    I don’t trust that Buddy Holly

    posted by jamie | 03.05.09 | permalink | 1 comment

    idonttrustthatbuddyhollyIt’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

    posted by matt | 09.22.08 | permalink | 9 comments

    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
    Late Night with Conan O’Brien
    The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson
    Two and a Half Men
    Rawhide
    Gilligan’s Island
    M*A*S*H
    The Carol Burnett Show
    Cheers
    I Dream of Genie
