Funky Cold Medina
"Funky Cold Medina" is a hip hop song written by Young MC, Michael L. Ross, and Matt Dike, and first performed by Tone Lōc. It was the second single from Tone Lōc's debut album Lōc-ed After Dark (1989).
The song title refers to a fictional aphrodisiac, which is presented in the accompanying video as a steaming love potion. The lyrics tell the tale of Tone Lōc's initially unsuccessful attempts to attract women. At the suggestion of a barman, he plies his intended with "that medina thing". He first tests the drink on his dog, who immediately latches onto his leg and attempts to have sex with him. Tone's subsequent encounters with women also backfire on him; first he attracts a transgender woman, and then a woman intent on marriage from the very first date (recounting his experiences on the game show Love Connection).
