Buddy Holly is a song by Weezer.

Lead singer Rivers Cuomo has stated that this song is largely misinterpreted - it is not romantic but is about defending a platonic female friend. (Thanks, Jen - Schenectady, NY)

This was Weezer's breakthrough hit. It got a lot of play on Top-40 radio and reached #2 on Billboard's Modern Rock Chart. (Thanks, Cam - St. Catharines, Canada)

Spike Jonze directed the video. Vintage Happy Days footage was intercut with shots of Weezer performing on the original Arnold's Drive-In set. Arguably one of the most popular clips of 1995, it scored four MTV Video Music Awards, including Breakthrough Video and Best Alternative Music Video, and two Billboard Music Video Awards, among them Alternative/Modern Rock Clip of the Year. (Thanks, Princess - Phoenix, AZ)
