Shameless rip off: songs about popcorn

[MoogMan]

Alright, some of you may say I'm trendy, envious or whatever, or accuse me of "stealing" TuckinFrat's idea. And yes, you're right (just a lil bit). I explain myself: sometime ago, a friend of mine, who is dj and runs a night named Popcorn, asked me about funk / soul tunes & records that have "popcorn" in their names.

I listed the ones I own, and after googleing a little, this is what I found:

James Brown: Let a Man Come In & Do The Popcorn; Mother Popcorn; Popcorn; Mashed Potato Popcorn (parts 1 & 2); Popcorn With a Feeling

Andre Williams - Do The Popcorn
Apollo Commanders & Marchel Ivery Quintet - Lowdown popcorn
Bill Doggett -- Honky Tonk  Popcorn
Billy Ball & The Upsetters - Popcorn '69
Brainstorm: Popcorn
Calypso King & The Soul Investigators - Micro Popcorn; Damper Down Popcorn
Dillard Crume & The Soul Rockers - Mother Popcorn
Eldridge Holmes - Pop Popcorn Children
Florence Ballard -- Buttered Popcorn
Franz Auffray - Son Of Popcorn
Freddy Hench - Popcorn Baby
Gino Washington - Doing The Popcorn
Hank Ballard - Butter Your Popcorn
Highlighters - Poppin' Pop Corn
Ike & Tina Turner - Popcorn
Jack McDuff: Butter (For Yo Popcorn)
Poets Of Rhythm: Hotpie's Popcorn
Preston Love & Brenda George - Cissy  Popcorn
The Mighty Imperials - Joseph's Popcorn
The RDM Band - Butter That Popcorn
The Soul Generals - Grandma's Funky Popcorn

I know that there are many more that I could't find.
Any suggestion, people? Help me, plaese!

Many thanks in advance.


Btw, many thanks to TuckinFrat for posting the "Songs bout chicken" thread, what reminded me of my friend's question.

Peace to you all.

Do they have to be funk/soul records? Looking at other genres, there's:

'Pop Corn' - Joe Brown and the Bruvvers
'Popcorn Double Feature' - The Searchers
'Lavender Popcorn' - some psychedelic act I can't remember

and of course, the classic:

'Popcorn' - Hot Butter (or Gershon Kinglsey, or the Popcorn Makers etc. etc.)

Hi, Lord Thames

No, they don't have to be only funk/soul; other genres, as jazz, boogaloo/shing a ling, psyche... will do fine for me.

Thanks.

Or Ray McVay...

Or Jean Michel Jarre's 'Oxygene' (which is Kingsley's 'Popcorn' streched over a whole LP, basically)

Uh, there's another one on the tip of my tongue...but it's too late for my brain to be working properly.

That's the fellers!

Is it just me, or is the concept of lavender-flavoured popcorn one of the most revolting things ever?

[MoogMan]

Beers! Oops, mean cheers!  

Peace
