c hild of the 70s here. THis song changed my life. Every night, i'd practice the dance moves, replaying it on VHS. Then, i went to nerd college before medical school and.... I was the only "nerd" that could dance. Got rushed by 3 fraternities in 2 hours after the first dance. I became crazy popular for a freshman and was the only freshmen they allowed to move into the fraternity. At the nerd school, when this song came on it, it was mainly all girls on the dance floor.....and me. It moved me out of my shy shell and I got my first girlfriend. TO this day, my fraternity brothers are my closest, most loyal, oldest, friends. I got to meet him just before the covid lockdown at a small concert here in town. It was a personal thrill and full circle for the uncool middle-aged man i've turned into.

Vanilla Ice did have Ninja Rap from the Movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Cool as Ice, and Rolling in my 5.0 and three hit movies, but his biggest contribution to Hip-Hop by way of this track actually through the royalitys from Suge Knight which funded and founded Death Row Records, which lead to signing Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and 2Pac. His hits may not of been as long as others but make no mistake he is a Hip Hop Icon. BTW he does have recent minor hits including My Way in 2012, and even more recently collaborating with Rick Ross and another track with Kodak Black.

I lived in S. Florida in that Era, everybody wants T- Top wheels including me😊. A1A is the street from Tallahassee to the Keys, great for T-Tops! Miami Vice styles 😅

The one bar so many people miss is when he sat"the kid don't play". At this time Kid and Play was big too and that was a shot at them. They play, but he doesn't. It's a great bar. 😂😅
