The video I have selected is from the hilarious movie Something About Mary which features the song. I think most people know Build Me Up Buttercup by The Foundations, regardless of their age. One is an old favorite from the 60s which has proven to be timeless. The prompts are Blossoms, Cherry and Flowers. It’s all about the flowers for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday, hosted by Jim Adams.
