This samples the 1980 song "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie, but Vanilla Ice never got permission to use it. No lawsuit was filed, but it is likely that Vanilla Ice agreed to pay Queen and Bowie if they agreed not to sue.

In 1991, Vanilla Ice was hit with the threat of a major lawsuit due to his hit song Ice Ice Baby. It turns out that the infectious beat of the song was stolen wholesale from the 1982 Queen and David Bowie collaboration, Under Pressure

Vanilla Ice wrote "Ice Ice Baby" with Queen's "Under Pressure" as the beat.

It was called Ice Ice Baby...that's the one Vanilla Ice sang. The original song was "Under Pressure" by Queen. He got sued and lost over it, too.

By Queens and it was called "Under Pressure." The baseline was pretty much the same with little tweeks here and there, but the beat you can say was identical. That Vanilla Ice!

David Bowie Ft Queen "Under Pressure". It is really far cooler than "Ice Ice Baby"

Hope that helps!
