what is the song funky cold medina about?
a fictional aphrodisiac
the song title refers to a fictional aphrodisiac (described as a love potion) which is presented in the accompanying video as a steaming potion. the lyrics tell the tale of lōc's initially unsuccessful attempts to attract women at a bar. another patron confides that the secret of his success with women lies in the drink "funky cold medina". later, lōc tests the drink on his dog, who immediately attempts intercourse with lōc's leg and attracts all the other dogs in the neighborhood. lōc's subsequent attempts to use the drug backfire on him. he successfully targets a person who, unbeknownst to him until the couple undress, turns out to be a man. next he wins a date with a woman on the game show "love connection" who becomes immediately intent on marriage. in the end, lōc concludes the concoction is simply not worth the trouble and the video shows him regretfully emptying the bottle into a storm drain.
