Other than historical, the video also captured the classic cultural example of the 50s in America. For instance, when one girl "cast an eyeball" on the "cool cats" playing on the stage, her apparent boyfriend decided to "agitate the gravel" and "cut out." From the jute box in the corner to the swing dancing on the floor, the video, whether intentional or not, could give a definite perspective of American 1950s. Along with the location and format from "Happy Days," the cultural parody could help garner appreciation from older demographics and create ethos for the newer, younger music that older generations usually may not be a able to connect to.
