Ok, hello, one website says it's a Temptations song and then it's nowhere to be found...help?

I think you're thinking of "Build Me Up Buttercup." That's The Foundations.

if you're thinking of

"why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup baby"

that was The Foundations

*falls over and dies*

I am officially the world's biggest moron.

:blush:

So my mom just found another site, that says it's by the Temptations, I'm listening to it as I type this, she even downloaded it somehow, I dunno. And she said that she listened to it by the Foundations and it wasn't the same thing...hmmm..

It's the Foundations (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000002V57/qid=1084757750/sr=1-3/ref=pd_ka_3/103-4474228-9537418?v=glance&s=music). The file she downloaded was probably mislabeled. That happens a lot with file-sharing software. :)

but she doesn't have a downloading system, she downloaded it off a website...

I see. Must a typo. Here (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=UIDSUB020404142046112448&sql=H186784) is a list of artists who have recorded "Build Me Up Buttercup," and the albums on which they appear.

I tried, but it's Real Player file. I don't have Real Player, unfortunately.

Hmm...well, I dunno, I've seen the Temptations listed two places, and it sounds like the same people who sing My Girl...so...*shrugs*

I understand. I can even hear the vocal similarities, but it's the Foundations. :)

Oh, and I just downloaded Real Player and listened to the file. It's definitely the Foundations. I'm going to e-mail the people who run that site and tell them they're incorrect.

Edit: I've been browing through that site, and I've found tons of errors.

Ur sure? B/C I listened to the cd on Amazon and it sounds nothing like the one on that website...and my boyfriend thought it was the Temptations also...hmm...this is weird...oh well, I guess I'll just listen to it online and not care anymore.

OH! I see where we've gone wrong. For some reason, this is a re-recorded version (probably due to record label politics). Look at the dissatisfied reviews of the album on Amazon. I'd even say it sounds like it was recorded in the '90s... badly. Sorry I didn't notice that before.

This link (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000068QXT/qid=1084763374/sr=1-2/ref=pd_ka_2/103-4474228-9537418?v=glance&s=music) is better.

Clay sang that on AI last year...

*sings*

Why don't you build me up?
Buttercup baby just to let me down
Mess me around
and then worst of all,
you never call baby when you say you will
But I love you still
I need You!
more than anyone darlin'
you know that i have from the staaart
so build me
buttercup
but dont break my heart

(it's a British song I know so it can't be the Temptations unless they're Brits and I didn't know it)
