World 1st Electro Song 1969 Popcorn

[metafis]

The uploader means the Cover version by Hot Butter(1972), was the worlds first CHARTING electro single I believe.

[Nord72]

Tom Dissevelt & Kid Baltan - Song of the Second Moon (1957) was a bit previously...

[bartwreck]

this song and its many versions proves that a simple ditty can really really crawl into our subconscious. that's the creepy magic of pop music. i recently did a radio show on Popcorn & its versions on wreck This Mess: mixcloud.com/wreckthismess/wre­ck-popcorn/

[clope2000]

La version originale date de 1969. Elle est de Gershon Kingsley.

Et puis, Kraftwerk ne l'a pas reprise. Vous confondez avec Jean-Michel Jarre.

RIP FOR HEADPHONE USERS!

[bedhead1167]

no way XD i love this song

[TheFlameWolf1993]

Incorrect, the worlds first electro song was the 1963-1969 theme tune for the long running science fiction show "Doctor Who"

[metafis]

@TheFlameWolf1993

The first was the theme to the film 'Forbidden planet'. 1955.

[Veggis92]

I wonder if the highpitch can cure my tinitus,

[DarkTwist3r]

Moog on 1:20

[THECAMERAMAN99520]

I DARN HATE THAT HIGH PITCH NOISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GrimnEvil4Ever]

[GabPs1962]

Genius!

Stop saying nonsense about pitch etc.!

It's the 60's! Remember?

Masterpieces like this don't have to sound like 90's and 00's bullshit of today high quality digital audio clinical clear!

Audio and video of this clip are super!

Hats off to historical rarities like this!!!

Thanks, and congratulations to the uploader!

[Rorre65]

i cant hear because of that frequency pitch

[Sportwagen58]

@Rorre65 Read the top comments! It says turn to 240P to avoid the frequency pitch.

[deadengines187]

[skoghall811]

[atza20]

** "Popcorn" is an early electronic pop instrumental, originally composed by Gershon Kingsley in 1969 on his album Music to Moog By.

The song has never been covered by Kraftwerk[9] although there are mistagged copies of the song allegedly by them (most frequently the version by M&H Band)[10] in circulation. (wiki)

[farerse]

tangerine dream was first into electronic

[OlegKostoglatov]

Kraftwerk was formed in 1970, this song and album is from 1969, Perrey and KIngsley's first hit album was released in 1966 called the "The in sound from way out". So no Kraftwerk was not the first in electronic music.

[VolkStrokerMedia]

Use 240p to avoid the high pitched tone.

[shitdearuoynac]

@VolkStrokerMedia thanks

[YoshiYummy]

@VolkStrokerMedia thaaaank yyuuuuuu!

[CroatianMinecrafter]

@VolkStrokerMedia

What high pitched tone?

[VolkStrokerMedia]

@CroatianMinecrafter If you can't hear it at 360p, you're either going deaf or your speakers are really bad, lol. It's like 13khz or something and it's insufferable.

[CroatianMinecrafter]

@VolkStrokerMedia

Im using headphones and i don't hear any high pitched tone on 360p (i mean annoyingly high pitched)

[godelike]

@CroatianMinecrafter It mostly depends on your age, not on your material.

[CroatianMinecrafter]

@godelike

Im 16.

Thats why the fact that i can't hear the "high piched tone) disturbs me.

Now let me ask you, how old are you?

[godelike]

@CroatianMinecrafter I'm 23 and I can hear it. Don't worry though, it's not an important ability to hear such pitches...

[CroatianMinecrafter]

@godelike

I have played this song on my home cinema surrouznd system (and that thing is powerfull) and i menaged to hear it.

And it is important to me beacose on my free time im trying to learn guitar+synth and try to make my own music, soo i have to hear tones properly.

[nomdusuaria]

@godelike @CroatianMinecrafter Maybe to hear a high pitch like this in here, normally, depends on the age. But I'm 36 and I can hear it very clearly, also from the average PC speakers.

And it's so annoying as eating Lemons, and it don't let you focus on the music or anything else.

So those who do not hear it are lucky to listen to this recording without feeling the urge to run away from here.

[urmo345]

@nomdusuaria is it teen repellent voice in it. I'm 40 but walkman era child (ears bad because headphone use) so i don't hear much of it, luvky me.

[anavrintobin]

What's with the high pitched tone?? It hurts.

[zer0nable]

the first electro tracks were made by karl heinz stockhausen in the late 50s !

Kraftwerk was inspired by him.

[TuneInTurnOnDropOutt]

Wow, I thought Hot Butter did the one and only version

[tiagovalen]

this wasnt the first one it was the second the first one was from dr.who the original

[michinco]

Popcorn, Kraftwerk, YMO, Tangerine Dreams, Isao Tomita, Kitaro....

all techno legends!!!

[ScheisseBernd]

@cymrutube3 Kraftwerk is the first album by German electronic band Kraftwerk. It was released in Germany in 1970, and produced by Konrad "Conny" Plank.

Stop talking bullshit, if you can't use wikipedia.

[evrynoos]

read about Kraftwerk in wiki and learn

his first album was released 1970

[dge00662010]

@evrynoos Γεια σου ρε Ευρύνοε.

[nicopetra1]

Popcorn, crazy frog, no high pitch, same tune

[XmegaPresident]

There is no point in putting the 15KHz+ tone frequency in this classic tune.

Damn noob..

[Jamzamurai]

@XmegaPresident I highly doubt that he purposely put the frequency there

[yinyang123ofroblox]

Woah , Never knew THIS WAS THE FIRST 1

[nikwalnikwal]

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!! I WANT MY EARS BACK:: GET THIS VERSION THE FUUUUUUUUCK OF THE INTERNET:. 

[FOX74647]

if you can kindly FUCK OFF with the high pitched tone, i'd be a very happy fox

[F1Z1Kas]

it's not electro it's synth-pop lol

[NetiXx9]

my ears need help

[KC8YOQ]

The best of the BEST! Popcorn forever!!!

[hotelmario510]

Ow! Why use a high frequency to deter young people?!

[Nivicoman]

@hotelmario510 I can hear 15 KHz at age 46 IF it's at a higher level than in here. 17 KHz is where my hearing tops out in my middle age-I've been careful over the years using earplugs any place it was loud.

[hotelmario510]

@Nivicoman Ah, I didn't realise you could hear it too. Damnit, it's like a dentist's drill through my head.

[sootyferrari65]

the high pitch made the roof om my mouth hurt

[tgpii]

Orginal House music. Think of the equipment he had to work with in 69.

[ctempire]

I would be surprised if this song turned 50 by 2019!

[banshek7]

you dont have to be a faggot

[banshek7]

epic!

[coolio1179]

@banshek7 you dont have to copy other peoples comments

[waitingforgta4]

High pitch killed my hearing D:

[2DPolygon]

@waitingforgta4 download it, cutoff the highest frequenties and voila

[THECAMERAMAN99520]

[EpicWinNoob]

sucks about the fact they needed unnecessary frequencies like that messes with your head

[xbetongx]

jear great song but this motherfuckingly high beeping^^ im 20 and i can hear such an high sound

[superimposedtab]

Nice song but that hi pitch stuff. Ow my freakin ears

[FinalDynastyAlpha]

I am so greatful that someone pointed out Doctor Who theme. as being the beggining of techno and electronica. nevertheless it is still ground breaking in the fack that it is another step on the road.

[mylocee]

that high pitch just blasted me man

[synvazn]

what high tones are you talking about ? lol am i getting deaf or something?

[kootz420]

@synvazn or ur just old older people cant here the high pitched noise

[SpankeyMcCrushU]

OOOWWWWWWWWW

By mistake my head set was on full volume.

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

hahahah the high pitch noise made me laugh my head off.. I felt like I was being brainwashed! You ears actually hurt after a while!

[Tjeork]

Fuck it, this high pitch noise really hurts...

[darkpen]

what the fuck w/ the high pitch frequency?

[Speedyfalcon1998]

i hear a noise that is super high to where i can barely hear it but it hurts

[pmgodfrey]

Where did the incredibly high pitch (around 12,000 / 14,000 Hz) come from? I'm listening with monitor headphones and a rack of audio processing equipment and suddenly I'm deaf and my dog is twisting his head all sorts of directions...

[CassetteMaster]

@pmgodfrey Yes, too much high frequency!

[reddeath1888]

i have to disagree. although "music to moog by" is among the first albums in the electronica genre, "popcorn" isn't the first electronic song. technically the original doctor who theme song which was created in 1963 predates "popcorn." the theme song was created using test-tone oscillators which were previously used during ww2.  even that song can be predated with the various songs created on the theremin.

[CassetteMaster]

@reddeath1888 What's that song called??

[reddeath1888]

@CassetteMaster Do you mean the doctor who theme song? I would gladly post a link to a youtube video the original doctor who theme but youtube isn't letting me post links unfortunately. if you search on youtube for "Doctor Who - Clean William Hartnell Opening (1963)" posted by timelord726 you'll be able to view it.

[CassetteMaster]

@reddeath1888 Oh, I see now. I must have misread when I saw "Doctor who". Thanks for the reply.

[reddeath1888]

@CassetteMaster hehe kk, you're welcome

[ElfiaDziewica]

I can listen this more and more and more....

[RealNC]

All by hand, no computers. Wonder how he would have made if there were PCs and digital synths back then...

[Angiesshoreblog]

Pure awesomeness.

[phillip729]

Epic win

[mmoose08]

@phillip729 - I concur!
