Trivia

• The single features the instrumental version of the a cappella song "Since You've Been Gone", rending it 1:22 of silence.

Music video

• The music video features Andy Comeau as Gump. Throughout the video Forrest offers different people chocolates. First he offers Gladys Ormphby (Ruth Buzzi's Laugh-In character) some chocolates and she hits him with her purse. A second offer to a large, strong man results in Gump being spun around by his head. He then offers Pat Boone some chocolates. Boone greedily devours most of the box.
  

• The Instruments used in the song are over-simplified as a parody of the Presidents Of The United States Of America's actual instruments (A basitar, or 2 stringed guitar for bass, and a guitbass, a 3 stringed guitar) Al uses a one stringed bass in the video, while the guitarist uses a two stringed "guitar".
