(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care - Buddy Holly / Elvis Presley Cover - Jez Quayle Rock and Roll

Elvis performed this classic Leiber and Stoller song in the 1957 film 'Jailhouse Rock'. My rendition here, however, is based on Buddy Holly's cover version.

Awesome job really good on the guitar

[@RocknRollSongbook]

Thanks very much Jamie!

[@oldbladderhorn]

cracking bit of strumming. perfect amount of energy between voice and guitar.👍
(what size pick is it being used) .. this tune it a perfect deception .. annoying to get right.
you've got it down to a tee.
you should go for that Joni Mitchell vib.. Latin Am/tango feel... and really let it rip?
that "your so square...baby? bit. I must get round to memorising this lyric some shape 😉👍

[@RocknRollSongbook]

Thanks very much! I use pretty thin picks: .46mm Jim Dunlop Delrin picks

[@michaelwilson9475]

nice!! never been a fan of that song but you did a great job. love watching your videos. especially when you do buddy Holly

[@RocknRollSongbook]

Thanks very much Michael! Well, I still have a few more Buddy Holly songs in mind to record ...so 'stay tuned'. All the best, Jez 😊

[@michaelwilson9475]

Rock 'n' Roll Songbook cool!! I personally think that one of the most underrated buddy Holly songs is reminiscing..

[@RocknRollSongbook]

Yes, I agree! I really like that song. The other day I recorded a version for my ukulele channel, and I will be recording a guitar version. If you fancy a look at my uke version, here it is: th-cam.com/video/s7cumTNEUNQ/w-d-xo.html

[@Ispasoiu76]

Hi Jez, can u make a how to play for this song ? Looks quite difficult for a beginner like me. I would really love that. You have this song in your book that I just purchase it but I can't find nowhere a "how to play" for Baby I Don't Care. Thank you so much for everything you do

[@edgarcordoba5639]

Un cover muy bueno como siempre. Saludos desde México (tal vez debí escribirlo en ingles)

[@RocknRollSongbook]

Muchas gracias Edgar! Hablo una pequeña cantidad de español. Ojalá pudiera hablar más. Puedo traducir en linea. Me alegra que te gusten mis videos. 😊

[@angela8026]

Great cover! What chords are you using?

[@RocknRollSongbook]

Thanks very much Angela! I’ve created a free online songbook where you can view and download a song sheet (with lyrics and chords) for this song, and many others. Here's a link to the guitar songs: jezquaylesongbook.home.blog/guitar-songs/
