	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Music (The Crickets)
		A very large obstacle loomed in the path of their plans, however: Buddy's contract with Decca prohibited him from rerecording any of the material from his Decca sessions for a period of five years, and this prohibition included the song "That'll Be the Day" (even though Decca had declined to issue it on a record).
		Buddy and his bandmates (J.I. Allison and Niki Sullivan) were left to come up with a suitable name, and inspired by the Spiders (one of Buddy's favorite rhythm-and-blues groups), they started flipping through the "Insects" section of an encyclopedia at J.I. Allison's house.
		When Buddy and the Crickets recorded the song "I'm Gonna Love You Too," a real cricket that had made its way into the recording studio did let loose with a chirp that was captured in the song's fade-out; since the sound fit the rhythm of the tune quite nicely, it was left on the tape.

	The Crickets - Biography - AOL Music
		The "Crickets" started out as pure fiction -- the name a ruse by Buddy Holly, Jerry Allison, and Joe B. Mauldin to avoid the provisions of a 1956 contract that Holly had signed with Decca Records, that would have prevented the release of their then-new recording of "That'll Be The Day" on the Brunswick label.
		The name stuck, and for the next 15 months there were records by the Crickets and records by Buddy Holly -- which were virtually interchangeable -- and they were billed as Buddy Holly & The Crickets.
		In the wake of the revival of interest in Holly's music at the end of the 1970's, the Crickets reformed on a steady basis, with Joe B. Mauldin returning to the lineup after more than a decade out of music.

		Holly's ringing guitar and hiccupping vocals drew from a different sensibility than did Berry's blues-tinged playing, but the backbeat and optimism of the lyrics (even the heartbreak suggested it was great to be a teenager ready to fall in love again) brought them together under the rock 'n' roll banner.
