Interestingly, Carrey’s “Ice Ice Baby” parody is featured on the official Vanilla Ice YouTube channel, which means even Vanilla Ice himself enjoyed it. The original “Ice Ice Baby” was a groundbreaking song. It was the first hip-hop track to top the Billboard’s Hot 100 and became a global hit after its release in 1990. The song is also known for sampling the bassline from Queen and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure.” Although Vanilla Ice didn’t credit them at first, the issue was eventually resolved.
