I love it.

 

 

because everyone hates it 

[Brandon]

it really is the worst song. if i was a sports franchise, the last song i would think to pick would involve being let down.

[Jason]

If chicks and little kids at the stadium would stop dancing to it they might change it.

Is there a buttercup monkey?

Tweet by Bill Shakin of the Times:

This just in: "Build Me Up Buttercup" is back for another year at Angel Stadium. "You let me down again."

I liked the song but it has been run into the ground.  Arte should go to YouTube in his private area with a Reese's and play it for himself.

you bastards.  now it's stuck in my head.  

[Troll Daddy]

I have no problem with the song but time for a change to this ...

I don't really care about the song to me it's whatever.  But this should be a very simple concept for everyone to understand.  It is Arte's wife's favorite song, so it isn't going anywhere.

My sister in law has been an angels fan her entire life.  She detests change.  I tell her that going to a game feels like I am stepping into 2005.  The intros on the video board, the Calling All Angels, Buttercup.  I can't stand it.

She on the other hand, loves the sameness.  LOVES Buttercup.

 

Can't please everybody.

Although if they were to change it, it should be Centerfield by John Fogerty.

We could change it to another buttercup song

i've been advocating this for several years. it's a terrific song for the 7th inning stretch.

Topic closed.  If my wife gave me the go ahead to sink gobs of money into a sports franchise, I too would look for opportunities to keep her happy.

Oh,  that also explains the Hamilton signing.  It didn't make any sense until just now.

Arte isn't white. He didn't need his wife's permission.

They play this at my college's baseball game and it's a huge hit.  Everybody stands up, claps, and sings it.

CALLING ALL ANGELS needs to stay....I mean...it just does.

Buttercup Blows Chunks.....GAWD AWFUL.....

The lead singer of Buttercup just died on March 27.

Don't you guys understand it's not what the straight males *want* anymore? That sh*ts LONG gone. I mean, you've heard the radio lately, right? 

The females love it, so it stays. They go to a game once or twice a year---aren't interested in anything happening on the field--and they can dance to it. So the stadium will continue to play it -- because the females love it. Don't you guys understand how it works these days? If the females love it, it stays. Because female interest means $$$$$. Even if they have men buy the tickets and the booze and the food, it's so the female can have fun. The females also decide whether or not they're going to a game.

12-24 year old females is the demographic of CASH in 2017.  

The emasculation of America was going on for about the last 30 years, but it was swept under the rug inconspicuously, and now we're seeing the result. But to me, personally? Continuing to play buttercup in 2017 makes the stadium feel SO DATED.

I guess it could be worse. It could be Katy Perry or Gaga or Cyrus, and we'd be stuck with it every 7th inning for the next decade. 

And in my own post, suddenly, I don't hate Buttercup that much.
