In response to the above: They recorded a cover of it on their 1978 "MIU" album.
Since the Beach Boys did the smart thing here and let Al Jardine sing lead and stuck very close to the late great Buddy Holly's brilliant original, this song is very very good, especially for the Beach Boys at this point in their career. It deservingly charted at #59, but I still recommend Holly's original from '57.
