Build Me Up Buttercup - Mono	Sad Songs That Sound Happy	League 8 (Feb 2026)	Regina Scime	2 judd.baker +1 — I almost skipped voting for this because it seems like perhaps the most obvious submission for the category (it was the first one I thought of but it was already swiped). But upon relisten I can’t resist voting, it really is perfect for this. Such an incredible bop and it’s funny because it doesn’t even try to disguise how agonized the lyrics are, it wears the discordance on its sleeve Spicey Riche +1 shea nowicki +1 Peter Seeley 0 — See comment on the above sound SamRobertsND 0 — The romance songs don't impress me Joseph Harvey 0 — This is following the tropes of a certain kind of pop song closely enough that it doesn’t feel truly or authentically sad. I don’t feel like I’m hearing about a real human experience. Edward James 0 — I love to hate and hate to love this song. It fits though, I can't argue with that. Brad Stalcup 0 — I thought about submitting this one. fionmul -1 — Not really sad in the way I was looking for here. I think the music goes with the meaning.
