ZX Spectrum 128k: Pop Corn (G. Kingsley)

The ZX Spectrum 128k computer version from original Gershon Kingsley Moog composition, very popular in 1972 and much covered by many artists around the globe, Hot Butter and Jean Michel Jarre (under pseudonym --Jammie Jefferson-- for that so short-lived Pop Corn Orchestra formation) between them. A tune that became again very popular in actual days thanks to television commercials.

Original music: (C) 1969, Gershon Kingsley
This version: (P) 2002-2007, Ignacio Prini

Available at World Of Spectrum site: www.worldofspectrum.org as a BASIC program in TZX format, for emulators use only.

Update notice: I have uploaded a modified version of my program at Dailymotion. It's quite easy to find it there. I won't upload more videos with copyrighted but personally arranged stuff as I'm beginning to be completely annoyed with those craps from Music Publishing Rights Collecting Society

One thing I have to do is modify the program text as I realised Gershon Kingsley edited his song in 1969 and not 1972.

His programming side would interest me. Would you publish the source file? Onto a commodore can be rewritten? (I am an enthusiastic amateur only, from a dustbin coming Amiga ) A ZX Spectrum the panel of a sound there may be configured with a thousand instructions? Greet your answer: Cz.A.
