Baby had Under Pressure written all over it. Vanilla Ice said there was one note added....True, but the rest of it was Under Pressure "sampling without permission".
Ahh, i dont give a shite really, what ye'all think, they dont make them like this anymore, the Freddies and David Bowie's of this world...they truly rock. Long live true music.
Are you stupid? How could you say, or even imply that QUEEN would rip a song off from anyone, let alone VANILLA ICE. You must be quite stupid. Under pressure - made 1981. Ice Ice Baby - made 1991. Stupid.
"What do you get when you mix the talents of Bowie and Queen? A cheap Vanilla Ice ripoff. Oh, wait a second..."
lol I thought someone just wanted to say that Queen rip-off this from vanila cum-ice. lol NEVER! vanila ice - arguably the worst rapper on this earth. always rip-off everything from everybody.
You have gotten it all wrong Ice baby is just a cheap rip off of the classic queen song. I mean it's not as good a Bohemian Rhapsody but it's a very good song.
Queen was not only a band, it was four great musicians who really did great lyrics and music. Freddie Mercury tooked the music by Queen to another level with his voice.
he was and still are the best singer in the world in all time. Freddie, bryan may, john deacon and roger taylor created perhaps one of best top ten bands in the world.
@TridgetLikeAPuma not really it was just that one beat that everyone notice's but no one pays attention to the beats in the back ground....................its more like sampling
no matter what age you are this song rocks (please dont say you like a song and your a certain age to make yourself feel special what makes someone like a song is personal prefferance)
ok people did you know that keane have done a cover of this song? their keyboardist says that Tom the singer's the biggest queen fan and even sounds like Freddie. I'll wait til I actually hear the song cos Freddie's UN-beatable.
