Snow Rap: Bet Your 'School's Closed' Announcement Wasn't This Funny

World's worst rap song delivers every kid's favorite news: No school today!

Students everywhere welcome that email or text officially canceling school, but wouldn't it be even better if your principal notified you with a remake of Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby?"

That's exactly how some kids in South Carolina got the news Wednesday.

The video is equal parts terrible, adorable and endearing. You can—and should—watch it above.

Nontraditional notifications seem to be spreading: A superintendent from Roxbury, NJ, helped warm up his district when he announced his school cancellation with some help from a school choir.
