Title: The Popcorn song
Post by: Mike M on October 26, 2011, 05:29:56 PM: Have we ever figured out who did the Popcorn song in this clip, which was on TWC back in the 80s? It can't be Hot Butter's version as I've sampled that version on iTunes before.

I've sampled that and that's not it.

Yah, someone emailed me the ID a few years ago.
