@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT so people having preferences is politically incorrect. But it only goes one way, one group isn't expected to "like the other group".
The dog he mentions by name Spuds Mackenzie, pit/terrier looking dog that showed up at his door, was famous from a series of Budweiser commercials for a bunch of years back in the day.
Last night at my 7 yr old’s birthday party, i mentioned this song to my 40 yr and 38 yrs old sons. They used to play a dance to this with my now 44 yr old son who at the time was 12 or 13. They had so much fun, and of course mom(me) had to join in the fun. My sons were happy i remembered and we had some great memories around music.
Tone Loc is probably better known for his acting now than his rap career - he appeared in Ace Ventura, pet detective and Heat (Al Pacino/Robert Di Niro)
Marvin Young (aka Young MC) was born May 10, 1967 in the town of Neasden in London, England. His family left England and came to Queens New York near Hollis, home of Run-DMC. He began rapping at the age of 10 and continued honing his skills until he was signed to Delicious Vinyl in 1987 during his junior year of college. While completing his last 2 years at USC, Young MC helped write "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina" for Tone Loc. Wild Thing would sell nearly 4 million copies and Funky Cold Medina would sell well over 2 million copies.
Oran "Juice" Jones "The Rain" Remember that song y'all? "I saw u - and him - walkin' in the rain" Best lyrics were "You gotta get on outta here with that alley-cat-coat-wearing Hush-Puppy-shoe-wearing crumbcake I saw you with 'Cause you dismissed! 🤣🤣🤣
80sgamerlady....that is cool. I remember back in 70s as a kid I had both a Dorothy Hamill and Farrah Fawcet barbie. If only I knew then what I know now 😓. Dorothy even had a little ice skating rink.
Need a bit of Beastie Boys “Brass Monkey” to go with the Medina- and me and my best friend had our fair share of the Brass Monkey, when we were heavy into our partying days! 🥴 😅✌️
Funky Cold Medina was written in a little over an hour and Wild Thing was written in 35 minutes by a college student who left USC to start his music career under the name Young Mc, best know for the song "Bust a move".
In 1998 an elderly English jet fighter test pilot gave me a cassette with this song on it. He got a 2 for 1 deal direct from the artist in an L.A. Bar. Oscar Myer Weiner has been my polite go to descriptor for 33 years
Sample fest. Btw, "Funky Cold Medina" samples six songs: "Honky Tonk Women" by The Rolling Stones, "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner, "Christine Sixteen" by Kiss, "All Right Now" by Free, "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive, and "Jamie's Cryin'" by Van Halen. Can you catch them?
Badd Paddy Thank You for the insight. I have subconsciously heard it and noticed some but to have it as a whole in the comments brought it together and helped making listening more fun
As others have pointed out, it is Loc like coke or broke. Tone Loc is an often forgotten master and was extremely popular in the 80's. Check out these other oft forgotten rappers of the era: Curtis Blow "The Breaks" Eric B & Rakim "Paid in Full" Slick Rick "Children's Story" Big Daddy Kane "Ain't No Half Steppin'" And the Kings at Rock, Run DMC "It's Tricky", "It's Like That", "King of Rock", "My Adidas", "Bounce"
Look here my boy Jay in 1989 I was 29yo I lived in Paris TX there was a humongous country night club . The only hip hop they spun was funky cold Medina & wild thing. All the cowboys scoot a boot/danced to it. Hell ya good times look out
Tone Loc I just realized when checking out this reaction is like Lou Reed in that they both engage the listeners with story telling and infectious music 🎵
Loc pronounced Loke like Coke ... Shout Out to the Cute Pretty Girl in the Video, Who was Also in the music videos for Tone Loc - Wild Thing .. & .. Young MC - Bust A Move .. & ... Young MC - Principal's Office ... Young MC collaborated with Tone Lōc on the songs "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina". Young gained fame with the release of his single "Bust a Move", which reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance. "Principal's Office", was nominated for Best Rap Video at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards.
You should check out Bobby brown "my prerogative" and Johnny gill "rub you the right way" from around the same time period of music. Both were pretty big hits back then.
Cold Medina references a drink that was popular in Medina, Washington where they would mix cold medicine with liquor. I just found this on wiki. Never knew. Huh.
Waiting for that "Sheena" moment.....priceless.
Lol...it was perfection!! I knew he was stopping there...and then he had to run it back a little...
Awesome reaction Jay.
Same! 😂
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Sheena was Shaun. Ain't no "she" in this Sheena.
She?! Naa!
So how many people were waiting for Jay's reaction to the "Sheena" bit? I know I was! 😆
He almost missed it cos he keeps talking over the set-up lines.
he makes me laugh so hard
🤣🤣🤣
"This is the 80s and Loc is down with the ladies" That whole Sheena part is still hilarious and that reaction was 🤣🤣🤣
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT so people having preferences is politically incorrect. But it only goes one way, one group isn't expected to "like the other group".
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT That gay is cheating first!
Just FYI: Loc rhymes with smoke. Tone Loc with a long o sound.
Loki god of mischief is pronounced Low-Key
Loc is pronounced Low-k
Fun video, thanks

I still say I want a Spud Mackenzie dog🤣🤦🏽♀️
Spuds was a Bull Terrier.
Plus Alex from Stroh's.
He is really chill in person. I hung out with him and Humpty from digital underground one New Years. They were super down to earth.

You have kids who are 44, 40, 38 and 7?
Always be sure that 'Sheena, ain't got no Oscar Mayer Weiner'...natch.
I’ve been waiting for you to hear that Sheena line since Wild Thing. 🤣

Great song! Awesome beat, unique voice & very funny. You just gotta love this but you can’t mess around with the Funky Cold Medina 💯😜🤣

At least he had the hit Bust A Move.
My boyfriend nearly spit his drink out when the song said Sheena was a man. I cracked up at the face you made when you heard that as well!

'Cause you dismissed! 🤣🤣🤣
One of my all time faves!
I only know that song because of the SNL sketch about it a couple years ago.
YES!!
Yes yes yes 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
🤣🤣🤣
Funky Cold Medina was all about the beat and that baseline. Oh yeah. That baseline...😎
Dam this song was at all the clubs in the day. Sometimes 2 or 3 times a night.👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎💖💖
*Jayvee* I suspect you're too young to know who *Spud MacKenzie* is...
Dude, I was waiting to for it !! Too bad he didn't know the reference..... They really gotta bring Spuds back!! Just saying... :)
I miss Spuds 😓
I had a Spud stuffed animal as a kid 😂 I feel old now...
Alex from Stroh’s too.

That funky monkey!!!
I know this is three years old for your reaction, but you are so adorable!!!!!
Used to do aerobics to this...sit ups and crunches. The beat is perfect but my word you couldn't wait for the end.
It’s so funny when you get your WTF face! 😂
I'm showing my age, but Tone was my dude back in the day man... He was doing music, movies... he was great.
80’s/early 90’s had THE BEST dance tunes! Jammed to all of these at Keesler AFB and the clubs off base! BEST SONGS !
😁 That guitar riff was sampled from the song Hot Blooded by the group Foreigner.
One you will love is Biz Markie "Just a Friend". Great fun.
Still one of the greatest voices
Funky Cold Medina was written in a little over an hour and Wild Thing was written in 35 minutes by a college student who left USC to start his music career under the name Young Mc, best know for the song "Bust a move".
@Jayvee Oh you don’t need any “Medina” hun. Cause you’re already cool like that. 😉
Oh you just gotta give a listen to “The Breaks” by Curtis Blow and “Rapture” by Debbie Harry .
Blondie. "Rapture" is by Blondie.
Man this is another great song. The beat always got me going. You don't want no funky Cold Medina 🤷. I miss ole Spuds McKenzie 😓
The guitar riff is from the Rock group Kiss 1978 song Christine Sixteen
We was jamming back n the day💜
Hey J, I just noticed your at 150,000 Congratulations. Can't wait till you hit a million!! ❤
@4:05 When Jay discovered "Sheena" was a man!
"Ohhhh. 😮"
Priceless reaction!
Back in ‘89 when the Calgary flames first won the Stanley Cup, there was a song made to the music of this song called flamin c arena.
I would have been surprised, but I am 47 years old and grew up with this song. 🤣
Seriously! I nearly fell off the bed laughing and almost dropped my iPad when you caught the Sheena bit! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My maiden name is Medina..back in the day my friends always sang this to me lol 😆
In 1998 an elderly English jet fighter test pilot gave me a cassette with this song on it. He got a 2 for 1 deal direct from the artist in an L.A. Bar. Oscar Myer Weiner has been my polite go to descriptor for 33 years
His name is Loc, sounds like Coke. He recently played here with Vanilla Ice. That was a fun show!
haha this was my high school era…our junior prom theme was Bust A Move..the grown ups must not have known the lyrics 😂🤣😂
the long sample with the riff and drum part is Christine Sixteen by Kiss. The samples on Wild Thing are from Jamie's Crying by Van Halen
Love this song🤘 Love his voice😎
Yes. This man has a wonderful voice. 💜
Sample fest.

The Kiss riff was written by Eddie Van Halen, Ace Frehley played the riff.
Jamie’s Crying is in Wild Thing
Loke, rhymes with Coke.
It was so random when he was in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
And The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 I loved that movie
And blank check
Watching a black guy with black sabbath shirt drinking protein drink while watching such a classic is sooooo hilarious... Made my day!

Like others have said, his name is said Low-k to rhyme with coke. 🙂
Omg, the 80s! I forgot Spuds MacKenzie was in this! 😝 Then there was Sheena! 😄😄😄 Just pure fun! Love this!
