[DaNiederlander]

So what classical composition did Gershon Kingsley get his inspiration for this song?

[61kingsize]

on a MOOG synthesizer

[DEVILXIIII]

Ну погоди)

[Hageltrast]

I like the fact that Gershon was born the same year as my grandmother and still was in to techno music. Times Are changing!

[krzysiekzlublina]

Fajna muzyka, nie wiedziałem że jest tak stara...

[MIKE88717]

Good memories

@tsfreh doe niet zo zielig

[DjJellys90sDriveIn]

ik vind de progressie maar kut.

[tsfreh]

@DjJellys90sDriveIn kut verziekt je taal

[deneusaap]

the only great version. can't believe all the covers mess up this progression so badly

[troskaska]

@deneusaap agree

[OmdatRick]

I listened to this when i was high. For 3 hours.

[yoyodaim]

this song is realy funny and it is a song that stuck in your backhead and thats why i love it

[Hatsudenshogi]

It is nostalgically awesome.

[RaphaellaBiologia]

Thumb up if you thought the original version was Jean Michel Jarre!

[DjSlayer32]

People think techno or Electronic music is recent, ha its been around for some time, this is only one example!

[tjoolder8]

@DjSlayer32 Techno in the old time was better, now it's dubstep, hardcore,... That sucks like hell.

[theHackerOfMayhem]

perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fuck4freei]

61 people never been in the cinema

[JJayJcker]

wilk i zajac- nu pogodi

[danielgch2]

i don't believe this is not in the record collector

[matryoshkacheese]

SOMEBODY PLEASE DRAG ME AWAY FROM MY COMPUTER!!!!!!!

[lennonzappa71]

If you guys think "Popcorn" was ahead of its time in 1969-I encourage you to check out Raymond Scott's stuff-like "Cindy Electronium" from 1959-and you'll be amazed.

[TheVanyamba]

Aliens wrote this song =) Hear the voice of Mars =))

[johnrickgarcia]

Ya sentía que el plagiario del tal Jarré no había jamás compuesto esta magnífica obra, ese tal musiquillo nunca logrará una genialidad como ésta gran obra de Gershon

[lespaulfanofsparta]

came here after watching the Moog movie which is not mentioned but Gershon Kingsley is interviewed. heard this song probably 40 years ago played by a music teacher. It's always haunted me and I guess I know why now. Here's the ghost in the machine, the inventor and the composer.

[keyboardjeff]

Fantastic. Finally I found the original. Thank you for sharing!

[MsOrkhan1]

Nu poqodi !=)))

[The1800mexico]

How did you got hold of this piece of art.

[Korban3]

@self Remember to drop acid to this after dinner.

[TheEvilJoel]

annoying but catchy. I was warned

[Cedridor82]

Kevinchapelier and all the other idiots that think that this is a remix of the crazy frog remix. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL!!!!! Go wiki it.

[bikegirl2]

@Cedridor82 there probably to stupid to read any way

[DemonShadow2]

@Cedridor82 yeah crazy frog is a REMAKE!

[DemonShadow2]

@Cedridor82 cray frog is only remake albums

[WolfySnackrib666]

@Cedridor82 Crazy frog... that's the kind of fuck up that makes me ashamed of being Swedish. Sweden: Inventors of the Crazy Frog - WE'RE SORRY!!!

[HadesHellHammer]

@WolfySnackrib666 dont be sorry but you guys gave us abba

[WolfySnackrib666]

@HadesHellHammer ABBA?! Fuck that shit! Now I'm truly sorry and pissed! I haaaate abba...

[DJViggoxOfficial]

@Cedridor82 how would this be a remix if it is made in fucking 1969? Crazy Frog was made in the early 2000... Who the fuck is so dumb that he thinks this is a remix of the Crazy Frog -shitversion one? OMG

[delcaminopiedra]

Lo más "IN" en los Pubs de Londres en 1972!

Ay! Cómo movía yo el esqueleto entonces!Vamos! Que lo sigo moviendo,eh?

[HohMahGawd]

the cover by muse is pretty good it sounds like an epic video game that involves of eating wizards and slaying dragons....this one sounds really trippy which is awesome...so weird how the same song can have SUCH a different feel to it

[HooperSuperElmo64]

@57worldwide I think you will find that the average person/girl seeing practically any celebrity will result in some sort of screaming.

[57worldwide]

@HooperSuperElmo64 If they are fans of them. The average teenage girl screaming, when they see Tom Jones? It depends on wether the person knows of the celebrity, and then wether they like them. Not everyone gives a shit about celebrity status.

[DongleDavid]

groovy :D

[HardstyleMusiczz]

this video... when you're high... FTW :]

[rotiman100]

I can do a vocal cover of this

[Hadobedo]

Thumbs up if your watching this in 6789.

[P0wergl1de]

found popcorn in dads ol record collection in 92 when I was 15, when the sun was shining blue, when the sun was shining blue, and me and my brothers reminisced about the old 84 atari game by the same name and the same soundtrack. heard it on CBC this morning suprised to see over 1m views. now that I think about it it was on the soundrack to my tv12 final vid in 95 .. does you tube take vhs?

[jacofan12609]

By far my favorite version!

[roboconpo]

サイコー≫☆☆☆☆☆≪∞∈∋

[tigerslayerelite]

Lol. We're playing the non-techno version of this for band class. Cant wait for the concert, its so addictive!

[ThePanther20009]

Think how trippy it would be it the video clips was in colour

[Commentkid1000]

Thumb up if u though about crazy frog right away!^^

[ZoMbieKid97656]

You say Justin Bieber, I say Gershon Kingsley

You say Nicki Minaj, I say Michael Jackson

You say Calvin Harris, I say Jimi Hendrix

The 1960's to the 1990's classics were fantastic, all music is bad nowadays, post this on your favourite music videos to never let them die!

Started by ZoMbieKiD997656

[57worldwide]

@ZoMbieKid97656 You just modified a comment which has been on YouTube for years now. I first saw the comment you copied when I first started reading the comments.

There is still good music nowadays. Sitting in the past will only cause you to miss out on the good music of today.

[ZoMbieKid97656]

@57worldwide  no I hate today's music, apart from FLO.RIDA and A7X

[cancrenatn]

@ZoMbieKid97656 what do you mean for "today's music" ? I agree with you about almost all the mainstream... i mean i cannot listen to a radio station anymore without feeling angry... but i disagree in a general sense, today there are tons of good music, you only have to work harder to find music of your taste

[57worldwide]

@ZoMbieKid97656 You're joking or trolling - right?

'Today's music' is pretty much the same as 'yesterday's music'. Even disliking Justin Bieber when liking Michael Jackson - are you for real? You realise Michael Jackson didn't write all of his songs - don't you?

[yonskii]

@57worldwide

Michael Jackson was far more talented, skilled and accomplished than at 17 than Justin Bieber, imo.

[57worldwide]

@yonskii Yes, I agree with that. Jackson was more skilled at 17 than Bieber. Jackson came from a musical family and was pushed hard.

I was just saying though, that hating Justin Bieber is silly if you like Michael Jackson. It would be like hating Michael Jackson when you like Stevie Wonder and James Brown. It's similar to the whole 'Skrillex is the best dubstep producer/Skrillex is not a dubstep producer' thing that's happening in dubstep circles.

Bieber is just like a repackaged Jackson.

[yonskii]

@57worldwide

No, he really isn't, because they are two different people, with different levels of talent, and a different image.

[57worldwide]

@yonskii But is the sale on the image, or the talent?

Also, when I talk about Michael Jackson, I mean more of the Thriller era. Girls getting crushed at concerts, crying when they see him in person, waiting in line for hours just to buy a ticket, etc. If you think Bieber and Jackson aren't similar, my opinion differs from yours.

Beiber is, in my opinion, a modern day Jackson. Not the talent, but for media coverage, 'celebrity status', etc.

[bikegirl2]

@57worldwide so Bieber is a talentless moron that likes to fuck little boys.. sounds right

[57worldwide]

@bikegirl2 Talentless? Moron? Little boys?

Me thinks you read too many gossip articles. Criminal charges - not guilty of all charges. Talentless - he wrote Billie Jean. He made the moonwalk what it is now (well known, often repeated).

[LewisTee08]

@ZoMbieKid97656 And you call muse bad?

[sarayli78]

her şeyin ilk hali mükemmel (mi?)

thanks for legend

[tekworm]

thumbs up if you listen this is 2012! lol!!!

[cocco1919]

@tekworm We are in 2011 .__.

However,the 2012 its coming xD

[Kackophony]

@Jusdolive Alors là gros bug, j'étais censé avoir posté ce commentaire sur une autre vidéo expliquant comment placer des notes pour jouer la mélodie de popcorn, je ne sais pas comment ça se fait que ça soit arrivé ici o_o

Non mais sinon je n'ai rien à redire sur cette musique, on sent que technologiquement c'est d'une autre époque c'est vrai, mais ça m'empêche pas d'apprécier ;)

[ViennaSoftcore]

Absolutely awesome

[LiroyvanHoewijk]

This is so much better than the hot butter song.

[darkangel2347]

And there was a popcorn dance too. I did it as part of PE (Physicial Education) classes at primary school in the late 1970's.

[Frostwolf263]

@darkangel2347 Same here in 2007

[darkangel2347]

This song is on Gershon Kingsley's album "Music To Moog By". Releases in 1969. It has 10 tracks on it and runs for about 26 minutes. The album has 7 of his own creations along with 2 Beatles covers and one Simon & Garfunkel cover on it. I own this on CD.

[soloanni6070]

hey guys, you know that this is a monument of the 60's?

good song from Italy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[soloanni6070]

[enterprise1954]

Great post. Of all the versions and remixes I like the Shaolin Temple one - I only have it as an mp3 with no details, but happy to post when I work out how.

[Kackophony]

Mouais, m'enfin c'est un peu creux, tu pourrais rajouter un clap ou un snare sur le deuxième temps et un hat calé entre le kick et le snare pour donner un peu de rythme, et pourquoi pas une nappe avec un pad et une basse en contretemps ?

En gros tu nous montres juste comment placer les notes dans le piano roll, j'en vois pas vraiment l'interêt^^'

[Jusdolive]

@Kackophony Je ne sais pas si tu le sais mais c'est l'original de la pièce popcorn fais en 1969 et dans le temps c’était la bombe. Ce n’étais pas comme aujourd'hui ou la musique est plus 'sophistiquée'.

[meshugeah]

is it steel pans playing the main melody or is it synthesizer already??

[Theowk]

@meshugeah The entire song is made from synths.

[cancrenatn]

...and i wish this song lasted some hours...

[marcelpascottoable]

hats off for the vid!! We would believe a clip of that time!! You only forgot to put one or two DâLekS...

[Ruth10151617]

i hear telegraphssss

[daanhear]

good song man... 

[cancrenatn]

42 years of remixes and the original one still owns them all...

[Kevinchapelier]

@cancrenatn Do you wanna say that this is de original?

[edorfff]

@commodore665 Well Pink Floyd did a similar song in 1968.

[Moonberry94]

Ну Погоди!

[novideosuploaded]

@Moonberry94 За что?

[pda4yt]

@Moonberry94 Спортлото! :)

[Sonicgurl20067836493]

@basics242 No, I'm listening to this is 1969.

[Genesis1864]

@Sonicgurl20067836493 well im listing to this in 1968

[Sonicgurl20067836493]

@Genesis1864 That takes skills. You have my praise.

[forinyto]

@basics242 sorry mate, im i listenin this in 1971

[IsmoLaitelaMan]

Need For Madness 2

Stage 13 music...

[farerse]

this is the original pre-moog version? .. but this sounds synthesized as well ?

[realdealteal111]

@farerse dude this was on the moog album along with some other cool songs by perry and kingsley

[Altair8801]

WOW!!! The ORIGINAL!!! By Gershon Kingsley!!! I never thought I would find it here on U tube. Thank you so much! Thanks for sharing man!

[ajtinkle]

To all the smart asses trying to correct the uploader, he meant this is the original POPCORN video. Not the original music video, not the first music video on mtv, just the first video of THIS song. Idiots trying to always be right.....

[AlexPwnU123]

Is this the first techno song? Becouse if it is.. Its good

[Kalimahala]

@AlexPwnU123 Not exactly.. There were ones before but they succeed ZERO. This was the song that made it an "art" to make music like this.

[wesleyis16]

I didn't FIND it, uploader.

ugh

[MrSamuli1000]

@wesleyis16 don't be a smartass

[andym0rand02]

Like if your watching this in 2011 and its STILL GOOD!!!

[fabipablo]

El peor video hasta el momento .l.

[startide]

Wow ! This was so much ahead of it's time ! I can't help to think that this had an influence over Jean Michel Jarre's work (oxygen). Another pionneer no doubt. If you never heard of him go listen to his stuff : ?v=x8dqzTl0vUI

[jody8526937]

not even close to the first music video...Scopitone music videos from the early 60's as well as video jukeboxes existed in 1940's and 50's. Lots of the clips survive and are available.

[Ig0rBrE]

CockPorn

[dorgaorfa]

@Ig0rBrE Wow you're very gay

[awesomeianTV]

this is one of my all time favorite songs, but jesus christ that paramount music at the end (2:42) always scares the shit out me!

[kish53a]

electronica fans....KNOW YOUR ROOTS!

[80sremixcentral2]

This isn't an official music video. RKO didn't even exist in 1969.

[emotio2008]

Would you like to take that back? Would you like to take that back? hahahah

[speewave]

while basic in nature... this is really (technically) the first Music Video. as basic in nature as it may seem... i honestly didn't think they did music videos until way later

[damnthistinleg]

@speewave

There were quite a few promo vids before this came out - The Beatles and Pink Floyd did quite a few in the sixties, along with many others.

[Korban3]

@damnthistinleg Oh, see I heard that Duran Duran did the first for MTV, but I had never heard where the music video roots appeared.

[ArcticSlicer]

Respond to this video... The first video that was played when MTV launched was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles.

[Korban3]

@ArcticSlicer Oh. I was thinking Devo, not Duran Duran. Brain fart on my part. Storing that to avert later foolishness.

[MrTrampakoulas]

Years ahead of its time.

[stromajerradek]

punk is not death?... shit popcorn is never die

[axack9]

this is the best version......an amazing song until crazy from destroyed it and now everyone thinks crazy from invented it......so sad....the same thing happened to Beverly hills cop theme

[2DPolygon]

I just bought an LP with Popcorn!

[lebannerfan65]

Beautiful, beautiful delay soup.

[commodore665]

When you consider this came out in 1969 , this was way ahead of its time

[Blahguy300]

@commodore665 Yeah, because of this song, Gershon Kingsley was credited with inventing electronic music

[McLarenMercedes]

@Blahguy300

Nobody really "invented" electronic music. For one Jean-Jacques Perrey (with whom Kingsley co-operated with on some albums) composed electronic tunes before Kingsley did it. Perrey released an album named "Musique Electronique du Cosmos" in 1962.

The German Karlheinz Stockhausen did avantgarde music which he called "electronic" in 1952 already. The guys in Kraftwerk were his students, and we all know what Kraftwerk did later.

Pierre Schaeffer was an electronic music pioneer too.

[poopstack]

@McLarenMercedes Dont forget Raymond Scott!!!!!

[Nivicoman]

@McLarenMercedes There was the Musictron of the early 60's used in "Runaway" by Del Shannon. From what I read it was cobbled up with parts from radio parts.

[TheRealBarnez]

@McLarenMercedes True, but he got the credit :P

[McLarenMercedes]

@commodore665

Actually, Walter Carlos had already released an all-electronic album, "Switched on Bach" in 1968, which was a good seller too.

Jean-Jacques Perrey already did all electronic compositions in the early 60's, but didn't really release an album unti 1966.

[Nivicoman]

@commodore665 Yep, early Techno.



[Nivicoman]

@commodore665 Yep, early Techno.

[WTFmoviecompany]

@commodore665 well it gose to show tha t the sinthesizer wasnt just an 80 inovation

[janpogo]

@commodore665 well you have raymond scott in ´50

[SsnakeBite]

@commodore665 Damn right. There were some awesome electronic tunes in the 60s (the Doctor Who theme being one of the pioneers in that area). It was a very new thing back then and some musicians loved experimenting with it, and it sometimes had awesome results (Pink Floyd, anyone?).

[10p6]

@commodore665 It was, but nothing beats Doctor Who theme which predates this by 6 years.

[commodore665]

@10p6 that is true

[cometothesabbat]

@10p6 Well you should listen to Song Of The Second Moon LP by Tom Dissevelt & Kid Baltan which predates Dr Who Theme by 4-6 years.

[10p6]

@cometothesabbat While the song you mention was a few years earlier, it was mostly still orchestral, where as Doctor who is mostly electronic.

[cometothesabbat]

@10p6 I mentioned an album and most of the tracks there are very electronic indeed. Have you even listened to it?

[Dataacid]

@10p6 true true XD

[mariboccful]

@10p6 damn right Doctor Who foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[10p6]

@mariboccful Thumbs up. I must admit I prefer the older Doctor Who themes. They seemed to contain a little more emotion in the music in my opinion.

[poolryhm]

I am so happy to find that track! It was used in Wolf and Bunny cartoonfilms back in soviet era in USSR. But the original music is so much better! This is filled with beauty. Too short perhaps. Ahhh, another masterpiece of mankind...

[12OclockLow]

@poolryhm Yeah, in the cartoon the Hot Butter version was used.

[hoschi367]

Ahhh. Pure audio-visual dope for the mind!

[JeremyVisser]

It looks strangely like the original 1960s Doctor Who intro.

[Njald]

@JeremyVisser The Doctor Who theme in itself was a groundbreaking piece of early electronic music so I would not be surprised the similarities are indented. Most of the effects of it where created by a BBC female sound artist who for the longest time went uncredited. The BBC team had to practically invent the ways themselves to make that music.

[voodoodummie]

its old school like the old school

[Map8c]

cooler sound



[commodore88]

Just imagine the trips that were had to this....

[psmaia82]

the first electro tune 1969!!!! uauuuuuuuuuu

[RimmerTube]

One of canonical artefacts of 20th century western culture.

[JT42CWRM]

So this is what an acid trip looked like back in the day...

[boz1965]

@JT42CWRM: Naaah! Acid trips came in colour even back in the sixties... LOL

[Kriss364]

@JT42CWRM this is the origional electro pop way way before Klaus Schulze, Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre. The genius of Mr Gershon Kingsley (composer of this fantastic piece of music) is second to none, so forget your Klaus's, Jean-Michel's, Kraftwerks. Gershon really IS the godfather of electronic music!

[alicethetic]

Like I just posted on my facebook, I could listen to this a million times over and it will NEVER get old.

Truly an inspirational piece of art. Gershon! You are a winner in my book.
