Midi version of the "Buddy Holly" song
Weezer is a group of four members that was formed in Los Angeles
in 1992. In the 1995 video, "Buddy Holly" directed by Spike Jonze,
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. It reached
no. 2 on "Billboards Modern Rock Track Chart".
The introduction of the video was delivered by Happy Days cast member Al Molinaro (Al Delvecchio),
and seizing the opportunity to ad lib, Al plugged his hometown--and his
words "...from Kenosha, Wisconsin: Weezer!" ended up in heavy rotation on MTV for
weeks during 1995.
The video featured footage from episode #53 (They Call It Potsie Love) as well as several other episodes. There is
a scene where Joanie is peeking out from behind the railing in the back of Arnold's in the video.

What's with these homies dissin' my girl
Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours
Chorus
Bang! Bang a knock on the door
Chorus

Why do they gotta front
What did we ever do to these guys
That made them so violent
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine
Woo-hoo, and that's for all time
Woo-ee-oo I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care 'bout that
Don't you ever fear, I'm always near
I know that you need help
Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit
You need a guardian
Another big bang and you're down on the floor
Oh no! What do we do
Don't look now but I lost my shoe
I can't run and I can't kick
What's a matter babe are you feelin' sick
What's a matter, what's a matter, what's a matter you?
What's a matter babe, are you feelin' blue? Oh-oh!
And that's for all time
