INSPIRATION FOR THE SONG CAME FROM A JOHN WAYNE CATCH PHRASE IN 1956 MOVIE THE SEARCHERS AND THE LYRICS BY BUDDY HOLLY AND JERRY ALLISON RETAINED SOME OF WAYNES BRASHNESS. THE SUCCESS OF THAT'LL BE THE DAY CAUSED SOME EMBARASSMENT TO A FEW US RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVES WHO HAD REJECTED THE TRACK IN PARTICULAR OWEN BRADLEY WHO HAD RECORDED A SOLO VERSION WITH BUDDY HOLLY THE PREVIOUS YEAR, DECLINED TO RELEASE IT AND DECLARED THAT IT WAS THE WORST SONG HE'D EVER HEARD.

THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COVER VERSIONS AND COPIES OF RAVE ON BUT ONLY BUDDY HOLLY MANAGES TO SOUND NATURAL ON THOSE ALL IMPORTANT FIRST SIX SYLLABLES A CLASSIC HOLLYISM OF COURSE AND WHAT FOLLOWS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW TO CRAM A PERFECT ROCK 'N' ROLL RECORD INTO SOMETHING LESS THAN TWO MINUTES OF PLAYING TIME AND STILL GIVE THE LISTENER VALUE FOR MONEY.
