## Lyrics

[Intro]

(Won't you get out of my head?)

(Electrify my golden tooth)

[Verse 1]

Forget it, I'll do it sometime, ooh

I'm locked up on the button

Can't you do it sometime?

Pushed it in too far, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

Fine, electrify mine, oh

Electrify my golden tooth

Can't look at your eyes

Without sparking some...

[Chorus]

Electrify my heart!

Electrify my heart!

(Yeah, haha)

[Verse 2]

(Yeah)

Surprise, I'm in the same time, o-ah

Beneath the same sun (Oh yeah)

Oh man, you cut me to size (Ow!)

My little buttercup (That hurt)

[Pre-Chorus]

Fine, electrify mine

Electrify my golden tooth

Can't look at those eyes

Without sparking some...

[Chorus]

Electrify my heart!

Electrify my heart!

Electrify my heart!

Electrify my heart!

[Outro]

(Oh)

(Please, so)

(Ple-)
## Notes

Buttercup has since become Jack Stauber's most famous and iconic song to date, gaining the most amount of attention and praise out of every song that Jack has ever made. The song has been praised for its emotional vocals and lyrics, its soothing guitars, and its very nostalgic sound. It's also considered a very strong and memorable starting track for the Pop Food album.

The most notable aspect of Buttercup's rise in fame is a fan-made music video made for Buttercup by YouTuber by lisuga, which featured the song playing over a montage of the 2013 Japanese anime short-film Kick-Heart. This video has since become the overall most viewed Jack Stauber related video on all of YouTube and has had arguably the biggest impact on Buttercup's popularity. Some other notable aspects towards Buttercup's popularity would be a chip-tune Earthbound cover of Buttercup created by MixAndMash and a dance trend of people dancing to Buttercup with stills of the video floating onto the screen. Various other viral videos of people dancing to Buttercup and multiple other covers of Buttercup would also go viral and boost the song's popularity.

## Trivia

* As stated above, Buttercup has become the most famous song that Jack Stauber has ever released publicly.
* The fan-made music video for Buttercup by lisuga, as stated above, has become the most popular Jack Stauber related video on all of YouTube, surpassing all of his videos and all songs auto-generated by YouTube.
	+ Despite the amount of popularity the fan-made music video would receive, lisuga would state that they felt some guilt for making the video, as said in a pinned comment left on the video. They would thank the viewers for the amount of popularity the video had gotten, but would eventually express the guilt they felt from making the video, believing that the fan-made video had discouraged Jack from making a music video of his own. They would also clarify that made sure Jack would get all credits for the song, as well as Masaaki Yuasa and Production I.G, the creators of Kick-Heart, getting credits for the footage and animation rather than them, with lisuga saying they should only get credits for putting them together.
* Some problems that have come from Buttercup's popularity are the amount of illegal usages of the song, often being used in unrelated advertisements and promotions without Jack's permission and licensing. This would be the case for MixAndMash's chip-tune cover of the Buttercup as well. Jack would notably bring this up in a public Patreon post when discussing the issues with his auto-generated YouTube music channel, giving his viewers encouragement to report any of the advertisements that do so.
* Buttercup was played in an official advertisement for Jack's shop website when he first released the vinyl edition of Pop Food.
* The visual for Buttercup in the Pop Food trailer consists of a CGI sideways heart on a grassy landscape at night being electrocuted, as a reference to the lyrics. It then cuts to a spinning Buttercup flower on a sky background.
	+ A still frame of the heart seen the Buttercup visual from the Pop Food release promo was later used as the cover art for My Dumb Heart, an unreleased song from Tumblr.
