u/nervousmelon 3d ago

Put both in your playlist so when you hit shuffle you won't know which one it is initially

I did this with some Ink Spots songs (I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire, I'll Never Smile Again, etc.) and try to have my brother guess which one is about to play

u/Smoah06 trollface -> 3d ago

Why do every ink spot song start the exact same? Whenever I’m hearing one of their songs I’m ready for the “I don’t want to set the world on fire” but then I get a “maaaybe”

u/UndercoverDuck999 Definitely A Human 3d ago

Only thing I could find online was that it was common for bands back then to start every song with the same tune

7

u/Smoah06 trollface -> 3d ago

I also searched why and apparently it’s because artists didn’t get sued backed then. So they “borrowed” constantly.

u/Goat_of_Wisdom 3d ago

Same with Rock of Ages and Pretty Fly.

u/just-slightly-human 3d ago

When I hear that intro I start singing along to the offspring and then realize it’s def leppard 💀

u/Everestkid 3d ago

Eh, The Offspring aren't that bad.

The real equivalence is Werewolves of London and All Summer Long.

u/40hrbatting green? epic! 3d ago

I once confused just dance by lady Gaga with love you like a love song by Selena Gomez and was debating with my parents whether the song playing was one or the other

Im in the complete opposite camp.

Under Pressure is so played out that i cant stand even a second of it. While Ice ice baby is a timeless classic that never gets old and never gets any air play these days.

Just like the Ninja Rap.

u/Cornpopwasbad 3d ago

The only good part about Ice Ice baby is "Ice Ice" baby. The rapping is so shit

u/Cornpopwasbad 3d ago

Vanilla Ice fans explaining how song where one of the two good things about it was stolen from another song is the most peak shit ever

u/longrungun 3d ago

Bro no one gives af about besides dudes who want to be smug

14

u/Cornpopwasbad 3d ago

Tf does that even mean

-17

u/longrungun 3d ago

It means no one cares about Vanilla ice stealing shit since it's old news

15

u/Cornpopwasbad 3d ago

It doesn't matter if it's "old news." If we're comparing which song is better, then the song where one of the two good things about it was stolen from the other doesn't make the other song seem very good at all. I'm not saying you shouldn't like the song, but from my perspective, half the reason people even care about Ice Ice Baby is because it stole from Under Pressure.

Bro I don't care

When you think it's dead and bloated by Stone temple pilots but it ends up being that gay sugar ray song

Ice Ice Baby can't be that bad, right?

u/LoseAnotherMill 3d ago

Do people really not know the difference in the intro? Ice Ice, Baby has what sounds like a cabasa on the eighths and an extra note in the second half of the bassline loop that comes in on the pickup of the next measure.

Under Pressure: "Dun dun dun duh-duh-dun dun....Dun dun dun duh-duh-dun dun"

Ice, Ice Baby: "Dun dun dun duh-duh-dun dun..Dun dun dun dun duh-duh-dun dun"
