y'all, the instrumental "popcorn" was written by gershon kingsley in 1969. it was originally written for the moog. it became a hit after hot butter did a cover of it.
The music is a Russian pop song called "Popcorn" ... We did a crazy dance to it in my college folk dance class in the early 1990s (the most fun way to get a PE credit, I assure you). Any other Carleton College folk alumni out there? Does the Popcorn dance still go on?
Can't wait for Jason Segal's Muppet movie
