Lyrics:

Songwriter: © Bush Catherine

One of the band told me last night
That music is all that he's got in his life
And where will it go, surely not with his soul
Will all of his licks and his r'n'b blow away?
Blow away
Blow away
Blow away
Blow away
Blow away
Blow away
Our engineer had a different idea
From people who nearly died but survived
Feeling no fear of leaving their bodies here
And went to a room that was soon full of visitors
Hello. Minnie
Moony, Vicious
Vicious, Buddy Holly
Sandy Denny
Please, don't thump me, don't bump me
Don't dump me back there
Please, don't thump me, don't bump me
Don't dump me back there
Please, don't thump me, don't bump me
I want to stay here
Put out the light, then put out the night
Vibes in the sky invite you to dine
Dust to dust, blow to blow
Bolan and Moony are heading the show tonight
Hello, Minnie
Moony, Vicious, Vicious
Buddy Holly
Sandy Denny
Please, don't thump me, don't bump me
Don't dump me back there
Please. don't thump me, don't bump me
Don't dump me back there
Please don't thump me, don't bump me
I want to stay here

Schmyt * , From The German Album "Universum Regelt", Released May 20, 2022

The Artist refers to the Weezer Song "Buddy Holly"

and mentions Buddy Holly and Mary Tyler Moore.

Here's an article about Mary and Buddy from the © genius.com website:

Buddy Holly was an American singer and songwriter who died at the age of 22.

However, actress Mary Tyler Moore, who was born in the same year, lived to be 80 years old.

The song "Buddy Holly" by the American rock band Weezer also alludes to Buddy Holly and Mary Tyler Moore.

The actress was a big fan of Buddy Holly and

his band The Crickets wrote (after his death) the theme song for Mary's TV show.

The name of the song: "Love Is All Around", written and sung by Sonny Curtis.

Here are the German Lyrics of Schmyt and "Buddy Holly" :

Du bist Mary Tyler Moore
Ich kann Buddy Holly sein
Alle wollen den Ocean-Drive
Ich will nur für immer bei dir sein
KaDeWe, Designer-Stores
Bin down, vom California Sugar high
Slow-Dance in die Ewigkeit
Ich will nur für immer bei dir sein, ja
Kopfsteinpflaster, Flaschen klirren
Neonröhren, Diskotränen
Wer hat Filter? Ich kann nicht mehr drehen, ja
Vierter Mai 2010
Pinkes Slush in den Adern
Kiefer knackt auf der Fahrbahn
Augen rot so wie Tartan
Gesichter sagen viel, wenn sie schweigen
Leute sagen nicht so viel, wenn sie labern
Sterne trommeln auf das Dach, gefang'n auf mein'm Hocker, überall ist Lava
Der Boden hier ist Lava
Ich kenn die Einsamkeit im Backstage Pass
Manche spüren den Regen, andere werden nur entsetzlich nass, yeah
Du bist Mary Tyler Moore
Ich kann Buddy Holly sein
Alle wollen den Ocean-Drive
Ich will nur für immer bei dir sein
KaDeWe, Designer-Stores
Bin down, vom California Sugar high
Slow-Dance in die Ewigkeit
Ich will nur für immer bei dir sein, ja
Du bist Mary Tyler Moore
Alle kommen mir kleiner vor
Ich kann Buddy Holly sein

Lyrics: © The Rascals

Little Richard told us 'bout Long Tall Sally
She and Uncle John had to duck back in the alley
Buddy Holly loved his Peggy Sue
Eddie Cochran caught the Summertime Blues
Elvis was the king, there's no doubt
Before the Beatles came along with Twist and Shout
In the Golden Days of Rock and Roll ...
Gene Vincent's baby did a Bluejean Bop
Chuck Berry told us stories 'bout youngster's rock
Bo Diddley layed it down on his square guitar
Bill Haley rocked the Comets on a way-out star
Jerry Lee was shakin' a Whole Lotta bones
And no one ever heard about the Rolling Stones
In the Golden Days of Rock and Roll ...
Fats Domino rode down Blueberry Hill
And Chantilly Lace gave Big Bopper a thrill
Vince Taylor drove up in his Black Cadillac
Johnny and the Pirates Shakin' All of the cats
Carl Perkins showed off with his Blue Suede Shoes
And rocked around the clock on a Sea Cruise
In the Golden Days of Rock and Roll ...

*  Hello Hans, Congratulations on your excellent website!

I am sure you know the following...but, just in case.....

The brilliant guitarist Harold Bradley, together with his brother Owen, 

owned the Nashville recording studios where Buddy Holly recorded a lot 

of his early tracks. Harold Bradley played guitar on several of Buddy's 

early releases including 'Rock Around With Ollie Vee', 'Modern Don Juan' 

and 'You're My One Desire'. (recorded 15.11.1956). Apparently he was a 

good friend to Mr & Mrs Holley.

Three years after Buddy's tragic death, Harold released the very somber, 

Tex-Mex instrumental 'Maria Elena'. This have just been coincidence, who knows!

På väg mot nattens nirvana, slingrande på en ytterbana
med en tjej som såg ut som Jimmy Dean
och med fordringar som ingen kunde ana
Hon sa: Ska vi älska, så ska vi älska till rock'n'roll - aha
Ska vi älska, så ska vi älska till rock'n'roll
Jag satte på Rolling Stones och "Satisfaction"
Elvis Costello and the Attractions
Hon sa: Fan, vad är det här? Vad är det för modern skit?
Fram med 45: orna med lite action

för Ska vi älska, så ska vi älska till Buddy Holly - aha
Ska vi älska, så ska vi älska till Buddy Holly

Cos he's my favorite, honey...

Men var fanns "Peggy Sue" och "It's so easy"
och "Guess it doesn't matter anymore"
Hon sa: Too bad, boy men sån är min stil jag hoppas att du förstår...

Ska vi älska, så ska vi älska till Buddy Holly - aha
Ska vi älska, så ska vi älska till Buddy Holly
