Geocache Description:

This cache is thanks to http://coord.info/GC4GJ1Z Crackerjackie's JukeBox.


First off, I want to make this find VERY easy. The cache is at a dead end on Golspie Street.You are looking for a slightly camo'd 35mm film can with a hook. It is hanging on a branch about 4 feet off the ground, right next to the corner post of the fence. It is NOT in the planter or deeper into the tree. Do NOT park in the parking lot of the business, stay in the loop. It's a light industrial area, I'd recommend finding this one after hours.

-------

Now here's the story. I found CrackerJackie's Jukebox the day before I placed this cache. In sifting through the many jukebox options there, I found a card listing Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby". How could I not take that card? 

From Wikipedia:

"Ice Ice Baby" is a hip hop song written by American rapper Vanilla Ice and DJ Earthquake. The song samples the bassline of "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie, who did not initially receive songwriting credit or royalties until after it had become a hit. Originally released on Vanilla Ice's 1989 debut album Hooked and later on his 1990 national debut To the Extreme, it is his most well known song. It has appeared in remixed form on Platinum Underground and Vanilla Ice Is Back! A live version appears on the album Extremely Live, while a rap rock version appears on the album Hard to Swallow, under the title "Too Cold".

"Ice Ice Baby" was initially released as the B-side to Vanilla Ice's cover of "Play That Funky Music", but the single was not initially successful. When a disc jockey played "Ice Ice Baby" instead, it began to gain success. "Ice Ice Baby" was the first hip hop single to top the Billboard charts. Topping the Australian, Dutch, Irish, Italian and UK charts, the song helped diversify hip hop by introducing it to a mainstream audience. The song came fifth in VH1 and Blenders 2004 list of the "50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever."

Vanilla Ice's non stage name is Robert Van Winkle. His popularity rose and then fell as hip hop fans felt he was too 'white' and 'pop star'. His star fell further after Jim Carrey did a brilliant parody video on 'In Living Color'.
