"Popcorn" is an instrumental song composed by Gershon Kingsley in 1969 for the album Music to Moog By. It was performed on the Moog synthesizer and released on the Audio Fidelity label. 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 pop band. Since then, multiple versions of the piece have been produced and released, including those by Anarchic System, Omar Khorshid, The Boomtang Boys, Popcorn Makers, Vyacheslav Mescherin, M & H Band, Aphex Twin, Crazy Frog, the Muppets, and Marsheaux.
