You're pitting creativity vs. cleverness (and I love both). Because of my age, "Everyday" has been burned into my subconscious, but I only noticed just now the "drumming" (thanks to your note) and that high-pitched instrument--a xylophone I think.
The Weezer video (as a video) was certainly clever, and the music itself was infectious.
But I've got to give the edge to Buddy because of that xylophone (or whatever). Doing the most with small things means a bit more to me than doing the most with big things.
Buddy Holley: 96
Weezer: 94
