Imagine ushering in 2026 surrounded by chandeliers, champagne, and
Vanilla Ice rapping Ice Ice Baby next to a dancing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
Thats the scene that unfolded at Donald Trumps lavish New Years Eve party at Mar-a-Lago, and one short video clip from the night has the internet in absolute meltdown mode.
Posted just hours after the ball dropped, the footage shows political power players letting loose in ways that have sparked laughter, eye-rolls, and a whole lot of secondhand embarrassment. If you havent seen it yet, buckle up its the kind of moment that makes you question reality.
The Clip Thats Got the World Talking
It starts with Vanilla Ice in full performance mode, mic in hand, as the Ninja Turtle busts moves behind him.

Plus the vibe there looks like every cringy wedding reception you've ever been to.

(4,817 posts)Songwriter Ron Parissi of Wild Cherry eventually prevailed in his claim for royalties, at least that is what I recall learning from watching a segment on a television music channel.
Wild Cherry is from the Youngstown - Mingo Junction, Ohio, area.
We here in the Western Pennsylvania - Eastern Ohio area do not take kindly to song plagiarers.
Of course, VI notoriously ripped off Queen's "Under Pressure" which features a co-vocal by David Bowie.
