I imagine that sequence was a reference to the film The Hurricane which came out a year earlier made by John Ford. Just like a hurricane!' The cuckoo then breaks into a British accent, 'from the motion picture of the same name'. The cuckoo then walks out and remarks, 'Gosh - that's powerful snoring. The strong snoring appears to be so intense that the cuckoo in a clock attempts to step out of the clock but struggles to break through.
