Music Video

The music video parodies the "I Love Rock 'n Roll" music video, with these differences from the original:

• It takes place in an ice cream parlor, rather than in a bar.
• It was shot in color rather than in black and white (although the Joan Jett original was shot in color initially).
• It was videotaped rather than filmed.
• In "I Love Rock 'n Roll", Joan Jett says "Ow!" twice for her enthusiasm. In "I Love Rocky Road", Weird Al says "Ow!" because he eats ice cream so fast that he gets a brain freeze. The second time he says "Ow!" because a kid comes up to him and bites his leg.
