Whats the name of the tune they play before Ollie Vee. Goes someting like ''When you wake up in the morning,..''

[44ShakedownBenny]

@BlisterOnTheMoon: That must be "Mockin' Bird Hill", a song written by Vaughn Horton and published in 1951. It was popularized by Patti Page and by Les Paul and Mary Ford in 1951, and for both of them following on to their big hit of "The Tennessee Waltz" the previous year;

To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill

Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee

There's peace and goodwill

You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin' Bird Hill etc.

I love how this type of music shook up conservative white America. They had no idea how to react to this music.

Buddy Holly was placed on this planet to teach the humans how to groove.

Buddy Holly stands for "Burrowinng Under Dangerous Dog Yards Having Original Light, Lasting Years"

I agree. I think I even prefer some of the versions of the songs in the movie compared to the studio recordings! with all respect to the venerable Buddy Holly, Gary Busey did a fabulous job of playing these songs just a little bit raunchier than Buddy Holly would have. Acutally all of those actors played and did an EXCELLENT job!

[2011littlejohn1]

This movie is criticised as being inaccurate in some respects but I like the authentic touches like the drummer pulling his kit back together and guitar leads getting wrapped around legs, and mikes feeding back - all very realistic. So in "feel" and also how we felt about Buddy Holly the movie is right and Gary Busey's performance was excellent.

Oh man I remember these tunes when they came out -Blew the minds of every oldtimer out there ,What is that shxt your going straight to the path of the devil OOOHHHH AAAHHHH ... Then Chuck Berry did a one legged bounce accross the stage with an electric guitar -and the competition has been growing ever since -Jerry`s flaming piano -Elvis`s Wobble -Ritchie Valens La bamba - Great Tunes what an Era glad to be part of it .

As much as I love Buddy, I agree! The original had that country twang to it, similar to the original "That'll be the day", which is almost nothing like the well known version. This version is much better, IMO.

@dahur I listened to the original, and I gotta say the movie remake is world's better, sorry Buddy! Think he would have approved though.... : )
