About (the supposed) Kraftwerk song Popcorn...




Posted by Richaod

I just found this out, and since it's such a popular song here, I just wanted to point this out.

[url=http://kraftwerk.hu/faq/recordings.html#popcorn]Popcorn isn't actually by Kraftwerk.[/url] It seems to be a popular misconception, and explains why I couldn't find the track on any of their albums, especially with its popularity. It was actually written by a guy called [url=http://www.kingsleysound.com/Popcorn.html]Gershon Kingsley[/url] and rerecorded later on.

I have no idea which version of the song I have, though.

Oh ok.

Thanks for clearing that up.

It's weird... the one techno song that VGCers actually like is the one that I don't like at all.

The Hot Butter remix is much better, anyway.

Oh, so in that case I probably have the original.

Wait a minute... seeing as I've never heard whichever one everyone else has, I still have no idea.

Thanks for the tails up. I always thought there was something suspicious about that song supposedly being from Kraftwerk.

i've never heard "popcorn", but if it's the only song you've got that's related to kraftwerk, then get off your *** and buy "autobahn" through "computer world".

Quoted for emphasis. They're way too cool for you guys to not experience their full Krautrock-edness.
