Quote related to 'Under Pressure' from 'Hot Space'

[Vanilla Ice] I'll tell you what happened. Our Fan Club lady heard it and she went out and found the record, brought it back and played it and said, 'Have you heard this?' I think it sounds like Under Pressure, and we thought, yes he definitely stole 'Under Pressure'. And I said, I don't think it's going to matter, cause no ones going to buy it, obviously, you know, it doesn't sound that good. And then... a couple of weeks later, it was number one in the US and a couple of weeks after that it was number one every place else in the world. So I'll admit my mistake. A big seller, it did very well, and good luck to the guy.........except that he should have given us some credit, and some royalties. But it's been sorted out folks because uhm, we didn't sue him but Hollywood Records did. Hollywood, who'd just spent millions of dollars on buying our catalogue said, ohy- ohy, this guy is pillaging the Queen catalogue, so we're going to make sure he pays, so they did. So now we get royalties on what he did with that track.
