Weezer- Buddy Holly

No real storyline to it, just teenagers in café dancing, enjoying the music and socializing.

There is a limited amount of special effects used in this video, in fact there is only one- and even that one is extremely subtle. Spike Jonze has taken shots from an old, very well known TV programme ‘Happy Days’ and used layers to put the band into these shots. However Spike Jonze did this in a very impressive way- right at the end when the song finishes the cafe owner from the original show actually interacts with the band: talking to them, looking directly at them, and possibly the most impressive of all- they even manage to get the cafe owner in the old footage of the programme to touch one of the band members in the new footage on the arm. This is done so well throughout the whole video though that you can't actually tell this has been done. It's like the actors from the programme were actually recruited to be in the video. This is a parody and also a form of intertextuality.
