I met Tone Loc once in a bar in Connecticut at like 1:30 in the morning. He was super nice and had a drink with my friend and I.

[@woolyvision]

Was it the Funky Cold Medina?

[@vonkarolinas]

Love to be that guy, but ,"my friend and I" is incorrect in this case. It is, "my friend and me." They really don't do enough to teach this, but the easiest way to remember this is to remove the other person. You wouldn't say, "He was super nice and had a drink with I." You would say, "He was super nice and had a drink with me." Adding your friend back to the scenario doesn't change I/me, thus "my friend and me."

[@ArtificialIyDeranged]

While you're correct, you're being pedantic here. It's obvious what they mean.@@vonkarolinas

I'm certain that Tone Loc would love this version as much as we all do. Awesome job! 🤘

[@DMJoeBing]

Fucking LOVE how, with a song made up of classic samples (Christine Sixteen by Kiss, Hot Blooded by Foreigner, Honky Tonk Women and (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones, Get Off Your Ass and Jam by Funkadelic, and You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet by Bachman Turner Overdrive), Leo STILL created something that sounds very new and fresh. This is EPIC.

[@larrybyrnes7694]

Yes, Christine sixteen. Im hoping for a video killed the radio star

We were all tinkering with our rigs, had all of our radios tuned in to same station. Funky cold medina was blasting, we was all singing and cutting up, brass monkey came out of his office hollering. Whats that dumbass singing about a fuckin coleman heater for? 😂😂😂 We lost it man.
