No it was made by Gershon Kingsley in 1969 to test out his new Moog Synthesizer. By that time even Moog Synthesizer had been around for 5 years, but had just come to the consumer market and Kingley was making music to promote them.
This was one of my favorite one-hit wonders of the '70s. It set a new standard for the "pure Moog" sound, exemplifying the synthesizer's ability to create otherworldly soundscapes. Its influence was widespread, clearly shown in Cat Stevens' "Kypros" and "Was Dog a Doughnut" from his 1977 "Izitso" album, as well as many disco/funk numbers. It was also great fun to dance to. Thanks for posting!
I'm 74 now but I heard tis when it first came out and I loved it. So whimsical. It's still fun to hear after all these years .... and .... I love popping my own popcorn in a dutch oven. No fancy equipment. The old fashioned way.
@@elskieuwu how do you use shazam to find a song that only exists in your head? If you don't know the name you can't play it, you can only sing the tune. I've tried that with shazam and it didn't work.
@@holidayoreoreal what I’m referring to is the album "mouth moods" by Neil cicirega. With the track "floor corn". I recommend you go listen to it so you can get the joke.
This laid the ground for disco, and techno after that. A truly pivotal piece of music. So many of us 70s teenagers dancing to this in our furnished basements...
Or a theater-style popcorn maker that plays this song after you put the kernels into the kettle. The closest I'll ever get is playing this song as I start a batch of popcorn in the popcorn maker we have at work.
+Jamie Dickinson Back in '69 is when Robert Moog introduced the first commercially marketed Moog synthesizer. I first heard the group Butter's infamous track over a radio back in 1972 while at Lackland AFB and thought to myself "what the ...." Years past and when looking over the last inventories of 12" vinyl being replaced by cds guess what I found? Hot Butter with butter melting all over a Moog on the album cover! First song Popcorn!
+Jamie Dickinson It got to number 2 in the UK late on in the summer holidays of 1972,takes me right back there (even though I was only 7) but still crazily ahead of its time! My plumber came in to give the boiler its annual check and he started singing it and he's about 25.
+Harry McShane that's because mainstream (= where money is involved) music went backwards since a lot of years. look around, nothing but wasteland. while it thrives down at the roots. shame on the corps for their knee-jerk cowardice.
Kudos to the great master Gershon Kingsley who composed this track and first recorded and published it in 1969. And bravo to the Hot Butter for this cover, which is the most popular version ever.
1972 - This was, hands-down, the very first original "synth-pop" song ever to be released worldwide with that amount of popularity. I dare say it set the ball in motion for every synth-pop band to come and go since then.
Haven't heard this since I was a KID! I would go up north and stay with my Mom's parents in Ironwood MI. My Grammy would get these raido bingo cards from a local grocery store. Then during the week in the afternoon at a certain time this song would come on and then it was BINGO TIME! Grammy would take a break from her chores sit down with me and we would play raido BINGO. Sigh........such good memories.☺ Miss you Grammy. 😢❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌷❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤
This song was hip on L.A. radio in the springtime of 1972, when I was 3 at the time. It peaked in June of that year; it was, and still is, a quirky little song. =)
This song has been stuck in my head for at least a decade. I thought for all that time I had just made up the song in my head. As it turns out, it exists and do not remember ever discovering it.
Haha, showed my mum this comment, had her saying a whole presentation about how people know the tune of the song but not the name or the version they knew as a kid cause there's like 10 lol
This is the first time searching "Do Do Do Do Dododo" worked, and I am so thankful. My dad played this song with a tetra truck video when I was in late elementary school/early middle school and I haven't been able to find it for those past 10 or so years.
I remember hearing it back around July 1972. Playful, pointless, and total fun. It took a long time to hit the national top ten, but did it. Just a few years later, such novelty records were not major hits. But this one is a joy.
When I was a kid in the 1970s, this song was played during commercial breaks every Sunday morning on tv during the reruns of Abbott & Costello show and The Bowery Boys
This is one of the greatest anf most enlightening songs I ever heard as a kid... and still like it again!! Our radio played it then, and my MP3 play will hear it now!
next time do Whats New Pussycat a bunch of times in a row... then around Kansas put another song in there, then immediately back to Whats New Pussycat for the duration. There is a great comedy piece on this but I cant think of the comedian right now
my high school would play this song sometimes between periods, and my chemistry teacher really loved this song. one day a student found it for him and now this is why I'm here
+Jeffrey Emerson Actually 1972 was the peak of synths in rock and pop music, especially Moog synths (Yes, ELP etc) and the album Switched on Bach made a big splash in 1968. Popcorn was just riding the wave.
Pretty sure the peak of the synth was the 80s. How could you not notice all of the awesome synth sounds in '80s songs? I actually want to buy a synth as a result of listening to 80s songs.. lol.

I just heard this on Music Choice '70s station (probably for the first time). Sounded like it could've came out in 1982 instead of 1972. I'm sure they influenced many artists.
The ground breaking game changer of the later 20th century! This one got ELP, Kraftwerk, Be-Bop-Deluxe, The Cars, B-52's and Devo thinking! And a special thank you to Gary Newman for the front row seats - twice! I was ELECTRIC!
this brings back some great memories in the early 70's i was on a school trip to Austria they only had 2 English records on the duke-box this was one of them the other was Sweet - Little Willy all the time spent in the hotel both records were playing continuous i bet the locals that were in the hotel bar while we were there are still whistling this song they heard it so many times
If memory serves me correctly, this was the first song produced by computer controlled synthesizers. It was a big hit when I was in 3rd grade.
No. It was Daisy Bell in 1961

That's the ONLY way to pop popcorn!!!😁

My class would run around the gymnasium while this song played.
We had dance in gym and this was one of the most memorable songs
Hahaha same!!!

This is my ringtone!! Whenever my phone rings people around me start bobbing their heads and tapping their feet! Catchy, classic timeless tune!!!
Terrific!!
I'm right at it!
Lmao 😂
I like that picture I love that song so much pop pop popcorn pop
in second grade, our principal always put this song on when it was time to sell popcorn for the school. *LOVE IT.*
I want a microwave that has a popcorn button that also plays this song when pressed.
Actually, we have one. At the exit door of our fun pool. Located at Luckenwalde, Germany.
Sounds cooll
So cool, now I'm in mood for popcorn, I'm not "pressed for time" until I've "pressed the microwave button" for time
Or a theater-style popcorn maker that plays this song after you put the kernels into the kettle. The closest I'll ever get is playing this song as I start a batch of popcorn in the popcorn maker we have at work.

Why does this sound like you’d hear this in a competitive puzzle game like Tetris 99?
Because it is. Not Tetris, but an arcade game by the name of 'Pengo.'
Don't forget also in Digger :)
This song has been stuck in my head for at least a decade. I thought for all that time I had just made up the song in my head.
As it turns out, it exists and do not remember ever discovering it.
Haha, showed my mum this comment, had her saying a whole presentation about how people know the tune of the song but not the name or the version they knew as a kid cause there's like 10 lol
One of the catchiest songs in ‘72. I used to play the bass part on my bass clarinet. Groovy...
Classic song by a classic band, nothing better than sitting in front of the fireplace eating popcorn and drinking hot chocolate. ❤
"hot butter popcorn" never have a band name and song title fit so perfectly together !
This is the first time searching "Do Do Do Do Dododo" worked, and I am so thankful. My dad played this song with a tetra truck video when I was in late elementary school/early middle school and I haven't been able to find it for those past 10 or so years.
When I die , as i take my last breath, I want this song played. Blast it at my funeral also
Im gonna make a popcorn maker that plays this song when it makes popcorn, for real
+BubbleLPS me too.
I went to Tenerife in 1998 and if you put some money in this popcorn machine, it played this song.
There are 1000 of these in germany LOL
i'll buy it when you have.

Pop music, get it? Because...
...yeah.

One of the best instrumental tracks ever. Used to listen to this in the car and it always made me feel content inside
For some reason this song makes me laugh like hell
i know what you mean. it is pretty humorous. reminds me of popcorn in the microwave.
I remember hearing it back around July 1972. Playful, pointless, and total fun. It took a long time to hit the national top ten, but did it. Just a few years later, such novelty records were not major hits. But this one is a joy.
Because it's popular for no reason
Samuel The Manual It is popular because in the 70s this song was a revolution for modern electronic music.
me too honestly. i thought i was alone ion that one
Best remake od the First Electronic song ever.
♾️😤🤜🩵🤛😤♾️
I remember our music teacher had us listen to this and we had to all guess what the sound was . I miss the 90s
My music teacher used to make us dance to this song all the time in elementary school lol. Good times. This brought back a lot of memories.
TIMELESS CLASSIC RIGHT HERE!!! man 3 and 4th grade music class was a time.
The best musical theme of 1972 ! Hot Butter - Popcorn Song ! Thanks a lot France, greetings from Chile 🎹🎹🥁🎵🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶

One of my favourites fron the 70's..along with Liquidator..Booker T & the MG'S...
we used to dance to this in my music class every friday it was the best!
I've been listening this nonstop throughout my New York - Los Angeles flight...
cool
next time do Whats New Pussycat a bunch of times in a row...
then around Kansas put another song in there, then immediately back to Whats New Pussycat for the duration.
There is a great comedy piece on this but I cant think of the comedian right now
It's catchy, you never get bored!
AND YOUR STILL ALIVE?
They also play this nonstop at Guantanamo bay.
This is the DEFINITIVE version of Popcorn! Imitated, but never duplicated!
Wow, that must have been considered futuristic in 1969.
Yes. Totally new tones.
so true xd

Pretty sure the peak of the synth was the 80s. How could you not notice all of the awesome synth sounds in '80s songs?

And it would be arranged and conducted by John Williams.
Love this melody. It gets stuck in my head.

This was the music that played at the end of recess or lunch telling us to go the assembly area back when I was in kindergarten to year 4. Memories.

I'm gonna crank this up while I got my Orville Redinbacher popcorn going in the microwave.
I have this song stuck in my head for a very long time.
Heard this at a Magic show 7-10 years ago. Just heard it on the radio this morning and it happened to say the title and artist. 10 years I would have the chime occasionally go through my head and I could never find it was. Now I know.
I was 11 years old when this comes out and still enjoy it today
a true jewel of rhytmic oddity. the timing and shuffle on those old analog sequencers could be changed in realtime to give this unique squrkiness.

1970s in one song
this song played all the time on AM radio back in the 70's....thinking of my old transistor radio playing it

This was my JAM as a kid. I was Messing around with my (at the time) new Alexa and asking her to play random songs that I didn’t even know existed
even if you are thinking of jumping off a bridge,this song has powers that make you change your mind.
Let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor
let the bodies let the... FLOooOOOooOoOOoooOOOOoooOOR!!!!!!!!!1111!!!1111!!!
The ground breaking game changer of the later 20th century! This one got ELP, Kraftwerk, Be-Bop-Deluxe, The Cars, B-52's and Devo thinking! And a special thank you to Gary Newman for the front row seats - twice! I was ELECTRIC!
Don't forget Jean-Michel Jarre.

This is the music of a Chinese cooking show I used to come across as a kid.
Guy: What is your favourite song ?

this brings back some great memories in the early 70's i was on a school trip to Austria they only had 2 English records on the duke-box this was one of them the other was Sweet - Little Willy all the time spent in the hotel both records were playing continuous i bet the locals that were in the hotel bar while we were there are still whistling this song they heard it so many times
I love this song sooo much!!!
Oh my God, this is like a song they play at bowling alleys 😂.
i remember this particular version of popcorn being used in a math program on tv in the early nineties. been looking for it ever since
It's funny because they made the songs time it finishes the same for microwaving popcorn! LOL
I remember when they played this on the muppet show
Yesss
This was one of Art Bell's bumper songs on Coast 2 Coast.
Really? I don't remember it.
As an axeman I fully endorse and love this song. Groundbreaking and still catchy. Love it.
This song never gets old
This blew my mind when I found out this was made 50 years ago. It sounds very late 90s-early 2000s to me.
My very best favorite song of my childhood
I found this song in the game NEED FOR MADNESS. Best childhood!!!!!
Don't make me feel so old, I was in college when this was new.
Wow I loved this record on an old 45 LP when I was in grade school. It’s such an underrated song
Charles Bowshier my brother had this on a 45 when I was a kid I loved it so much. I have since showed it to my kids who are now in their 20's
This and Monster Mash :)
Man I feel old....cant wait to let my grandkids hear this one, they'll get a kick out of it I think ;)
