I like the symmetry of Weezer's "Buddy Holly" being one of the first PC videos people ever saw by virtue of it being included on the Windows 95 installation CD, and 30 years later, Cuomo quietly carving out a little piece of the coding universe for themselves. Rock on!

Oh man I forgot that video was on the Win95 CD!

  Along with one of the low-key greatest white folk-soul ballads ever written -- "Good Times" by Edie Brickell. And some amazing Bill Plympton animations! https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/?p=32853 https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/?p=32853

    I remember the Buddy Holly video but I think I may never have found the Plympton videos. I missed out—was a huge Plymptoons fan back then. I do remember discovering the video for GWAR’s Saddam A-Go-Go inside the Beavis & Butthead adventure game that came out that same year. Weird what sticks in our heads. Good times.

      I was sure I remembered there was more than one, but likely I misremembered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ob7EEr3t8k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ob7EEr3t8k It's very short, too. I'm surprised by that. But it definitely stuck in my head.
