GLACIER ICE, ICE BABY

Pete Roffers, 1990

Note: This song is about a really mean glacier. It is a parody of "Ice, Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice, which "borrows" the melody of "Under Pressure" by Queen. It is to be sung in the ever-popular style of rap legend Vanilla Ice (please note sarcasm). For added enjoyment, give extra emphasis to words in bold.

CHORUS: (Music chimes in)

Glacier Ice, Ice Baby

Glacier Ice, Ice Baby

Verse 1

Yo, stop! Correlate and measure

Ice is back with a brand new pleasure

Servin' up, those kettles and kames

Drumlins and tills, layin' moraines

Rollin', through valleys and hills

A face so steep it'll give you chills

Will it ever stop? Yo-I don't know

It's hard to tell with this rate of flow.

If there is a problem, yo, I'll solve it

Check out the book while my TA resolves it

(CHORUS)

Verse 2

I was diggin', through layers of snow

Measurin' flow rates head to toe.

Pebbles on the scene- you know what I mean?

Yo, what a thrill- I made it to till..... [Did you stop?]

(Pause)

No-I kept on diggin', through layers of sand

Cobbles and stones from across this land

Fabric patterns- yo I can tell

This glacier's so mean, must have come from hell.

(CHORUS)

Verse 3

I was cruisin', from wall to wall

Lateral moraines a hundred feet tall

Braided streams-outwash hauling

All I could hear were boulders-falling

And ice tunnels rushing

Eskers forming, Nye channels gushing

Ice flow to ice flow the lake is packed

Yo man, let's split - this glacier is stacked!

If there is a problem, yo, I'll solve it

Check out the book while my TA resolves it.

Yaaaa...
