"Buddy Holly" by Weezer is a song that pays homage to the late rock and roll legend Buddy Holly. The lyrics describe a love story set against the backdrop of 1950s nostalgia, with references to Holly's music and persona. The narrator expresses admiration for Holly, longing to be like him and find a connection akin to Holly's music. The song's music video famously features Weezer performing on the set of the television show "Happy Days," intercut with scenes from the show itself. Musically, "Buddy Holly" is characterised by its catchy guitar riff, upbeat tempo, and memorable melody.
