Remember that 'Happy Days' when that smokin' band played?


My most memorable music video (see the Friday Question entry below) remains as captivating on the 100th viewing as it appeared the first time I saw it.
Spike Jonze's clip for "Buddy Holly" by Weezer launched the band's career, took home four honors at the 12th annual MTV Video Music Awards in 1995 and struck a chord in children of the 70s and 80s who had been raised on a steady diet of "Happy Days." The Fonz returns! In a cool music video!
For me, however, this video accomplished much more. It proved that rock and roll could be FUN 40 years after it began.
