Let’s see Gov. Rick Perry’s campaign manager, Rob Johnson, or U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison’s campaign manager, Terry Sullivan, try this.

Penny Langford Freeman, GOP gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina’s campaign manager, was videotaped at a political event performing a version of Tone Loc’s “Funky Cold Medina,” rewritten to tout the activist’s candidacy. You can see the video here.

Wearing a baseball cap backwards and uttering plenty of “Woos” (along with a “Break it down” and “I can two-step to this, you know”), Freeman entertained with lyrics including:

“So if you’re happy with your government,

Then vote that same old game.

But career politicians are driving me insane.

I’m doing something different,

Gonna vote the real solution.

We’re gonna rock the state of Texas for the Constitution.

We’re gonna take it back and make the government much leaner.

Fight the Texas revolution,

Governor Medina.”

Freeman was not the only one moved to music by Medina’s candidacy. Houston Chronicle reporter R.G. Ratcliffe also found a video by a supporter who performed these lyrics to the tune of B.W. Stevenson’s 1973 top 10 hit “My Maria”:

“Ah Medina,

I really like what you have to say.

I’ve been owning my property.

Don’t want no government trying to take it away.

Ah, Medina.

You were sunlight in these cloudy skies.

I’m a simple American and I’m sick of all of these lies.

Mediiiiiiiiiinna,

Mediiiina,

Mediiiina,

Medina, we want you.”

Hey, anyone can write a check. Writing a song? That’s commitment.
