It hit #1 on the Cash Box Top 100^[1] and #3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1969. It was also a #2 hit in the United Kingdom, for two non- consecutive weeks, behind 'Lily the Pink' by The Scafford. It was quickly certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of over a million US copies.

Cover versions and later uses[edit]

In 2003, Colin Young recorded an updated version of the song backed by a choir of policemen from the Surrey police force. The proceeds from the sales of the CD went to the Milly's Fund, a trust that was set up in memory of murdered school girl Amanda Dowler. Apparently the song was a favourite of hers.^[9]

'Build Me Up Buttercup' was covered by David Johansen Group in the late 1970s and early 1980s and appears on The David Johansen Group Live CD (1978). The song was used in the 1983 film Luggage of the Gods!, and featured again in movies twice in the 1990s and once in 2007. It was covered by rock band The Goops in 1995 for the soundtrack of Mallrats, with the music video featuring View Askewniverse characters Jay and Silent Bob.

Three years later, it was included (as its original version) in the 1998 film There's Something About Mary where the cast made a video for the song during the end credits, with all the main actors miming to the words in character.

In 2001, the song was used in the pilot of the television show Alias as part of a marriage proposal, sung by character Danny Hecht.

It was also covered by The Frantic in 2007 as a bonus track on their album, Audio & Murder. This version is popularly thought to have been done by both NOFX and The Donnas. English musician Frank Turner recorded a slightly darker cover for the 1969 Key to Change album. The song later appeared on his compilation album The Second Three Years. It was also recorded in the 1960s and performed by, The Valentines (an Australian band) whose backing singer Bon Scott later became the lead singer of AC/DC.

The Los Angeles Angels previously played this song during the seventh-inning stretch, after 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game'; fans most often sing along with it, much like 'Sweet Caroline' with the Boston Red Sox and Pitt Panthers, as well as 'New York, New York' with the New York Yankees.^{[citation needed]} The song is also sung by fans and especially students during Wisconsin Badgers football and Boston College Eagles football games.

In 1997, the song was used in the Philippine television programmes Growing Up and T.G.I.S. (GMA Network).^{[citation needed]}

Who Sings Build Me Up Buttercup

The Orwells cover the song live very fast and often just the chorus.

Leaked recordings from the 'Let It Be' sessions revealed that the Beatles sang the song (along with other covers) in between takes of their own songs.

Pop-rock band Busted included a cover as a B-side to their number 2 single 'Crashed the Wedding'.^[10]

American pop-rock singer Eddie Money covered the song, along with several other '60s classics, on his eleventh studio album, 2007's Wanna Go Back.

During a 'Behind the Scenes' video of the Twenty One Pilots' song 'House of Gold', the lead singer Tyler Joseph can be heard playing and singing an original ukulele cover of the song.
