"Build Me Up Buttercup" is a song written by Mike d'Abo and Tony Macaulay, and released by the Foundations in 1968 with Colin Young singing lead vocals. Young had replaced Clem Curtis during 1968, and this was the first Foundations hit on which he sang.

It hit No. 1 on the Cash Box Top 100[1] and No. 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1969. It was also a No. 2 hit in the United Kingdom, for two non-consecutive weeks, behind "Lily the Pink" by the Scaffold. It was quickly certified gold by the RIAA for sales of over a million US copies.

A version by British trio Partyboys reached No. 44 on the UK Singles Chart in 2003.[20]

A fast-paced version by The Goops was used as part of a promotional tie-in music video for the 1995 film Mallrats. The music video shows the two main characters, Jay and Silent Bob, with a turntable playing the original song by the Foundations before smashing the turntable and beginning the version of the song by The Goops. This video was later included as a bonus feature in later DVD an BluRay home releases of Mallrats.[21]

It was covered by the Australian group The Valentines in a live TV appearance in 1969.[citation needed]
