| (EZ-Tracks) - Though everyone’s heard of “Ice Ice Baby” by Vanillia Ice, it would be mind boggling to try and imagine what the world would be like without it. Oddly though, things almost worked out that way. In 1989, Ice released his first LP, Hooked, with the single “Play that Funky Music.” His album, Hooked, did relatively poorly with “Play that Funky Music” as its main attraction, and if it weren’t for a local DJ that decided to flip the record and see what was on the other side, it’s quite possible that no one ever would’ve heard of Vanilla Ice. The song on the other side of “Play that Funky Music” was “Ice Ice Baby” and unlike the former, “Ice Ice Baby” was a monster success – garnering requests from radio stations everywhere for the rights to play that song. Vanilla Ice re-released his album as “To The Extreme” which went on to become one of the best selling rap records of the 1990s. Today, Vanilla Ice’s girlfriend runs a surf shop that goes by the same name as his original album. | ||||||||||||
