...what cartoons do, and not just the gag-strewn Shrek movies. Clampett's Horton Hatches the Egg has a Katharine Hepburn bird, a Peter Lorre fish (that commits suicide!) and the Horace Heidt novelty hit "The Hut Sut Song." Even the more restrained Jones ended his Horton with a twist on a twist of John Philip Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever."

...style shots and a glimpse of Ashanti feeling up a kitchen knife, the singer has a moment of clarity in the bathtub. At this point, the video begins to resemble Kelly Clarkson’s “Never Again,” but with a gangster twist.
