I never hear the word “buttercup” without thinking of the old song by The Foundations (“Build Me Up Buttercup”). If memory serves, this was the only 45 record Lynne’s niece owned when the niece was like, four or five, so she played it over and over. Consequently, Lynne hated this song.
Considering the previous comments, you stayed in the timeframe. “Build Me Up Buttercup” was from 1968, and the Moody Blues album (I wasn’t familiar with this particular song) came out in 1967.
It stuns me to know that the Moody Blues album came first–I always think of them more as a Seventies band, but they were quite busy in the Sixties.
My comment was at 9 in the morning (yesterday…), after I stumbled through the kitchen and poured myself a cup of ambition, yawning, stretching, trying to come to life. So, almost all of the previous comments stayed in a time frame (the past) discussed later during a Tuesday Afternoon, after I made mine (the future passed). Question? Monday, Monday.
excuse the buttercup fondue … but I went to high school with Keith Knudsen’s little sister, she was a year ahead of me in high school. He bought his parents a very nice car for their anniversary.
You should! I actually thought mine might not come back this year, after the harsh weather, because I lost some other stuff. It was nice when it showed up. Tim planted it years ago!
The volunteer morning glories that once grew among my azaleas seem to have vanished for good, however.
while I am partial to “what’s up buttercup.” I so like “what’s the story, morning glory.”

I wonder if she remembers that.
how could one forget??? She STILL loves that song and plays/sings it all the time.
Crazy kid.
I also like that song.
I have no strong feelings about it one way or another, so it will be useless for you to try to torment me with it.
Meanwhile, “What’s the story, morning glory?” reminds me of my college roommate who used to say that.
Oddly, both Lynne’s niece and my college roommate are named Debbie.
Do you have any Debbie stories that go along with these comments?!?
I think that Little Debbie is a culinary genius, and she sorta looks like my late aunt Glenda.
Now THAT is fondue.
A coworker named Deb used to bring Little Debbie snacks to work. We said it was because they were like her: cheap and easy. 🙂
I wish I had a Swiss Cake Roll now.
Dawn is a feeling…

All of this evokes the title of the album from which your song reference came: Days of Future Passed.
It was what I was listening to when I read the post yesterday morning, Tuesday. 🙂
did you realize that Toulouse Street the album from the Doobie Brothers was released 42 years ago…. i love most of the songs from that album
– thank goodness for “classic rock” stations – which is the only way we 35 year olds know about it…
Yes, how amazing it must have been to hear all that music when it first came out. =)

It wouldn’t be fondue if you’d just tell the unaware that the late Keith Knudsen was once a Doobie Brother.
I didn’t think I had to … you seemed like a fan!
Lynne is definitely. I only know the names of maybe three of the Doobies.
I used to grow morning glories at our old house. It’s about the only thing I miss about that place. Maybe I should plant some next spring….

Now, you guys will have me up with a 1960 earworm for the rest of the night!

See–teens and phones haven’t really changed. Except they do more talking with their keypads than their voices now.
Also–the kid on the phone in the car with all the girls–distracted driving is nothing new.
But coffee’s the next best thing, right? 🙂
It’s essential!
