AOBTD

I play bass, whatever you're playing, slide it into AOBTD and people will start singing.

And it's so easy I can do it without thinking :-)

"Vanilla Ice put an extra beat in Ice Ice Baby, so he didn't steal it!" Whoever said that is full of it!


Brian actually said something to that affect
in a Howard Stern interview (c. '93?).

I think UP edges out Dust by just a little.
You just can't beat the reasonably priced mosquito repellant OFF.
I'm sure he really didn't mean that he was okay with it!
That time will come, one day you'll see, when we can all be friends.
I would say Under Pressure is the most recognisable.

I don't think so, either.
I just think it was Brian being the "nice guy".

I downloaded the interview for school about 8 years ago.
Maybe it can still be found...?

Quite difficult to say isn it? Both of them are well known, but I must say Another One Bites The Dust because it just is better known in the world.
heyheyheyhey, it was the DNA...

It was the biggest hit in the US

i actually have AOBTD as my ringtone and i was choosing between that or UP and i thought if other ppl heard UP they'd think i had a vanilla ice ringtone...how wrong

the only problem i have with him ripping it off is that he did it blatantly...it wasn't even just the bassline, it was the piano and the snaps all together
He might as well have put david bowie in it too. What gets me is that none of the band members seemed angry and no one did anything about it

i know. but i think Brian heard it before it became really huge cuz someone played it to him and he thought it was crap and it wouldn't do well so he thought "why bother" maybe
