There’s nothing like a musical recycling ditty to make you want to put your paper and aluminum in the correct bins.
Now, I don’t know a thing about this Rocko’s Modern Life cartoon show. According to wikipedia it often includes “double entendres, sexual innuendos, and social commentary”, but don’t worry, this clip is rated G for “general” and RA [...]
