:-[[Karl Koch]] on the "Buddy Holly" music video, from the liner notes for ''[[Video Capture Device]]''


The music video, featuring the band spliced into a ''Happy Days'' set, was directed by [[Spike Jonze]]. The video combines new footage of the band, and old footage from the show, including many of its stars, such as Henry Winkler and Ron Howard.  Also included, in a newly-shot speaking role, is Al Molinaro, who played Al Delvecchio on ''Happy Days''.  It was massively successful, and launched the band into mainstream fame. It was featured on the installation CD-ROM for Microsoft Windows 95 as well. In the commentary for the video on the ''[[Video Capture Device]]'', the band members reveal that many of the backup dancers used in the video are friends of theirs, including [[Tony Maxwell]] of [[That Dog]]. According to an April 21, 1997 interview, [[Anna Waronker]] was also in the video, but her face is not visible<ref>[https://youtu.be/fxOcFKq-3OI?t=370 "That Dog: Anna Waronker, Tony Maxwell, Rachel & Petra Haden Interview w/ Dan Kennedy April 21, 1997"]</ref>.
