Band Name Origins:
- Actually, the name was chosen because the historical reel-to-reel demos were recorded in the drummer's garage after dark, and when they listened to the playback you could hear crickets in the background between songs and sometimes in quiet passages. Submitted by: Matthew K.

Songs That Open With Their Titles:
"Everyday"
Opening Lines: Everyday it's a-gettin' closer, Goin' faster than a rollercoaster, Love like yours will surely come my way A-hey, a-hey-hey.
Comments: "Everyday" was one of the few the Crickets' song hits (although Holly's vocals and rhythm guitar are prominent on the recording of it) not written by Buddy Holly. "Everyday" was written by Norman Petty and Charles Hardin.

| "Early In The Morning"
Opening Lines: Well, you're gonna miss me early in the morning one of these days.
Comments: A rather prophetic hit for the Crickets, "Early In The Morning" again written by Buddy Holly. Prophetic in the fact that Holly would be killed on an "early in the morning" on February 3, 1959.
