TV and Movies Mentioned in Lyrics:

"Ghetto Cartoon"
The Lyrics:
Donald had beef, so Mickey couldn't sleep.
Bugs Bunny had the props on the East Side spots
Goofy was Mickey Mouse right-hand man
Called Pixie and Dixie, two killers from Chicago
Huey and Dewey and Louie with a shot down Mickey Mouse Main-h* Minnie
Huckleberry had a Deputy, by the name of dog, eyewitness to the crime was Kermit the Frog.
Cause the shot that they missed hit his home-boy Elmer
So they called in the Feds, Beetlejuice, and Miss Piggy.
Quick Draw McGraw took two to the head
So Tom and Jerry stuck 'em on the way to the kitchen
But they both got smoked by Jabberjaw the Shark.
Why:
Mickey, Donald, Minnie, Goofy, Huey, Dewey, and Louie were in many Disney cartoons, movies, and shows such as "Disneyland", Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd were on "The Bugs Bunny Show", Huckleberry Hound and Pixie and Dixie were on "The Huckleberry Hound Show", Deputy Dawg was in "The Deputy Dawg Show", Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, though not cartoons were on "The Muppet Show", Beetlejuice was a movie and a TV Show, "Quick Draw McGraw" had a TV Show in the early 60's, Tom and Jerry were seen on Television many times, and "Jabberjaw" had a TV Show in the 70's.
