[Music]
describing the group as fun-loving
stamps were just misunderstood the
song’s lyrics also carved a band a small
niche and sixties counterculture
ironically lead singer Micky Dolenz was
the only member who took part in
recording the theme and the bad never
performed it live in fact bassist Peter

my friend with this based on a sample of
under-pressure signature bass lines the
words vanilla and ice appears throughout
the song but never in the right order
instead mr. Van Winkle addresses
themselves simply as ice a word which
also makes up most of the chorus the
song is meant to show how cool vanilla
ice is with the ladies and how calm he
is under dangerous situations such as
driving past drug addicts firing their
guns near a busy Miami Street which was
supposedly based on a real-life
experience
close the mouth his mom’s today with a

Lopez featuring Jadakiss and styles pee
[Music]
success in music and film in the early
2000 Jennifer Lopez was a rising star
but she wanted to reassure fans and it
didn’t all go to her head this song from
her third studio album is about her
roots growing up in the Bronx and
despite the wealth and attention she’s
currently enjoying Lopez is still
grounded and real just like the girl she
used to be however the message of
humility may be undercut by Lopez
constantly repeating her name throughout
the song well that and whatever Ben
Affleck is doing to her but number two
you can’t touch this MC Hammer hip-hop
artist Stanley Burrell got his nickname
hammer from his days as a batboy for the
Oakland A’s because one of the players
thought he looked like the hammer Hank
Aaron when you’ve got such a powerful
name as hammer you can’t help but drop
it more than once
hammer assures us his name is synonymous
with heights and with those dance moves
and parachute pants who can argue
[Music]
what’s perhaps the best contributions of
pop culture hammer makes with this song
is the phrase hammer time for his
energetic performance in the song and
the hammer won two Grammys for Rap solo
performance and R&B song earning him a
permanent place in pop culture for
better or for worse
