It’s the terror of knowing what the song will be about
Ice Ice Baby has a pickup in the phrase that isn’t in Under Pressure. It’s an easy way to know what’s coming.
It’s how Vanilla Ice won against Queen’s copyright infringement lawsuit.I heard him defend it in an interview once. This is legit what he said: “Under Pressure goes ‘Buh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum. Buh duh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum.’ But Ice Ice baby goes ‘Buh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum. Buh duh duh duh duh duhduh duh dum tss.’” That’s a whole new work of art, guys! Like if I copied the Mona Lisa, but gave her like a strand of hair hanging down over her eyes. Artistically and legally distinct!
Holy shit somebody else that saw that interview. It always crosses my mind.
That was so silly. I mean, it was a sample. That’s the fundamental basis of hip hop. There’s no shame in it. Why would he try to pretend it was anything different?
Tbf, he later admitted that saying that was stupid.
Ah yes, the lollipop guild defence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_HBmZuJlHs
Not quite. Turns out Van Winkle bought the rights to the song, and shares in the royalties with Queen, to avoid going to court.
I remember hearing the opposite a long time ago. Thanks for the correction!
It’s a shitty rip off from a musical standpoint. I’m glad he has to pay.
Looks like they probably share publishing rights if you read closely.
“Queen fans” is a perfect double entendre here.
There’s something worse, but only the UK was fully steeped in its horror.
I opened that in a private window so my google account wouldn’t get sullied by its eldritch horror.
What. The. Fuck.
Thank you, I enjoyed that.
I know that Shrek is all about parody of fairy tales and princesses. But I don’t know what story that character came from. It’s much appreciated if someone can give me an explanation. Thank you.
Cinderella. One of the 2 “ugly stepsisters”.
I don’t recall totally how they’re used in Shrek, but I’m pretty sure it’s from the “transphobic trap” story. When Shrek was made it was perfectly acceptable (maybe even encouraged) to make fun of trans people and to call them traps.
Sorry for the slur if it offends anyone, but I’m pretty sure that’s what this trope is.
I just don’t find males attractive. I don’t find male genitals attractive.
OK. How is that relevant.
Nice transphobic meme format you got there, very cool
Oh wow your post history is just a dumpster fire huh?
