10 Cheesiest Songs Of The 90s

10. Vanilla Ice - Ice, Ice Baby

What a way to start the decade. Released in 1990, Ice Ice Baby is an instantly recognisable 'rap song' most famous for its sample of Queen's Under Pressure. So why is it cheesy? Well, watch the video and listen to the lyrics; Vanilla Ice is the living embodiment of what was to come.

From the 'rap' lyrics (and they must always be done with air-quoted fingers) to the fade haircut and the choreography, it's a song that can't be taken seriously. Hip-hop was just finding its feet, with groups like Run-DMC, Public Enemy, Eric B. & Rakim and N.W.A pushing it into the limelight, and then along came Vanilla Ice with this little number.

Amazingly, it was the first hip-hop song to top the US Billboard Charts. Yep, no Biggie, Tupac or Dr Dre - just some guy doing an MC Hammer impression. Can't touch this!
