O lançamento do single foi programado para a data em que Buddy Holly completaria 58 anos, homenageando o compositor que morreu em um acidente de avião junto com Ritchie Valens e The Big Bopper em 3 de fevereiro de 1959.
Rivers Cuomo quase não incluiu a canção no álbum de estreia, achando que soava "muito meia-boca", mas o produtor Ric Ocasek insistiu para que a tocassem, resultando em notas com desenhos e a mensagem "WE WANT BUDDY HOLLY" encontradas no estúdio pela banda.
Uma demo inicial de 1993 gravada por Cuomo incluía uma letra primitiva do refrão citando Ginger Rogers e Fred Astaire ("Oo-wee-oo you look just like Ginger Rogers/Oh, oh, I move just like Fred Astaire"), antes de ser alterada para a versão final.
O videoclipe foi filmado em um único dia no Charlie Chaplin Studios e integrava cenas da banda com trechos da série Happy Days, incluindo uma aparição de Al Molinaro e uma coreografia do Fonzie editada com a performance do Weezer.
O maior sucesso do musiclipe foi ser tão popular que foi incluído no CD-ROM do sistema operacional Microsoft Windows 95 no momento de seu lançamento.
O vídeo venceu quatro prêmios no MTV Video Music Awards de 1995, conquistando as categorias de Vídeo Revelação (Breakthrough Video) e Melhor Vídeo Alternativo.
