Obviously, this track is kind of slow compared to how it ended up on the Weezer record. In this case, though, it didn't seem like a big deal. I rarely wrote lyrics about tension between me and the guys in the band because I thought it would be awkward for us all to perform those songs together. The life-situation that inspired the lyric was an incident in which the Weezer guys were making fun of my friend Kyung He (also in the Santa Monica College Choir).
An early version read, "ooo-we-ooo you look just like Ginger Rogers. The melody was in time to my steps: "ooo-we-ooo I look just like Buddy Holly." The lyrics I struggled with, trying to find the right reference point. The chorus melody, though, I came up with as I was walking through the lawns of the campus. Inspired by its goofy synth sounds, I decided to write some new-wave influenced songs. I was in the Santa Monica College Choir and I met a kid named Steve Graff who lent me his Korg Keyboard. 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: Originally written in June of 1993, the demo for the song, released on Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo, features a slower tempo. "Buddy Holly" is one the most-well known Weezer songs. Happy Record Store Day!
