I’ve heard “Can’t Touch This” and “Ice Ice Baby” more and more over the past few years. The question is, if MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice are retro-cool, why not Milli Vanilli? In an effort to fix this injustice I’ve dug up a piece of their golden musical past.
One look at this video and I think you’ll agree Milli Vanilli deserve to be remembered. There’s Oscar-worthy acting to set the scene at the beginning. Some Michael Jackson-rivaling dance moves (the running stomp is a piece of choreographed genius). And even MC Hammer’s parachute pants have a tough time beating the fashion sense of huge shoulder pads. You know it’s true.

Wow, that is incredibly bad! The feet stomping… the men’s capri-style trousers… the drummer with the mad hair… and to think that they weren’t recruited for their singing but for their… I don’t know, dancing abilities, sense of style?

I think they’re kind of cute. With a bit of practise they could be hired by a Bollywood studio for their dance sequences. One of them looks like René.

Who’s René? I hope you’re not insulting someone you know personally.
