Ice Ice Baby (icebaby.mod)

When I saw the title, I just had to download it to see if someone had really taken the time to remake a song that deserved to stay buried forever (in hopes that future generations would forgive us). Alas, my worst fears are confirmed...oh, the horror, the pain! All it is is an instrumental of "Ice Ice Baby", and yes, it sounds (enough) like the original; if you enjoy these sorts of things, fine, but there's nothing here to recommend it, really. There is some fairly cheesy sample work going on here, and to make matters worse, much of this module relies on little snippets of the original instrumental to keep the pace. In addition, the synth is too short and ends abruptly in places it probably needed to be looped and the shaker/sandpaper-block sound in the intro is too low-pitched. Nothing too original or creative here, in short. If you want a quick (and rather painful) hit of nostalgia, download (it does bring about the possibility of adding filk/parody lyrics and re-releasing it - anyone up to the challenge?), but otherwise, don't waste your bandwidth...
