Which of these Joan Jett songs did Weird Al Yankovic parody?

Weird Al Yankovic parodied Joan Jett’s version of “I Love Rock ’N Roll” with his comedy song “I Love Rocky Road.” The parody replaces the original song’s rock-and-roll enthusiasm with an exuberant obsession with rocky-road ice cream.

“I Love Rock ’N Roll” was written by Alan Merrill and Jake Hooker and first recorded by the British band the Arrows in 1975. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts later made it a worldwide hit with their 1981 recording. Weird Al’s parody is musically modeled on the familiar Joan Jett arrangement and performance style, which is why quizzes commonly identify Jett as the artist being parodied.

“I Love Rocky Road” was recorded in 1982 and released on Yankovic’s 1983 self-titled debut album. Its lyrics turn details such as ice-cream flavors and toppings into a playful imitation of the original’s dramatic rock attitude. The accompanying video also echoes the visual style of Jett’s famous music video.

The common nuance is that Joan Jett did not write the original song. She popularized it, while the Arrows created the first recording; the quiz’s stored answer is still the expected answer because it asks which Joan Jett song was parodied.
