I drove my chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry... 😞

My mum used to play this a lot when I was growing up (early 70s).

Took the New Orleans flood for me to find out what a levy was.

Wot? You never had a levy at the bottom of the garden?

We had a fence then garages.

I don't think levys exist in Britain.

On February 3, 1959, a small-plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, United States, killed three popular American rock and roll musicians: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, as well as the pilot, Roger Peterson. The day was later called The Day the Music Died by Don McLean in his 1971 tribute song about the crash, "American Pie".

Harrison Ford in American Graffiti: "Rock and roll died the day Buddy Holly died."
