Tone Loc - Funky Cold Medina (1989)
**1/2 (of four)
The people at VH1 Classic are perverts tonight. First comes Stray Cats jailbait anthem "Sexy and 17," then two songs later, Tone Loc's ode to date-rape drugs, "Funky Cold Medina." Meet a hot girl out at the bar? Already bought her a couple drinks and nothing's happening? Slip her some Funky Cold Medina, and she'll be panting on you in no time. (Speaking of "panting," Tone Loc makes it clear in the first verse that Funky Cold Medina is effective on dogs, too. Makes them hump your leg and stuff. Just keep that in mind. I don't think that's something they mention on the label.)
This grainy-ass video just pretty much tells the story of the lyrics - hot girl succumbs to Loc's Medina in a bar, Loc's dog humps his leg, Loc unknowingly takes home a transvestite man and, my personal favorite, Loc ends up on "Love Connection" and has his date immediately chasing marriage. Other nice touches - the bubbling beakers of green Medina juice, the dialogue ballons ("Tone Who?!") and the guy walking down the club hall with a turntable-scratch setup hanging around his neck. Aged well? Why, no, it hasn't.
