Build Me Up Buttercup - The Foundations - MP3 instrumental karaoke

“Build Me Up Buttercup” is a song by British soul group The Foundations. It was written by Mike d’Abo and Tony Macaulay and given to The Foundations to record in 1968. By that time, original vocalist Clem Curtis had left the group, so the band recruited the help of singer Colin Young. “Build Me Up Buttercup” was a smash hit for The Foundations, hitting Number 1 on the Cash Box Top 100 chart as well as Number 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It managed to peak at Number 2 in the United Kingdom for two non-consecutive weeks. The song was also certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of over a million copies in the United States. “Build Me Up Buttercup” has continued to maintain a presence in popular culture through its use in movies and TV shows; for instance, it featured prominently in the 1999 romantic comedy There’s Something About Mary. A rock and roll cover by punk group The Goops was included in the 1995 cult film Mallrats.
