“ICE, ICE, BABY”

“UNDER PRESSURE”

DIFFERENT? YOU BE THE JUDGE.

WHAT THE COURTS SAID . . .

It came to light that Vanilla Ice had sampled Queen and David

Bowie’s “Under Pressure” without consent or license. Ice Ice

Baby hit number one on the charts in the United States and

Vanilla Ice became the one ‘under pressure’. Vanilla Ice altered

the rhythm of the baseline thinking he would thereby avoid any

question of credit, royalties, license or even permission. This

case never went to court as it was clear that Vanilla Ice had

stolen the sample without permission. He settled out of court

with Queen and David Bowie for an undisclosed but very likely

very high amount. Ice Ice Baby has been released in many

different versions, since then, with all of the legal procedures

followed.
