I've got news for all you fans of Buddy Holly.
Seems that Buddy's gone and got himself a recording contract with Decker Records of Nashville, Tennessee.
How about that for a good old boy?
Well, Buddy's up there right now and he's taking along the crickets to help him with the recording.
I'll bet those boys have themselves a good old time in Nashville.
Thank you very much, everyone.
That is a take.
Excuse me, sir.
[G] Can I say something?
[Db] Sure, Buddy.
Well, [G] is that it now?
Yeah, that was great.
Can we hear it back, please?
It's just fine, Buddy.
Sir, can we just hear the tape back, please?
[N]
Sure.
Play the goddamn tape.

[Em] There's something wrong, Buddy.
[A] [E] Sir, I've driven a thousand miles to be here.
Now, I've listened to advice [Eb] on what pitch to [Ab] sing in and how to play my guitar, you know, what real music is.
[G] Sir, if you don't mind me saying [E] so, what we've just recorded [Ab] right here, sir, that's the most god-awful piece [Gm] of shit in the world.
Now, just a [Ab] moment, sir.
No, no, [A] don't just a moment me, sir, because the fact is, if [Abm] you don't let us play our music the way we want, you're just going to end up with this huge pile of crap.
Yeah, I'm sure.
[Gm] And I'm sure that we're about to come up there and smack you [G] on the new nose.
You better you fuck your lip, boy.
No, you better your lip and listen to some real music.
Come on, boys.
This here is the music millions of boppers say they want to hear.
