  • How did they edit this so well? and in 94 as well!

  • The 50s the way it SHOULD have been!

    we really do need a Time Machine, at least for the sake of the rock.

  • Rock Band.

  • Classic! I was 19ish when this 1st played, but feels like l... ummm spaced out FOR REAL & have no clue how I intended too finish now..............

  • The gut singing looks like Jim Carrey

  • why is there a guy laying on the floor at 3:10 like he is dead?

  • 2:17 awwww

  • 2:51 most epic part of the song...

  • FUCK OFF VEVO

  • i love it!

  • press 8 repeatedly

  • one of the best videos ever made!!

  • optimistic song came just after grunge movement

  • Windows 95

  • This makes the fifties look so happy, as all nostalgic things do. Maybe they were happy, at least for middle class white folks. Good song, not necessarily a realistic representation.

  • @WMsquared yea, maybe for white middle class folks, but now no one is happy

  • WTF! when i heard this on rockband i didnt expect this!!! xD

  • @SuperWayne123456789 im assuming your talking about how gay and stupid they look. Weezer presents themselves as a bunch of dorks, which they might actually be in real life. but i think its kinda an act thing that they do.

  • just think all they need to do to be like this is to tune there guitars down to d and stop trying to be all rolemodel like

  • Ha! I used to hate when we'd watch a show and all of a sudden we'd get "To Be Continued..."

  • yay i have the top comment :D

  • im guessing that they used Happy Days because its supposed to be set in the '50s which is the time period of Buddy Holly. Just a guess

  • @bigpnisitus genius

  • Here is some info for everyone who wants to know.:

    The video portrayed Weezer performing at the original Arnold's Drive-In diner from the popular '70s television show Happy Days. The video combined contemporary footage of the band with clips from the show.

    The Microsoft Windows 95 release included a number of "Fun Stuff" items on the CD, including Buddy Holly, resulting in a sudden skyrocket in the popularity of the video and song that won Weezer a place in MTV Music Video Awards history.[8]

  • VEVO me tienen los huevos llenos

  • YES! Been trying to find out what this song is for months! :D

  • this song was in memmory of buddy holly

  • ONE OF THE BEST MUSIC VIDEOS EVER AND ONE OF THE LAST GOOD ONES

  • A video from the 90s integrated into a show from the 70s that was set in the 50s?

  • @DeeDubb1983 INCEPTION

  • @DeeDubb1983 Yes- why does that seem so weird? When it came out in the 1990s it wasn't "in the 1990s" it was just a video set in the show Happy Days. Not confusing.

  • @nwuguy23 I didn't say it was weird. It's interesting in hindsight that from present day back is like a 20 year gap from now to when the video was made to when the show was on to when the show depicts.

  • @DeeDubb1983 Interesting observation. So an accumulation of 60 years altogether, and the '50s still look cooler than the present! What are we to take from this?

  • Perfect when i was 13, still perfect now.

  • Why do they have to dress up like Mr. Rodgers?

  • @Chrisgodoflard they were socs. There were greasers, socs, and freaks. Greasers were pretty much the Fanz from Happy Days and the socs were the preps. Freaks were everyone who didn't fit into those categories.

  • 260 though the fish tasted like crap.

  • takes me back when i was 5 and used to watch this love weezer

  • Everyone knows Feb. 14th is Weezer day, not that other thing I keep hearing about...happy 20th :)

  • Happy 20 years of greatness, Weezer!!!

  • eyyyy

  • Haha pause at 3:10 and look at the band.

  • Missing the glasses.

  • Windows 95 and Weezer. The 90s were a great time.

  • Buddy holly: " hope your bus freezes up " johnny cash friend: " hope your dam airplane crashes " my home room in 9th grade was buddys home room. That's cool.

  • Brian Bell looks like George Harrison here

  • its pathetic that you type in buddy holly and this is the first thing that comes up.... dont get me wrong weezer is a good band but really?

  • @thajuggalo15 Maybe its because weezer is much more recent than Buddy Holly? I mean really, for someone these day to know who buddy holly is by taking a music appreciation class, searching to know about rock history, or accidentally stumble across his music on youtube. 

  • foda!!

  • I can't believe Rivers Cuomo killed Kurt Cobain

  • @VEVOTroll nice try retard, fail at trolling

  • rip buddy holly

  • Happy Days was the TV show idea from the Movie American Graffiti

  • weezer is timeless, this could be a billboard's top 10 right now

  • omg i watch this first windows 95 too LOL

  • Omg the difference between 360p and 480 :oo

  • either I'm going deaf or the sound on this isn't very good

  • So missed that, "And a 1, and a 2, and a 3, and a 4"....Gawd I miss my music class. WEEZER, AHHHHHHH!!!!!!

  • playing rock band 3 guitar :D

  • 9899888 viewer!

  • @alarianb that's a lot of 9s and 8s!!!

  • 85 people don't like mary tyler moore. Sexists.

  • 3:13 Mr Miyagi!!!

  • 0:43 thats bull crap

  • @Incrucrator Looks like only 67 out of 9,896,158 people got that joke lol

  • That shots that show Fonzie dancing from behind are actually of a body double.

  • Friggen Wisonsins and their cheese, makes them crazy.

  • I FUCKIN' LOVE THIS SONG! :D

  • I'm 13 and i wish this was the most popular music nowadays :( i also wish that is what life was like ...but everyone ahd truly equal rights :p

  • @ZerFrozenJared You want a cookie?

  • @tomleech92

    It's a comment do you expect it to be deeply meaning?

  • @ZerFrozenJared That makes little to no sense.

  • @Strokemyturtle

    As i despite my young age i wish this was the type of music that is popular not wannabe thugs talking about how many chicks they fuck and how rich they are. I mena when does this video take place? i mean like what time did the little show they took this off take place in?

  • @ZerFrozenJared cause nobody cares about the age.

  • @yocam420

    I don't knwo about you but when one is at an age where their entire life a certain type of music was almost shooved down their throat and made to seeem glamorous yet they like music from an older age i find it a bit off

  • @ZerFrozenJared If you google HAPPY DAYS it will show U it took place in the '50's and the show aired in the '70's.GREAT SONG REGARDLESS,RIGHT??

  • @sammylane21

    Yeah i love the song but what i was aying is that i wish the everything was the was it was in the 50's but ya know minorities weren't as moppressed since in the 50's didn't white people think they ruled the world

  • @ZerFrozenJared too true

  • @ZerFrozenJared the fifties, the show is called happy days. good times! American graffiti, Grease.

  • @ZerFrozenJared Happy Days ? lol 50's or 60's

  • @AnorexicPizza

    I'm saying i wish that bands like weezer would be popular now but the world was just like this Happy day's time or the fifties it's not confusing at all

  • @ZerFrozenJared Happy Days was the show back in the 70s:)

  • @ZerFrozenJared This show was filmed in the 1970s and is called Happy Days. Happy Days was a show that depicted life in the 1950s. Weezer is a cool band and this song came out in the mid 1990s. It has nothing to do with Happy Days; they used it as a backdrop for the song. Really?

  • when did this come out

  • @ThePutipa 1994.

  • I remember this from the Windows 95 CD!!!

  • this song was in a commercial when i was 8 or 9 years old... memories :)

  • Im 15..and i love this song! haha! thanks to rock band i know this song(:

  • Good ol' days of Weezer <3

  • why isn't the guy with blonde hair, who was in earlier videos...in the later weezer videos? or he is but i can't spot it???

  • @ChaosTheoryIdiots he left the band

  • @ChaosTheoryIdiots thatr's matt sharp..and yeah..i think he left after the second album, pinkerton..look up matt sharp on youtube, or the rentals, if you liked weezer :)

  • greatest music video ever made.

  • who in the band in this video is the one who passed?

  • @ChaosTheoryIdiots he isnt in it, its too early. its mickey welsh. he never recorded an album with them

  • @ChaosTheoryIdiots i lie, he was on the green album.

  • @ChaosTheoryIdiots Mikey Welsh was the one who passed away,but he wasn't with the band untill 2000,and he was only with Weezer for a year

  • oo ee oo

  • 256 people tried the fish

  • venía en el disco de instalación del W95...jaja qué cosas...

  • Fonzie is SERIOUSLY cool.

  • Años y años sin saber ni título ni intérprete y, de casualidad, LO ENCUENTRO!!! Una de mis imprescindibles de los años 90!!!

  • Clever comment about why 256 people disliked this video.

  • RIP Buddy

    

  • the day the music died. 3 february 1959. RIP Buddy

  • @bytte2 dont forget Richie Valens and The Big Bopper

  • @patjrm16 I couldn't agree more. Tragic day in the history of music. Ritchie was a great musician, to bad his career only lasted for 8 months. And the big bopper will always be remembered by his "heeeeeeeeeeeeeey baby" quote. RIP all of them and again: the day the music died. 3 february 1959. It would be different without these guys.

  • @bytte2 I think you mean "with" these guys :P

  • @bytte2 Nope 1994. R.I.P Kurt Cobain

  • Father Dowling at 1:48 :o)

  • imagine if the world still had the style of the 1950's but the music of today. hmm..

  • Its February 3, God bless the 3 souls of those who died today in 1959.

  • nostalgic time :(

  • and to think rivers is like 40 now lol

  • I just keep going "Ayy"  whenever I see the Fonz. Classic times.

  • rolling stone called this the 499th best song of all time out of 500 lol

  • The kid at 1:05 is wearing a  white and black shirt.

    Then he's wearing a red shirt.

    wtf? ._.

  • @PeachyLeaf because they took clips from happy days. get over it.

  • @PeachyLeaf

    "the kid"...That's RICHIE CUNNINGHAM dammit!! Pop culture is DEAD!!...lol.

  • The girl/ guy ratio in that place is so good. hahaha

  • laverne and shirley should be in there dancing too.

  • hell yeah! memories of windows 95

  • @Incrucator I was just thinking that! I thought they were a band from the '50 for the longest time -- I couldn't believe it. I was 7 when that happened; I have experienced over 15 years of Weezer since then.

  • @Incrucator Hell yeah!

    I was 15 years old at that time. I didn't know what Happy Days was back then, lol.

  • A 17 minute ad?! yeah, youre gosh damn right i wanna skip it!

  • Thumbs up if you think this video is kinda gay lol.

  • @heatheralice090388 How about thumbs up your ass because youre gay? Its ok we all understand that homophobes always question their own sexuality and call people and anything they can relate to gay to make themselves feel better. 

  • @heatheralice090388 oh youre a chick? lol ok nevermind what i said

  • @heatheralice090388 how could a video with the fonz in it be "gay"?

  • Yeah this is funny n catchy

  • lol I actually remember that episode where Fonz won the dance-off.

  • nos I feel nostalgic.

  • 254 people tried the fish

  • hahahah epic

  • i can still remember seeing this stuff on TV as a young kid.. gettin old lol

  • @lifeartpixels seeing what? the music video or happy days?

  • @WipeOut180 the musicvideo:)

  • @lifeartpixels

    I have never seen this, but I'm sure when something is good, it never gets old

  • @VEVOTroll Considering this came after grunge, they killed grunge with Alternative rock. If you're gona troll, know your facts.

  • yeeuh

    

  • Sweet cardigan sweaters!!

  • Rivers looks so carefree in this video, unlike many of the 2004 ones.

    The song is ballin' though.

    This was one of their best song periods. Surf Wax Americaaaaa.

  • HAPPY DAYS!

  • i have had this song stuck in my head since the windows 95 promotion

  • This is in the top 500 songs of all times list. Damn right.

  • good song only the interruption is annoying

  • I love this song, if you get a second check out our stuff!!

    LIKE our facebook page, search One Pump Chump

  • i wonder what would happen in Weezer went back in time and playing this to buddy holly

  • dang I think I was 14 or 15 when this song came out and I was super excited to see it on our old computer... dang I still know every lyric it reminds me of when I showed music to my little brother. I think its cool to not go with the crowd all the time

  • ooo wee ooo, i look like buddy holly (A.K.A the best troll to pull during an argument)

  • Finally after about a year of singing "woo hoo but you know I'm yours" I finally found this!

  • Song of the day.

  • Wonderful video, horrible song: as insipid as spaghetti without salt.

    I would rather hear crappy Pop music than hear crappy Pop-Rock music, as Pop≠Rock and they must never be mixed.

    By the way, the white Fender Precision Telecaster Bass '52 Model is one of the most beautiful basses I have ever seen.
