Lyrics for Buddy Holly as interpreted by antispork

Buddy Holly Lyrics
What's with these homies, dissin' my girl
Why do they gotta front
What did we ever do to these guysi
That made them so violent
Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine
Woo-hoo, and that's for all time

Woo-ee-oo I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moorei
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care 'bout that

Don't you ever fear, I'm always there
I know that you need help
Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit
You need a guardian

Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine
Woo-hoo, and that's for all time

Woo-ee-oo I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moorei
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care 'bout that

Bang! Bang a knock on the door
another big bang and your down on the floori
Oh no! what do I do?
Don't look know but I lost my shoe
I can't run and I can't kick
What's a matter babe are you feelin' sick?
what's a matter, what's a matter, what's a matter you?
What's a matter babe, are you feelin' blue? oh-oh!

i think it's more like not caring about what anyone else thinks of them..just to themselves together.

This song is great. The video made it cool to dress in tight pants. OK, most people would disagree, but it's getting to the stage of being cool.

to me its just a fun song that you don't really want to understand. I mean, the lyrics are so random, it goes from the mock-slang in the beginning into the "Woo-ee-oo" stuff and the last part with the "Bang-bang, knock on the door" sounds like a nursery school rhyme. Its just a cool little schizophrenic ditty. One of the best on the blue album

This song rocks, I still play it loud in my car. I think this couple is in high school and they're socially rejected by their peers, because of their attire, or appearance maybe they are retarded and always getting beat up, because he dose say "Bang! Bang a knock on the door
another big bang and your down on the floor." Key there "Another" so we know that this not the first time they get assaulted that's what I think.

Rivers said "It's about a particular girl I knew... It's about my commitment to her... our relationship... and, er, my willingness to defend her. It's very platonic. Not a romantic thing at all."
I assume that this girl may or may not have looked like Mary Tyler Moore.

Yeah, definitly a cool song. But what =w= song isn't? Yeah, so, I think this song is just about not caring what other people think of you. As a couple maybe... i dunno.

this song is definitely about just going your own way and doing whatever you want... take my friend nick for example... he's totally SpLaT! and he doesn't care what anyone thinks... He's also got rumple foreskin.

This sound sounds be me to be about devotion and willingness to defend a best friend (girlfriend?) of his.

"What's with these homies, dissin' my girl
Why do they gotta front
What did we ever do to these guysi
That made them so violent "
--sounds to me like his friend is facing some sort of descrimination. The "homeies" are dissing on her, even though they never did anything to them.

"Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine
Woo-hoo, and that's for all time "
--statement of devotion: I'm yours, always, no matter what.

"Woo-ee-oo I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moorei
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care 'bout that "
--all I get about this part is the "I don't care what they say about us anyway", which is obvious in meaning.

"Don't you ever fear, I'm always there
I know that you need help
Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit
You need a guardian "
--for some reason, this always conjures up the image of perhaps someone of asian decent for me, that is facing perhaps descriminiation. He's saying: "You need a guardian, and I am it, because of these characteristics (twisted tounge, slite eyes..)"

"Bang! Bang a knock on the door
another big bang and your down on the floor "
--I always picture an intruder, knocking on the door. The third bang could be the door coming down, or a shot being fired. Perhaps a hate crime in progress?

"Oh no! what do I do?
Don't look know but I lost my shoe
I can't run and I can't kick "
--for some reason, they can't leave. I think lost shoes must be a metaphor, but I'm not sure for what. Anyway, something is keeping them from running...

"What's a matter babe are you feelin' sick?
what's a matter, what's a matter, what's a matter you?
What's a matter babe, are you feelin' blue? oh-oh!"
--sick could be hit by a bullet, or perhaps otherwise injured by the intruders. perhaps it's simply a physical reaction to the strong emotions brought by that type of crime.

Anyway, it's a grim inturp, I know, but seems to make sense to me. It's also hopeful in that someone could be that devoted to someone.

Suggestions?

one of the few songs i'm quite happy to sit mindlessly and smile to... even if it has a hidden grim meaning, the 'don't look now but i lost my shoe' just makes me laugh n i dunnos why... :o)

I didn't know what relationship Buddy Holly and Mary Tyler Moore had. So I looked it up:
The Crickets wrote and performed the theme song used for The Mary Tyler Moore Show for seven seasons.

I think it's about this dorky guy who likes a girl, who might also be a dork but is still pretty to him, and is approaching her. Maybe she's getting made fun of, and he's trying to protect her or make her feel better. If only Cuomo were as nice as the guys in his songs.

I don't really think this song has any true secret meaning. I think it's about a relationship (platonic or romantic) between a woman and a man, and the man just continues to defend it (and her) no matter what other people say. It's just a fun song. And as for "don't look now, but I lost my shoe", I don't think that's has a meaning, it's just a crazy line.
