I am stating it on a "then" point of view- not like I enjoy it now. Also on a general popularity view, as well. That song sold really well.

Oye! Kids today and the <b>Noise</b> they listen to!
Pardon my curmugeonry. It's just that Ice Ice Baby was the song that focussed attention on sampling for me (Grandmaster Flash slid completely under my radar for a long time.) and sampling is a pet peeve of mine. No one has yet been able to convince me that facility with a tape deck is a musical talent, so I give my props to the song sampled, not the sampler. And Under Pressure is a really, really good song.
Nevertheless, you have one thing right, for people of a certain age, that song is freighted with positive association.
