@@disneyworlddelights They didn't run out, it was settled out of court with Vanilla paying $4 M - AND Queen members as well as David Bowie's estate now have songwriting credits on Ice, Ice Baby - so he doesn't even have exclusive rights on his own song

Thanks for the post, Dean. Despite the light sarcasm in my previous message, there's no doubt about the non-music success that Rob Van Winkle (AKA-"Vanilla Ice") has been a part of over the years. He's clearly a smart guy as he's used people's pop culture/music knowledge of him to appear on a lot of different TV shows and projects over the years. He also appears to do a real good job of separating the "Vanilla Ice" persona from his past to the person that he wants to present himself to be today. So while I may not be an aficionado of this song or the culture it helped promote at the time, I do acknowledge and recognize that the artist is far more than just the song or attitude in this case and that's very redeemable. Thanks again for the post.

@user-lq4qe7pj9s These are facts. He has done well in his afterlife of Ice Ice Baby. Plus I'm friends with a couple of people who know him. And they have nothing but nice things to say about him, very humble.

He used the guitar riff from queens under pressure yes ,but you are right this was still a huge hit . He had to pay copyright to queen as a consequence . Today Robert is a very successful businessman ,not only in music ,but also in property and cars amongst other things . He took a lot of stick back in the day ,but he's a good bloke

Not even close

In music industry publication standards Rolling Stone and Billboard, it has been previously reported that the bassline for Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" was allegedly "inspired" by "Good Times" from Chic. Bernard Edwards, Chic's co-founder and legendary bass player, said in an interview, "That Queen record ("Another One Bites The Dust") came about because that Queen bass player (John Deacon)...spent some time hanging out with us in our studio." For anyone interested, there are many comparison and "mash up" videos on RU-vid (which I was not able to link without having this message not get posted) for people to decide for themselves. Just type "Good Times" and "Another One Bites The Dust" in the search box. I hope it may help.

“ inspired” by is not stolen. Apples and Oranges

@@karenj3611 Thanks for the reply, Karen. It's important to point out the initial response was that it was "not even close" that Queen may have copied "Good Times" for "Another One Bites The Dust," yet now it is a matter of "apples and oranges" regarding "inspiration." Anyone interested in this topic should listen to the mashups on RU-vid. To my untrained ears, it sounds as if just about EVERYTHING with "Another One Bites The Dust" fits as if they were puzzle pieces inside "Good Times." Even if this were true, we can agree that Queen was not treated properly as it pertains to "Under Pressure" and Vanilla Ice. It is just important to note that even some of the best bands and artists in the world are "influenced" by other groups and artists. Thanks again for the response and the communication on this topic.

I heard a story that Queen was jamming that in the studio in 1979, while Michael Jackson was doing Off the Wall in an adjacent room. They had no plans to do anything with this jam, but Michael said " you need to release that on an album". He loved it

Absolutely 100% agree. Plus, he was an absolute jerk on "The Surreal Life."

But he did write the song himself

World is not fair

He now owns both songs

Seethe. Cope.
