Iconic Music Videos That Defined The Past Few Decades

“Buddy Holly” by Weezer (1994)

Spike Jonze strikes a third time. What can we say? He’s got a knack for directing if you haven’t noticed. The video for “Buddy Holly” shows Weezer performing at Arnold’s Drive-In from Happy Days, combining footage of the band with preexisting clips from the 1970s show. The video was exceedingly popular and still lives on in the music exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
