Crying by Don Mclean (Huh?) >>



Don Mclean is better known for his song &quot;American Pie.&quot;

&quot;Bye bye miss American Pie, drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
and the good old buys were drinking whiskey and rye
singin' this will be the day that I die,
this will be the day that I die...

It's a song about the airplane crash and death of Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens. Although it's a myth that the plane they were in was called &quot;American Pie.&quot;
