Hippo Hop

It's great when you find a new word for a concept that previously had no word. The Chewbacca Defense, for example.

The latest one I can be grateful for is Hippo Hop, from a Family Guy episode the other day.
Lion: What kind of music do you like, Gloria?
Hippo: "Hippo-Hop!" Wooooh-hooo! Yeah, baby!
This term, to me, now refers to the inclusion of safe-for-whites hip-hop references in all the endless shitty animated movies out there, like the hip-hop flies in Racing Stripes. I'm sure there will be a hip-hop - or gasp! a rastafarian - penguin in that new animated penguin movie "Happy Feet" that they started working on last year when everyone was into March of the Penguins.

Update: Anyone think of examples? Rastafarian OR hip-hop?
