Appears last week's bit of fun went down well. Let's have some more fun with this award winning Video. You may not know the song or the group but I'll bargain you know the show being featured.   

Rather than say any more I'll let you watch the music video and give you the lowdown afterwards.

Cue Weezer and 'Buddy Holly' - and a 1990s video referencing a 70s TV series set in the 50s !

The Story:

Weezer - who aren't actually from Wisconsin but California recorded this track in 1994. 

The video won four MTV awards while the song made a 2021 list of Rolling Stone magazine's '500 Greatest Songs of All Time'.  

Weezer Drummer Pat Wilson recalls in 1995 that the video was clever editing and no computer graphics were used.

"Old footage from the show and new footage of the band seamlessly edited together. We rebuilt the inside of Arnold's, and we dressed up and we would film a scene. We bought some film footage of Happy Days and put it all together. When they filmed us they processed it and made it look a little grainy so it matched the quality of the old footage of Happy Days. For the most part it looked really good. I think the thing that makes it really come off is the fact that Al is in it also.” - Referring to the magnificent cameo from Al Molinaro, reprising his Happy Days role as diner owner Al Delvecchio. 

The video was directed by Spike Jonze [who has done numerous other music videos]
