Funky Cold Medina
Tone Lōc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cold coolin' at a bar, and I'm lookin' for some action
But like Mike Jagger said, I can't get no satisfaction
The girls are all around, but none of them want to get with me
My threads are fresh and I'm lookin' def, yo, what's up with L-o-see?
The girls is all jockin' at the other end of the bar
Havin' drinks with some no-name chump, when they know that I'm the star
I asked the guy, "Why you so fly?" he said, "Funky Cold Medina"
Funky Cold Medina
This brother told me a secret on how to get more chicks
Put a little Medina in your glass, and the girls'll come real quick
It's better than any alcohol or aphrodisiac
A couple of sips of this love potion, and she'll be on your lap
So I gave some to my dog when he began to beg
Then he licked his bowl and he looked at me and did the wild thing on my leg
He used to scratch and bite me, before he was much much meaner
But now all the poodles run to my house for the Funky Cold Medina
You know what I'm sayin'?
I got every dog in my neighborhood breakin' down my door
I got Spuds McKenzie
Alex from Stroh's
They won't leave my dog alone with that Medina, pal
I went up to this girl, she said, "Hi, my name is Sheena"
I thought she'd be good to go with a little Funky Cold Medina
She said, "I'd like a drink," I said, "Ehm - ok, I'll go get it"
Then a couple sips she cold licked her lips, and I knew that she was with it
So I took her to my crib, and everything went well as planned
But when she got undressed, it was a big old mess, Sheena was a man
So I threw him out, I don't fool around with no Oscar Meyer wiener
You must be sure that the girl is pure for the Funky Cold Medina
You know, ain't no plans with a man
This is the 80's, and I'm down with the ladies
Ya know?
Break it down
Back in the saddle, lookin' for a little affection
I took a shot as a contestant on "The Love Connection"
The audience voted, and you know they picked a winner
I took my date to the Hilton for Medina and some dinner
She had a few drinks, I'm thinkin' soon what I'll be gettin'
Instead she started talkin' 'bout plans for our weddin'
I said, "Wait, slow down, love, not so fast says, I'll be seein' ya"
That's why I found you don't play around with the Funky Cold Medina
Ya know what I'm sayin'
That Medina's a monster, y'all
Funky Cold Medina
The song "Funky Cold Medina" by Tone Loc describes a man's struggle to attract women at a bar. Despite his fresh threads, he is unable to find someone to get with him. However, he hears about a secret from a man at the bar who tells him that putting some "Medina" in his glass will make the girls flock to him. He takes this advice and finds success with women, even his dog becomes irresistible to female dogs. The song then takes an unexpected turn when he brings a woman back to his place and discovers that she is a man. The overall message of the song seems to be that it's important to be careful and make sure you know what you're getting into, especially when it comes to love and alcohol.

I'm well-dressed and feeling confident. Why don't the ladies notice me?
The girls is all jockin' at the other end of the bar
The women are all hanging out at the other side of the bar
Havin' drinks with some no-name chump, when they know that I'm the star

So I threw him out, I don't fool around with no Oscar Meyer wiener

Instead she started talkin' 'bout plans for our weddin'
But instead of getting intimate, she began discussing the prospect of us getting married
I said, "Wait, slow down, love, not so fast says, I'll be seein' ya"
I had to slow her down and explain that I wasn't ready for such a serious commitment
That's why I found you don't play around with the Funky Cold Medina
Because of that experience, I learned not to mess around with the Funky Cold Medina
