"Buddy Holly" was the second single released from ''The Blue Album''. Its initial cover art featured a photo of a very young Rivers Cuomo with a female friend. Apparently, the photo was used before gaining permission from this girl, and a search for her turned up fruitless. When [[Geffen]] realized they may be in an actionable position, they quickly changed the cover, and a photo of Cuomo and his brother [[Leaves]] was used instead. The incorrect cover only appears on promo copies of the single, except in Austrailia, who rushed a "Buddy Holly" single out so fast that it not only included the banned photo, but included none of the exclusive B-sides, instead simply including the LP version of "[[Holiday]]". [[Karl Koch]] would later say, "These Austrailians seem to rush into everything." | "Buddy Holly" was the second single released from ''The Blue Album''.
