"Buddy Holly" by Weezer (#499 in Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs of All Time)

Been familiar with this one for a long time...I think I remember finding out the name of the song and who performed it during the summer of 2010.

I think I remember having this pleasure rush feeling from the little part of the guitar solo where all the other instruments cut out when I first got into this song, ha ha. Also always loved harmonizing on the additional "I don't care 'bout that"s in the second and third chorus.

Funny that I never really thought about the coherent meaning of all of the lyrics until reading the little blurb about it on Rolling Stone. I'd never really drawn a strong connection between the lyrics in the verses and the lyrics in the chorus...but apparently it's kind of a song he wrote about needing to stick up for his girlfriend. Which now makes total sense.

Anyway, a delightfully quirky and catchy song...4 out of 5 stars.
