Video Link: Hot Butter - Popcorn
"Popcorn" is an instrumental song composed by Gershon Kingsley in 1969 for the album "Music to Moog By" (Because it was performed on the Moog synthesizer). The name is a combination of pop for pop music and corn for kitsch. The song became a worldwide hit in 1972, when it was covered by Hot Butter, an American instrumental band fronted by the keyboard player and studio musician Stan Free.
Note: The same year, French electronic composer and musician Jean-Michel Jarre recorded another version under the pseudonyms Pop Corn Orchestra and Jammie Jefferson. Later he was inspired by this song to compose his 1976 biggest hit "Oxygène (Part IV)".
