Anime with a character that changes genders when he/she touches water?
I saw it once on TV and the only thing I can remember is someone changing genders when he/she was dumped in water (presumably hot).
Can anyone match up these details to an anime series that might have this?
Thanks.

Ranma 1/2 Season 7, Ep. 151, The Kuno Sibling Scandal - Score
Adorable, goofy song.
Could someone tell me what the song is at around 7:04, where Kuno Tatewaki jumps Ranma to reclaim his album of girl-Ranma pics, on the bridge with Kodachi? It's hilarious.
