This version was recorded in 2006, which makes it younger than the Crazy Frog version. The original was recorded in 1969 by Gershon Kingsley for his album 'Music To Moog By' 'Moog' refers to the Moog Synthesizer, a modular synthesizer developed by the American engineer Robert Moog, upon which the song was originally played Something to consider is Telstar, recorded in 1962 by The Tornadoes, used a Clavioline. The Clavioline was an electrinoc keyboard that paved the way for analogue and digital synthesizers So while a far cry from Eisenfunk, electronic synth pop really began in the 1960s

I visited Syria in 1991. I stayed with my grandparents in a city called Homs. There was a popcorn cart that would come down our street every so often, and it played an Arabic song to this melody. Now I know why. Incredible!!!!!! 😮😮😮

i found it... i finally found it after at least 5 years of wondering and searching. im only 13, but i was 6 when i first heard this, my dad and i use to listen to it all the time and it was an absolute *pop* it was my favourite song and im glad i found it again

[@anafig33]

They were best known for their 1972 version of the Moog synthesizer instrumental hit "Popcorn", originally recorded by its composer, Gershon Kingsley, in 1969. I was 13 when I heard ( I was residing, in Europe than,) from my neighbor playing it...he just came from Overseas...Vidal, used to get Records that wasn't played in my Country. The sound was Amazing, Superb. I was justa 13 year old but knew that this Sound 🎶 like others were very different... It wasn't even NOT played on the Radio...this is 1972. Thank you, Vidal...❤ 🎼🎵🎶 It still playing on this side of the World...🎼🌟1🇺🇸🫶It melted in my brain, for ever❤️‍🔥🇺🇸

Thank you for this! I remember this as a major pop culture phenomenon when I was in first grade, circa 1983. My entire elementary school learned what we called the popcorn dance and performed it en masse at a designated time. Supposedly numerous schools performed it simultaneously in an orchestrated act of pop culture unity. Yet when I tell people about it today, I get blank stares. It blows my mind that something that huge could be so forgotten. Or was my school just weird?

[@Confidence_isFashion]

We had schooldance every year where all schools of our town came together in a hall and we all had to dance to different songs with parents watching. This one as well. One time this tempo and as grand finale this but increasingly up tempo. We had to practice during our PE lessons. I can't remember much songs but this one is deeply ingrained in my system after dancing to it for 6 years. And it's been 20 years since the last time.

My wife is currently making popcorn on our stovetop. I said, "You know what we need right now? The song POPCORN.'" Since she, too, is a Baby Boomer, she knew exactly what I meant. Zipped to this post for the gratification of this great song. Thank you. P.S. Our stovetop stuff was great, too!

[@beckyp9633]

Oh my god, I never knew the name of this song. Heard this version in kindergarten. The school performed every year to this version that I was there as a fun percussion song with the different grades, up to some grade I don't remember... Then you sat and watched. The grades involved in the performance played different percussion instruments or poles you needed a partner for to bang on the floor or smack together. There was also a group on stage in all black with white gloves. All of it was done in the dark under black lights in the gym. I looked forward to this every year until I left elementary school. It was so much more fun to perform it, but was awesome to watch and hear.💖💖💖💖 I never knew what it was called. 😄
