"Funky Cold Medina" by Dash of Honey

 



First, the bad.

The intro of Dash of Honey's cover of Tone Loc runs about 30 seconds longer than it needs to.
The outro runs about 30 seconds longer than it needs to.
The guy singing has timing worse than Navin R. Johnson in "The Jerk." It's like he's reading the lyrics off of a cue card right after downing a vial of Zyprexa.
Then, the good.
The song contains a "Wooooo!" sample that I believe was lifted from Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines." And, it fits in so perfectly.
The lyrics remain unchanged. So that one verse still mentions Spuds Mackenzie and Alex from Stroh's, despite there being an ever-shrinking niche audience who still remembers and/or cares who they were.
