Problem is I do warehouse type work and they are all killing people with overtime right now and I dont know how to do anything else and getting too old to care. They are trying to get me to take a working supervisors job. More money and 70hours a week. I told them no but they keep hounding me. The seasonal depression sucks. It's not a disease as they say. It's cold and everything is dead it's natural to be depressed but the idiots have a pill for everything nowadays even if it's bs.

    I love the fact it is a kind of tune that gets into your headspace and just makes you smile no matter how bad your day is.

    I'm 54 years old. This was one of the songs that I waited for to hear on the radio...in the 1970's as a child. I was familiar with Kiss and Black Sabbath and always played it heavy in my mind when I heard it. Thank you. I think that I might have imagined a bit of 'Whah' to it but that's okay. You nailed it!

    Let me start by saying that I am not a heavy metal fan. Your video probably ended up in my feed because I watch and rewatch the Muppet version of Popcorn featuring the Swedish Chef. I passed over your video several times and then, one day, decided to watch it. I am so glad I did because, first of all, you are supremely talented and I can appreciate talent in any musical genre (those arpeggios! OMG!), and second, this song translated really well to heavy metal! So while I'll probably never be a fan of heavy metal in general, I'd certainly love to hear more of your music.

      Like several others commenting, I too was watching the Swedish Chef. I grew up with the Muppet Show and even watch the show at work at the fire station. I said "what the heck" and clicked on this video. WOW! Very well performed by a very talented artist.

    Awesome! Way to metal it up without messing it up! El original fue uno de mis favoritos cuando era niño. Me gusta que mantuviste las partes simples simples y dejaste que se acumulara como el original. ¡Es agradable ver a un "Shredder" que confía en su talento y no siente la necesidad de destrozarlo todo! ¡Muchas gracias!

I bounced my kids up and down on a bed as I sang this song (they were the popcorn), so i have double happy memories of it. Gracias por su trabaja. I am glad you have reinterpreted this awesome song.Good work! Thank you from San Antonio, Texas, USA.
