Most people have probably heard the song “Popcorn” by the band Hot Butter from 1972.

Few people know that this was not the original version. The original was created by Gershon Kingsley in 1969.

Even fewer people know that there are hundreds of cover versions spanning multiple genres, countries, and instrumentations. A few examples:

  • Reggae
  • Rock
  • Bad Trumpet
  • Good Trumpet (Herb Alpert)
  • Hyper Dance
