Buddy Holly by Weezer: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Buddy Holly" by Weezer is a power-pop anthem from their 1994 self-titled debut album. The song features a catchy melody, crunchy guitars, and infectious harmonies. Rivers Cuomo's vocals are delivered with a mix of earnestness and cheekiness, paying homage to the 1950s rock 'n' roll icon Buddy Holly. The track's music video cleverly inserts the band into scenes from the classic TV show "Happy Days," adding to its nostalgic charm.
