Although the main genre for these songs is Eurodance, it does have a considerable amount of Italian influence. This is especially prevalent in Dark Night Rider and It's a Rainy Day. But Think about the Way and It's a Rainy Day were so successful that many Eurodance fans still listen to them. In 1994, due to some legal issues, Ice MC separated from Roberto Zanetti and Alexia. In 1996, Ice MC struck back with a new album called The Dredatour. The hit song of the album was the pure Eurodance song Give me the Light, but the album itself wasn't particularly successful. After this, many thought that Campbell had caused irreparable damage to his career.
At the end of 2002 he decided to return to Italy and to contact Robyx (Roberto Zanetti) again. Together, they decided to realize a new project. Ice and Robyx started by writing some new material and, at the beginning of 2004, they withdrew into the studio to record a new album.
Laika
Ice MC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My name is Laika
My ambition is to be like a future astronauts
And to see more
If they dance on drive around the cars
Russia got me
They pull me into space
They say I came back but it's not sure
I am still here in space let me show you
Help me
Help me
Help me
I think you are all wrong
Why did you leave me ?
I am lost in space, you think it so easy?
I am a small dog and you are human beings
I wanna come back home
You know what it means
Help me
Help me
Help me
The lyrics to Ice MC's song Laika tell the story of a dog named Laika who yearns to be an astronomer and see more of the world beyond her current life. She is taken by Russia into space, and although they claim that she made it back, there is uncertainty surrounding her return, and Laika actually feels she is still in space. In the last part of the song, she begs humans to help her return home, as she is lost and alone.
The lyrics represent the tragic story of the real-life Laika, a stray dog from Moscow who was chosen by scientists as the first living creature to be sent into space. She was launched into orbit in 1957 and died a few hours later from overheating caused by an equipment malfunction. The song expresses the innocence and vulnerability of animals subjected to human experimentation and technological exploration, as well as their longing for connection and understanding.
The use of the refrain "Help me" emphasizes the plea for assistance and delivers a poignant message about the need for compassion and responsibility towards all living beings. The song also highlights the contradictions and complexities of progress and innovation, as well as the ethical dilemmas and consequences of technological advancements.

I was obtained by Russia
They pull me into space
They launched me into outer space
Can you imagine if you saw my little hairy face
Can you visualize how I, with my tiny furry visage, would look in space?
They say I came back but it's not sure
It is said that I returned, however there is uncertainty about the situation
I am still here in space let me show you
I am here in space and I can demonstrate that fact to you

I am a small dog and you are human beings
I am a diminutive canine and you are Homo sapiens
I wanna come back home
I want to return to my homeland
You know what it means
You know what the matter entails

Я - собака.
*My name is Laika *
Меня зовут Лайка.
My ambition is to be like a future astronauts
Я хочу быть как будущие астронавты
*And to see more *
И посмотреть,
*If they dance on drive around the cars *
Как они скачут в спешке вокруг своих машин
Russia got me
Россия поймала меня,
*They pull me into space *
И отправила в космос
*Can you imagine if you saw my little hairy face *
Вглядитесь в мою маленькую мохнатую мордочку Вы можете себе это представить?
*They say I came back but it's not sure *
Они говорят, что я вернусь , но как то не уверено,
*I am still here in space let me show you *
А я все еще в космосе, позвольте заявить Вам
*help me – (3 times) *
Спасите меня
*I think you are all wrong *
Вы все сволочи
*Why did you leave me ? *
Почему Вы бросили меня?
*I am lost in space, you think it so easy? *

Я-собака.
Меня зовут Лайка.
Моя цель-быть похожими на будущих астронавтов
И видеть больше,
Если они танцуют, объезжая машины.
Россия заставила меня,
Они вытащили меня в космос,
Можешь ли ты представить, если бы увидел мое маленькое волосатое лицо?
Говорят, Я вернулся, но не уверен,
Что я все еще здесь, в космосе, позволь мне показать тебе.
Помоги мне,
Помоги мне,
Помоги мне.
Я думаю, ты ошибаешься,
Почему ты бросила меня?
Я потерялся в космосе, думаешь, это так просто?
Я-маленькая собака, а ты-человек.
Я хочу вернуться домой.
Ты знаешь, что это значит.
Помоги мне,
Помоги мне,
Помоги мне.

They pull me into space
Can you imagine if you saw my little hairy face
They say I came back but it’s not sure
I am still here in space let me show you
Help me

Why did you leave me?

I am a small dog and you are human beings

Теплый летний вечер 90 г. Нам по 16 лет, на базе отдыха, гремит эта компазиция с танцплощадки, все молоды и живы.

Новогодняя вечеринка 90-91. Я танцую в широких штанах, какой-то светлой рубашке и федоре на голове при свете ночника.

С Ice MC в 1990 начался реп в СССР! Все мы помним Изи, Лайку и Скрим нетленные хиты начавшие лихие 90-е!
