Like so many songs in that erar. Close, but, you know…

Just a guess: “I love rock and roll! So put another dime in the juke box, baby!”

Weird Al always had a lot of fun with his parodies!

I love rocky roadSo weren’t you gonna buy half a gallon, babyI love rocky roadSo have another triple scoop with me, ow~Weird Al

Barry Manilow’s Looks Like We Made It: my Mom thought it was “looks like tomatoes”

Mine was kinda close. Aerosmith sang “walk this way”, I sang along, “watch her sway”

He’s just singing the Weird Al version ‘I Love Rocky Road’ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=beTsDOBRs8I

… I saw him dancin’ there by the record machine

I knew he must’ve been about seventeen

The beat was goin’ strong

Playin’ my favorite song

An’ I could tell it wouldn’t be long

’Til he was with me, yeah me

And I could tell it wouldn’t be long

‘Til he was with me, yeah me, singin’

… I love rock ‘n’ roll

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

I love rock ‘n’ roll

So come an’ take your time an’ dance with me

… He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name

“But that don’t matter”, he said, it’s all the same

Said, “Can I take you home where we can be alone?”

An’ next we were movin’ on

And he was with me, yeah me

Next we were movin’ on

And he was with me, yeah me, singin’

… I love rock ‘n’ roll

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

I love rock ‘n’ roll

So come an’ take your time an’ dance with me

… Said, “Can I take you home where we can be alone?”

An’ I could tell it wouldn’t be long

’Til he was with me, yeah me

And he’ll be movin’ on

An’ singin’ that same old song

Yeah, with me, singin’

… I love rock ‘n’ roll

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

I love rock ‘n’ roll

So come an’ take your time an’ dance with me

I love rock ‘n’ roll

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

I love rock ‘n’ roll

So come an’ take your time an’ dance with

… I love rock ‘n’ roll

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

I love rock ‘n’ roll

So come an’ take your time an’ dance with

I love rock ‘n’ roll

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

I love rock ‘n’ roll

So come an’ take your time an’ dance with

… I love rock ‘n’ roll

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

I love rock ‘n’ roll

So come an’ take your time an’ dance with

I love rock ‘n’ roll

So put another dime in the jukebox, baby

For the longest time, I thought these were the actual lyrics…

“Sgt. Pepperoni’s Hearts Club band” vs “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club band”

“Midnight after you’re wasted” vs “Midnight at the Oasis”

“I can see all ice cycles in my way” vs “I can see all obstacles in my way”

Many of us remember things that were sort of similar.

fortunately for cecil, ♪ theeeeere’s a bathroom on the right…

There was a man in the 1920s in the SF Bay Area who developed a candy bar that was made of nougat, marshmallow, nuts and a little fudge enveloped in chocolate. His daughter, Annabelle, said it reminded her of a rocky road. Mr Edy and his business partner, Mr Dreyer, were in the ice cream business in Oakland and were looking for new flavours. One day they went shopping, looking for something new. They came across the Rocky Road candy bar. After a taste test of the bar and a small batch of ice cream they contacted the candy bar inventor, and developed Rocky Road Ice Cream.
