Brandon Flowers' boys got retinas tingling with an awesome performance of their hit Spaceman to kick off the Vodafone MTVAAs.

There were lasers, there singalongs - damn, there was even a Brandon Flowers sweaty top lip.

But it was Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz who really got the crowd excited with a hook-up to end all hook-ups.

In the past, the Fall Out Boy belter has collaborated with rap royalty Kanye West and T.I and Hollywood-star smooching John Mayer, to name but a few.

But tonight, and rocking a mic like a vandal, the punk hunk of spunk bounded on stage with... Vanilla Ice.

Heaping added oddness on to the spectacle, the pop-rocker appeared in a pair of AC/DC-inspired schoolboy shorts.

Performing retro rapper Vanilla's age-old classic 'Ice, Ice Baby', the pair truly "lit up the stage" and "waxed a chump like a candle".

Don't ask us; ask the Ice. After all, he was the one who said, "If you have a problem, yo I'll solve it."
