The Popcorn song
« 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.

It sounds like music from one of those old school video games.  :P

Are you talking about the 1969 version or the 1972 version?  There are multiple versions of the same song listed there, including the cover versions.

I know this is almost 10 years late, but the artist behind the version TWC played in the 80s is "Billy Mann".

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