misheard lyrics
I don’t trust that Buddy Holly
It’s a rare occasion that I listen to the radio on the way to work, but this morning I had Pure Rock Lazer 99.3 on. I heard a song I haven’t heard in a long time: Buddy Holly by Weezer. I’ve always liked this song, and it reminded me of my sophomore year at WPI when the song was first released. We used to see it on MTV all the time (you know, back when they actually used to show videos sometimes), and for the longest time, I thought the chorus was, “Ooo eee ooo, I don’t trust that Buddy Holly”. I was like, “What the hell did Buddy Holly ever to do Weezer?” But after repeated listenings, I realized the actual lyrics were, “Ooo eee ooo, I look just like Buddy Holly”, and it made so much more sense when he then mentions Mary Tyler Moore.It’s such a great video. I love the whole Happy Days theme, and the appearances of Potsie, Ralph Malph, Al, Richie Cunningham, Mr. & Mrs. Cunningham, Joanie, and, of course, The Fonz.
Spike Jonze makes the best videos.

Josh Groban sings TV theme song medley at Emmy Awards
I never thought I’d be typing this, but Josh Groban gave a stellar performance at the 2008 Emmys / The Academy Awards, doing an amusing medley of television theme songs. There was quite a variety, and I think I was most impressed with seeing Groban do the South Park theme (1:45 in or so). Also notable is the theme song from Cops about 2:45 in.Here’s a list of all the TV theme songs Josh Groban sang or made reference to:
The Simpsons
Friends
Happy Days
Golden Girls
Mister Roger’s Neighborhood
The Andy Grifith Show
The Love Boat
Law & Order
The Addams Family
The Muppet Show
The X-Files
South Park
The Jeffersons
Baywatch
The Brady Bunch
COPS
Law & Order
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Saturday Night Live
The Late Show with David Letterman
