Ding Dong the Ike is Dead

Thats a horrible way to speak of the dead actually. BUT, I have a vivid memory of one of my favorite childhood movies... not 'Alice in Wonderland', but 'Whats love got to do with it' the reinactment of Ike and Tina Turners relationship. Myself and maybe 5 of my little cousins would park our innappropriately young asses in front of our tv, and play the VHS (which was a recorded version of when it was on TV so commercials included ladies and gents) and sing every song, act out every fight and cringe at every blow Ike turners Character (Laurence Fishburne) threw heartlessly at Tina's (Angela Basset). Since then weve sworn to Carve that fucker's 'Tail feather' out if we ever saw him in person.
