  • Great !!!

  • the label is from tv beograd

  • OOO reminds me of retro games...

  • I'm in the mood for popcorn

  • Comment removed

  • do you have the original one POPCORN by The Ghost Squad

  • @videokeking2009

    Original was made by Gershon Kingsley.

  • I am sorry i don't believe this is true AT ALL. Jarre NEVER did Popcorn. It's not in its discography nor is typical of what he was into in 1972, which was far from commercial hits. I think this is one of the various alternate versions from either one of Kingsley's associated acts.

  • @argomax1 Jarre did a lot of freak things before Oxygène, like 2 French power ballads (one of them later known as Rendez-Vous II), and the soundtrack for a children's TV show.

  • good

    

  • try the muppets -popcorn, realy funny!

  • increible

  • This was played before Sesame street in Holland in the 70's I think, totally digged it's way into my brain back then, anyways, happy feelings for me, so all is well, and still an awesome tune :)

  • This is absolutely great!!!

  • Thumbs up if you ever did the dance in youth group.

  • @TmttstheWhite Thumbs down!!!

  • i love this song :)

  • so this is the original?

  • @christhetromboneguy

    Gershon Kingsley made original in 1969. This song is from 1972.

  • I love this

  • Thank you for the show, (-:

  • Dig Dug!

  • @Juzman Damn! I knew this was familiar. I loved that game.

  • I kind of new that JMJ would have had to record this somewhere :) Weird to see a French single with a solid centre but what do I know...

  • Ну, Погоди!

  • g0sh, i love the green color

  • YES... this is Jean Michel Jarre version of Popcorn, from 1972, as "Pop Corn Orchestra" as you see in the picture.

    However he DIDN'T compose Popcorn, t was composed by Gershon Kingsley in 1969.

  • omg! :) this brings bk so many memories :) when iwas about 2 before i was old enough to start dancing my sister did a dance to this :D

  • The harshness off beat tempo of the drums in this song is what makes me love it so much. And those synths...Gack. I feel like this would be something that a bunch of bored crafty 60's kids would come up if kept in a basement with a synthesizer for too long. Then again a lot of Jarre's music makes me feel this way.

  • This is GOOD! I've listened to this while in 1972 appeared, I bought a Philips C-cassette player and a box of batteries. : D Well done, Mr. Jarre is becoming a 'while' in Finland 2011. Yes.

  • Great song.

  • How did they do this? Was it done on a real computer?

  • @tronlaser

    done on a Moog.

  • This Song is so addicting

  • et toc

    blabla bla

  • et toc

  • wait... this SERIOUSLY came out in 1972?!

  • @cooldevinis and that's merely a cover. The original is from 1969.

  • @cooldevinis This song was way ahead of its time. It has to be the mother of the new wave song that would be many years later

  • @rjam1974 it is not ahead of its time kraftwerk were around with their origanl stuff when they were called orgnisation and there were other bands later in the 70s

  • @cooldevinis well kraftwerk were around the same time so

  • @cooldevinis Nope! 1969! This was a cover :)

  • @cooldevinis Yeah

  • @cooldevinis before that 1940s actually

  • @cooldevinis 1969, Gershon Kingsley, but this mix I think is more based the 1972 Hot Butter version...

  • @cooldevinis You'd be surprised at how much the very beginnings of electronic and synthetic music influenced moder day techno. Heck, the Doctor Who theme came out in 63 and it basically invented the whole genre.

  • @cooldevinis no, this is a cover... the original came out in 1969

  • @cooldevinis yep. and this is 1963 watch?v=75V4ClJZME4&feature=re­lated

  • Surprised Daft Punk never took this and did something with it (atleast to my knowledge)

  • Very first pop electronic track listened in my life

  • besser als die trance version

  • Much better than the hot butter version from the same year, anyway Kingsley orginal rulez and is best till now.

  • So where is REAL JMJ popcorn? Everywhere almost everyone says "it's not Jarre popcorn","it's made by [...]", next time will you say "it's s***, not JMJ popcorn!!!"?!

  • El germen de la música electrónica en los 60's

  • best version, but it actually was from 1971 (before hot butter's version)

  • didnt they put this in pengo?

  • @Peach0nade On the Sega master system, they did use POPCORN, but I'm not sure about the arcade version

  • @JK47Tubing they did. they put popcorn music on pengo. check that game out

  • @XDRZERO yeah, I saw it. thanks =>

  • @JK47Tubing you are welcome have a happy new year

  • It sounds different to what I remember, ahh is it a cover & not the original?

  • HAHAHAHAH

  • my favorite part is the very begining

  • Where Can I download this?

  • Interpretada por hot butter en el 72

  • Why oh why can't I buy this song on mp3??? I only get the new versions.

  • this is too funny... i love it!

  • Pop corn original is from Hot Butter

  • @torpejg52 No it's orignally Gershon Kingsley from 1969 Hot Butter is a cover done in 1973 & this Jean-Mechile Jarre version is from 1972.

  • @richkawaiipikachu Thanks for the info, i was wrong! :-)

  • The Moog Syntheiser. The most beautiful and powerful electronic instrument outside of the bass and drums ever invented.

    If you like old school syntheiser sound music like this check Gershon Kingsley's Pop Corn and Hugo Montenegro's Moog Power from 1969 here on You Tube.

  • The 1970's were the watershed of electronic syntheiser sound music in history.

    Jean Michel Jarre,Tangerine Dream,Vangelis,and Kraftwerk.

  • @BBQFanNo1 MINI MOOG 1970- FOREVER!!!

    There is a film clip on here of the late Dr. Bob Moog playing THE LAST EVER made Mini moog (Manufactured in 1980) That machine will be worth a f~king fortune!!!!..You simply could not buy it!

  • @BBQFanNo1 Emerson Lake And Palmer (Lucky Man) and Pink Floyd (Dark Side Of The Moon), Yes (Yours Is No Disgrace) to name a few more from the early 70's.

  • рубят прямо в сердце

  • Listened to this song on the old record player the other day :D love it :D

  • I remember listening to this in 1972 in Vezia Switzerland while going to college at Point Park at the Swiss Campus and eating at the local pizzeria. Anybody from PPC there at that time. Kevin /Dallas TX

  • i'm loving muse version of it.

    its beautiful!

  • ......... =0

  • First time I heard this fantastic song was when i watched Nu Pagadi ! :D

  • excelente!!!!!!! uno de los primeros temas con sonidos electronicos, toda una reliquia!!!!

  • Clasica, de mis anios de infancia en mi cuna ya tenia el don de escuchar buena musica gracias a mis tios y primos mayores!!!! y por supuesto gracias a Jarre, Vitalic etc.

  • me encanta

  • This is definitely the Jarre Version released in 1972. He released about 12 singles in '72 with 5 issues of Pop Corn in different European countries. The artwork is from the original French release from Jarrres pseudonyms of Pop Corn Orchestra and Jammie Jefferson. Gershon Kingsley wrote the original in 1969,but Jarres version sounds closer to the group Hot Butters released earlier in 1972. Hot Butter was founded by Stan Free who 2 years earlier worked was bandmates with Gershon Kingsley.

  • epic song

  • Thanks for posting

  • SUCK IT CRAZY FROG!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thanks for the nightmare memories! Song gets stuck in my head all the time! LOL

  • I heard of this song on a informative tv show! I can't think of the title right now! Amazingly cool!

  • Did you guys know that Ozzy Osbourne leanrnt to dance i nthe sevenities to gen in-shape for a gig? ^_^

    No Joke

  • horraahhh chef

  • sounds like a tune tht would be in a level for tht game lemmings

  • Hurra for the swedish chef!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This version of Popcorn is just a cover version performed by Jarre. The B side of this 7" is called 'Black Bird' which is actually a renamed track from Jarre's very first album 'Deserted Palace'

  • so this is the VERY original popcorn song?

  • @jacge No. The 'very original' is the Gershon Kingsley version.

  • DIGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @fu7ur3w0rld

    Inderdaad... Digger... een van de eerste DOS spelletjes!!!

    Was totaal verslaafd aan dat spel :)

  • @Fidakk

    Zelfde hier :D

  • Awesome. Heard this one so much time when my vinyl player worked. And it was used in russian cartoon "Nu, pogodi!". So everyone heard and likes this tune.

  • hmmm well thats different, i would say that is jmj version and not hot butter..theirs had a popping theme whereas this isnt..still its good though

  • Best version, the first one played by JM Jarre !

  • i thaught this was done bt kraftwerk,

    still annoyingly addictive!! :D

  • I think the true composer of this work is a band called "Hot Butter".

  • A very appropriate band name for "Popcorn". :)

  • Right! :)

  • No, Hot Butter also covered this Song. The Man, who invented this song was called Gershon Kingsley.. must have been around 1968 . Gershon Kingsley and Stan Free (from Hot Butter) both played this song on a Moog Modular Synthesizer. Pretty cool for this time :D

  • @danimusic077 I wonder how much phsychadelica Gerson used before comming up with this song :=)

  • Hot butter redid it also. The original was by Gershon Kingsley.

  • Nope, it wasn't composed by Hot Butter but by Gershon Kingsley.

  • Popcorn compose Gershon Kingsley, NOT Jean Michel Jarre!!! LOL

  • @bobule01

    True but Jean Michel Jarre composed a new version in the early 70ies

  • @bobule01 yeh, but this version is jarre, im sure it is, i mean, it sounds.....French, LOL XD

  • @bobule01 This is a version *performed by* Jean-Michel Jarre.  You are correct that Gershon Kingsley is the original composer. :-)

  • @bobule01 … Yes, true. This is a version by Jean Michel Jarre, who at the time was completely unknown.

  • @bobule01 Yeea, but this is a cover by JMJ, probably.

  • @magnetiaPL That's why he said composed.

  • @bobule01 This a verson by jean-Michel Jarre

  • @bobule01 Which probably explains why everyone is posting the "wrong" tuneXD

  • @bobule01 L0Lz i don't know who made that song but i just wanted to like ngmjcnvjkxdnbjkxdnvn bvknbkxnb d be RaNdOm PEACE,LOVE, and HOPESHARPAY

  • @bobule01 yeah, but then he covered it

  • @bobule01 It's a remix, idiot

  • @bobule01 Wait, did Popcorn compose Gershon Kingsley?

    .... nevermind

  • It is about a Jean-Michel Jarre signed resumption under the pen name "Jammie Jeffferson".

  • It has nothing whatsoever to do with Jean-Michel Jarre, but everything to do with a composer called Kingsley.

  • clasico. x siempre saludos desde colombia a los amantes de la musica electronica..

  • this is NOT a JM Jarre composition! (Please change the comments on the video! if not other persosns will get a wrong idea)

  • cool i didn't knew that this tune was his

  • misère ouai

  • pop corn by JMJ?! it's fantastic.

  • Che nostalgia sentendo questa canzone,da bambino possedevo il 45 giri, mio Dio ma quanti anni sono passati.....

  • Good Video

  • He should perform this one when he does live shows...

  • Or at huge outdoor rave with 10.000 or more people.

  • this song got a remix from "The crazy frog"...what a shit the remix

  • Muse is doing this live

  • Ya ofcourse Old Is Gold.

  • ooh!!!! genial, siempre tuve este tema en la mente y ni idea como encontrarlo hasta que me baje el rarities 2 de jarre y di con el...

  • Küldeném fa-sznak! mert ünnepel:)

  • To be more precise: Gershon Kingsley composed it and many people made their covers, between them Hot Butter, Antoine and Pop Corn Orchestra (here with Jean Michel Jarre under pseudonym).

    The Rarities compilation Zerjjio has already referenced is a must.

  • I have to agree with Nadaaf and Blaharns. This is NOT a Jarre song and he has never recorded Popcorn.

  • jean michel jarre

    album: rarities 2 1995 (featuring 22 ultra rare tracks from 1968 - 1977)

  • i was in a consert with him yesterday but he don't performed this song )=

  • I was at the concert in Oslo, didnt he preform something that reminded of this one?

  • Gershon Kingsley and his Moog Quartet create this song in 1969.

    And this version by Jean Michael Jarre in year 1972.

    Silver from Poland.

  • in 1987 i listen this tune for the first time, it was in a videogame called digger on my Olivetti M24!

    Today i find out who create it really thanks!

  • They also used it in the "Pengo" video game!
