I LOVE ROCKY ROAD |
While I Love Lucy may not be mentioned in the lyrics of this parody of "I Love Rock'n'Roll," the video has one small reminder of the greatest sitcom of all time: a small I Love Lucy pin worn by Al. Can you spot it? |

Reba McEntire: "Reba Live" |
Backstage, Reba says, "I've always loved to watch the great comedians like Carol B and Lucille B. In fact, I'd really like to do something like 'I Love Flucy.'" This is followed by an ‘I LOVE FLUCY' intro complete with the trademark satin heart and music.
It's Thanksgiving Day and Lucy is getting dinner ready. Ethel wonders what Lucy is up to, and Lucy says that Mrs Sanchez is baking a turkey for her and that Ricky won't be able to tell the difference. They exit.
Ricky and Fred (dressed as a pilgrim) enter from the other door with a turkey that Ricky says is a prop for the show. Lucy comes in and is happy that Mrs Sanchez had brought the turkey but Ricky tells her that it his turkey and that she can't touch it! Lucy tells Ricky that since she can't have it; she'll eat it all anyways. When she sticks the knife in it, it explodes and confetti comes out of it. Lucy cries, “Whaaaaaa!” | 1995 |
