 ==Overview==
+"Buddy Holly" is one the most-well known Weezer songs. The song was covered by parody group [[Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine]] for their [[2003]] album "''[[Tuxicity]]''." A Lastfm preview of this song can be heard [http://www.last.fm/music/Richard+Cheese/_/Buddy+Holly here]. The version of the song that appears on ''Alone'' features some differences from the finished album version. It is in a slower tempo, the melody is somewhat different, and the short synth sections during the verses are different.
 ===Writing===
 In the liner notes for ''[[Alone]]'', Cuomo explained how he was inspired to write the song after a friend from his choir lent him a Korg keyboard.  The lyrical inspiration derived from an incident in which the other members of Weezer were making fun of Cuomo's friend, Kyung He. Cuomo talks about how he originally didn't want to include the song on the album, but was convinced by producer [[Ric Ocasek]]. Cuomo also talks about the writing process of the song, stating that originally, the chorus lyrics were "You look just like Ginger Rogers/Oh-oh/I move just like Fred Astaire."
