For pretty much the next decade and a half, I hear that opening bass line and groan. Here comes some radio dj going for the collective nostalgic groan.
Now we arrive at the modern day. I was listening to music from the Shrek 2 soundtrack. David Bowie backs some chick called "Butterfly Boucher" on a cover his song "Changes" (which I didn't realize was David Bowie's, but that's another story). I like David Bowie. "Heroes", "Man who sold the world", and the more recent "I'm afraid of Americans" have a really good feel to them. So I plug his name into my MP3 engine of choice and look around.
Bowie and Queen did "Under Pressure" together at one point. I get the MP3, and voila...there's that bass line. I really like this song. I just think it's a shame I had to take a fifteen year music odyssey from Vanilla Ice's sample theft to get here.

The first time I heard that Vanilla Ice song, I was at a dance club and I heard that opening bass.. I flipped out, "OMG like they are totally playing Bowie and Queen! FUCK YEAH!" So I dragged my friends to the dancefloor, and then I hear "Ice ice baby.."
I stopped dancing instantly and yelled "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT??"
We all went and sat down. The entire dance floor cleared.
(btw typing with a cat bumping your hand for attention is hard!)

Teehee. Which kitty, Nae? ^.^
I got to talk to him and I have his autograph.
I got in to Queen after I heard the song 'Ice Ice Baby' on the radio or on a commercial or something. I was listening to disc 2 of the Greatest Hits and then BAM! I hear the bassline and immediately laughed, recognizing that Ice Bizkit or whatever the Hell is name is stole that bassline, thus making him a douche...granted, other musicians do it and such but some at least try to mix it up. He didn't even bother.

Try it with 16 pounds of purring kitty of doom! Critter cannot be denied, when he wants attention, he wants it NOW!

Woody, he is super loving when he wants to be. He takes naps on the computer desks, and when he decides he wants lovin' he steals it from you. If you are using the mouse, he bumps your hand, if you are using the keyboard he bumps your hand.
He will keep bumping until you pet him.. if you don't he nips at you for being rude.

That line is so open to abuse!
Anyway, 'Deth should look up real Bowie. From the Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars days. He's a legend, and awesome.
His duet with Bing Crosby is one of the few Christmas tunes I like.

Anyone have "I'm Afraid Of Americans"?
I've wanted it for awhile, but it's been somewhat of a pain for me to find

If you can find it, grab the 2cd Best of Bowie cds.
Covers all his hits. I've got myself a copy, and I loves it so.

Set the way back machine to the early 90's. Vanilla Ice hits the scene with "Ice Ice Baby" and that really cool opening bass line. The rest of the song is stupid, and Vanilla Ice more or less goes away pretty quick. At the time, I was a music newbie and while I understood the concept of "sampling" it didn't occur to me to track down where Vanilla Ice stole the opening bass line from (keep in mind, this was before the internet was big).For pretty much the next decade and a half, I hear that opening bass line and groan.

Actually there's a one note diffrence in the songs if I do recall. But yeah, same deal. Bowie did some work with Reznor. Awesome shit you should check out.
