It’s too bad she didn’t have a Lil Wayne or George Michael routine ready to go, or this KTLA anchor could’ve been filling programming time with even more dance routines with a crime news peg.

It’s time for another edition of a new feature we’d like to call “Lyrics Re-Examined,” in which we take a song that may once have been poignant and topical, extract a verse out of context, and admire the way in which its outdated lyrics now carry a whole new meaning.
Today’s Example: “Ice Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice
Dance, bum rush the speaker that booms
I’m killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it you better gain weight
You better hit bull’s eye the kid don’t play
In-Depth Analysis:
THEN: Vanilla’s on top of his game, winning awards for his “brand new invention” of crappy white-guy rap music.
NOW: Vanilla becomes a cautionary tale the new spokesperson for TurboTax.com
CONCLUSION: If “anything less than the best” is a felony, then Vanilla’s looking at some pretty serious jail time.
