To give Jessica Rabbit her unusual walk, her supervising animator Russell Hall reversed the natural up-down movements of her breasts as she walked: they bounce up when a real woman's breasts bounce down and the other way around.

Some music trivia I read about, can't remember where...
"Tube Snake Boogie" by ZZ Top, is not about what most people think it's about. While visiting Australia, the American rock group got a chance to see the Australian Women's Pro Surfing Team in action. Here in the U.S., riding a wave that curls around the surfer is called "riding the pipe" or "pipelining" or words to that effect. In Australia, they call it "snaking the tube" or "tubesnaking". Hence, "Tube Snake Boogie", dedicated to the lovely lady surfers from down under.
This is the explanation that was given; how "accurate" it really is, is still under debate.

Random Trivia for the day:
Van Halen once actually had a rider that read there must be a bowl of M&Ms backstage, but with all the brown ones removed. The reason was to make sure that the entire rider (which included measurements for the band's large and heavy stage set) had been read and followed. Sure enough at Pueblo, Colorado show, the rider wasn't read and the staging crashed through the floor. This lead to the urban legend that the band flipped out and intentionally caused $80,000 worth of damage themselves all because they found brown M&Ms....
This story was twisted in Wayne's World 2, which Dell constantly repeats...
