Popcorn was originally written by Gershon Kingsley in 1969 and re-recorded by the First Moog Quartet and Hot Butter. Gershon Kingsley was a member of the First Moog Quartet, as was Stan Free. Stan Free covered the song under the name Hot Butter.

Nope. The original is by Gershon Kingsley, but is sometimes miscredited as a duo (Gershon/Kingsley) or misspelled — there seem to be a lot of variations on how to write the name.

Of course it's possible I don't have that particular version, but be careful with P2P. People sometimes put wrong names on their MP3 files so that a song appears to be by someone else. For example, the Essem & Aitch version is sometimes credited as Prodigy, and the M & H version can be found under Kraftwerk.

There are online stores that sell Popcorn sheet music — Google should help. I've also made my own sheet music available in PDF and CODA format, which you can find in the Downloads section.

Copyright. Please don't ask for full versions either — there are plenty of other sites where you can find MP3s. I've placed some links in the Downloads section.

Because I have no life. But seriously — a few years ago one of my favourite websites was www.popcornsong.com. It's been gone for a while, so I decided to start a new one. Plus, it's a brilliant song.

Since Crazy Frog is part of the Jamba company who specialises in ringtones, you can get a Popcorn ringtone there. For Nokia phones, here's the composer transcript:
