RDP Wednesday - "Funky" #prompt #writing

When I saw this prompt, the first thing that popped into my head was the song, "Funky Cold Medina." And here's the thing, I know NOTHING about this song other than that one single line. Seriously. Nothing. Yet, I know this song exists. I know exactly how that one line is sung. But who sings it? Ain't got a clue. The rest of the song lyrics? Nope. What the heck is a "Funky Cold Medina?" Your guess is as good as mine. 

So, I decided to do a little digging and figure it out. What is a "Funky Cold Medina" and why did I sing it without knowing anything about it? (Because apparently, that's what we tend to do...not listen to full lyrics, but dance to the beat, and hit that one famous line when the timing is right). 

Off to research...

*Insert lots of laughter here as research as been completed. OMG* 

Okay, okay...as I read these lyrics I'm not quite sure what to make of this song. It's...well...different. *still laughing* It does have some comical aspects to it, which makes me chuckle. Ummm...the song is basically the desire to use a quick fix magical potion to make yourself irresistible to the opposite sex with some chaotic and funny consequences for doing so.  

So, for your listening and reading/lyric pleasure (though be fair warned), here is "Funky Cold Medina" by Tone-Loc:
