Buddy Holly\’s Birthday
Buddy Holly was born in 1936, and died in a plane crash on February 3, 1959. His hometown was Lubbock, Texas. He has a New Mexico connection: he recorded his first hits at the Norman Petty Recording Studio in Clovis, New Mexico.
Hanhurst lists a singing call, \”That\’ll Be the Day\” on Top (25348), but I don\’t know for sure it\’s the Buddy Holly song. There’s also “Every Day” on Ranch House 901, but it’s not in print.
Maybe your round dance cuer uses other Buddy Holly songs: “Peggy Sue”, “Oh Boy”, “Maybe Baby”, “It’s So Easy”.
Buddy Holly also did a song called “You’re So Square”, about his attraction to a Lawrence Welkie. He also recorded a version of “Wait ‘Til the Sun Shines, Nellie”.

- Every Day (Ranch House 901)
(You’re So Square) Baby I Don’t Care
You don’t like crazy music, you don’t like rockin’
You just want to go to a movie show, and sit their holdin’ hands
You’re so square, baby I don’t care
I don’t know why my heart blips, I only know it does
I only want to love you baby, I guess its just because
You’re so square, baby I don’t care
You don’t know any dance steps, but I do-a-hoo-hoo
I only know why I love you like I do-a-do-a-do-a-do
You don’t like crazy music, you don’t like rockin’
You just want to go to a movie show, and sit their holdin’ hands
You’re so square, baby I don’t care
Baby I don’t care, baby I don’t care
Queen also recorded this song.
Hello, Kris,
I have this singing-call from Royal Records – and I believe it is the “Buddy Holly” version…
