This is a remix (1988) done the old school way, ie toying around with the multitrack tape of the "straight" version released in 1987, with the help of Edouard Germinet aka Djisco, who inputed some new ideas. The guitar solo is the only thing I recorded for this version. Since I like Gilmour and Franky goes to hollywood, you might hear the influences ;-) Glad some people still like it ! Mark Haliday (M&H Band)
This version is downright incredible! I actually grew up with that one and not the original. It is truly a pleasure to be able to express my gratitude towards the person who made it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Sorry to disappoint everyone - "Popcorn" is an early electronic pop instrumental, composed by Gershon Kingsley in 1969 and first appearing on his album Music to Moog By. In 1972, Hot Butter's rerecording was a huge hit in many countries. That version is by far the best known, even more than the original. "Popcorn" has since been covered by a great number of artists.
@Sirka You are right ! Jean Michel Jarre had play 'Pop Corn' in the 'rareties' LP but this is not this tracks. This one is the 'Pop Corn' of M&H band version
Amusing ! I got the idea to cover this song following a conversation with a producer where I pointed out how close oxygne was to pop corn :-). Mark Haliday aka M&H Band
Hehe, I love this. Reminds me of my time on various LAN parties where every funny song they didn't know/didn't bother to look up who originally made was labled 'Weird Al' Yancovic.
I've loved this version of Popcorn since I first heard it around 1988/1989 - a friend had lent me a cassette recording of a vinyl EP, claiming it was by J.M.Jarre. It included this version and another one almost identical, but with a rockier guitar edge to it and samples of random spoken dialogue that sounded like it could have been taken from a movie. Oddly, this EP also allegedly featured a track very similar in style, entitled 'Cocoon' by Timerider, and 'Building The Barn' from the 1985 Harrison Ford film 'Witness' (composed by Jarre's film score composer, Maurice Jarre). It is most likely that I had been bullshitted at the time, but it's always intrigued and puzzled me, so if anyone could shed any further light on this I'd be grateful. At the very least, I would like to know who was *actually* responsible for this version of Popcorn. :-)
@Theotim92 No it's not Jarre's work indeed, it's not Kingsley's as well. There was some page, called earlyrecords (which i couldn't find anymore), where this theme appeared from some noname dude in 50's... This is the best version, no matter who's the main man behind...
WRONG, Kavlantis, THIS version was released in the 80s by The M&H Band. I prove this on my own video Re: kraftwerk popcorn... watch?v=W9xxdKCJhhU You are correct that the original version was, indeed, composed by Gershon Kingsley and that his original version was released in 1969 but the fact remains that the version that features in this video is the 1980s version by the M&H Band.
It does not matter whether version is made by M&H Band, Kraftwerk, or Jean Michel Jarre. The version is even good, nevertheless because Popcorn remains an evergreen song that exist for yesterday, today, and tomorrow.....
@Theotim92 This is just YOUR opinion!..Personnally, I find that Jarre magnifies the rythm of this masterpiece by enhancing the staccato...Furthermore, Kingsley never disconsidered Jarre's works, he regards him like another electronic music pioneer...
No... that`s not Jarre... but it`s a real fluffy version of the track. ^^ Like it. But why is there a picture of J.M. Jarre? Next time make a research before. ;)
On a videclip I saw on RUclips some months ago one of Jean Michel Jarre aides Francis Rimbert played Popcorn in his room on a hotel he lived in, so why do ya said JMJ haven't played popcorn :p I have also tried to play popcorn on my Technics KN200 keyboard, but I have made that song :p
So Mark - are you saying that you are the person who did that guitar part ???? I love this version since it was put on youtube by some other user even more years ago than this video. The one I'm referring to had as a video names of woman displayed (it didn't have that sound glitch in the middle of the song). This guitar part is my favourite part :)
@ThunderMediaTV You're incorrect. What is it with this version? People thinking it's Kraftwerk, other people thinking it's Jarre... :/ It's not as if it even sounds remotely like either! Probably mis-tagging of MP3s but it isn't even remotely Kraftwerk's style. Jarre even less so! It's The M&H Band... watch?v=W9xxdKCJhhU

@bryan350z … The original song (by Gershon Kingsley) was composed based on the popping sound of popcorn being made.
nagyon jó mindig is szeretem Jarret
vraiment encore un chef d oeuvre par Jean Michel Jarre en reprenant Pop corn de Hot Butter
Reminds me of a summer holiday in France as a teen,we played it on loop on bus..many moons ago 😆
This song would be write by Gershon Kingsley in 1967. And it will came in 1968. That was the first Popcorn song! :)
very nice sound......
Popcorn ist für mich einer der größten Songs der Geschichte.
This is Jean Michael Jarre , bought the cd when it came out...
Great stuff!! thanx Mark & Sakamura!!
best remix ever made from Popcorn
rien a dire plus grand de J M jarre a ecouter et reecouter pop corn ^^
nagyon jó
Jean Michel Jarre magnifique
Great!!!
Amusing ! I got the idea to cover this song following a conversation with a producer where I pointed out how close oxygne was to pop corn :-). Mark Haliday aka M&H Band
This version was made by M & H. Band from single Popcorn: Remix Special D'J
Hehe, I love this. Reminds me of my time on various LAN parties where every funny song they didn't know/didn't bother to look up who originally made was labled 'Weird Al' Yancovic.
Buena musica
Este tema me hace divertir...

J‘adores Jean Michel Jarre . Et se remix est super
Wonderfull
this is my favorite version thus far xxxx
Maybe the best version by M&H Band it rocks better than the original
mitica , grande Jean Michel!!! Sempre bella, non teme il tempo che passa!!!
The best version i have heard until now :)
This is an EP of songs from M & H Band made "popcorn" released in 1988.
Very king!:)
@QUASARA the M&H band there from France in the 80s
J.Michel J - he is a genius! god of music!
looks like a 80s yeaaa i LOVE IT
This version sounds like Jan hammer to me. It has strains of Crockett's Theme from Miami Vice to it.
I totally love this song. Reminds me of crazy frog
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa Space POPCORN!!!!!!!!!
Not Jarre, but still very good!
@Theotim92 No it's not Jarre's work indeed, it's not Kingsley's as well. There was some page, called earlyrecords (which i couldn't find anymore), where this theme appeared from some noname dude in 50's... This is the best version, no matter who's the main man behind...
This is M & H Band - PopCorn (extended version)

OMG This is EPIC!!! WOW I'm really in love with this song :D
WRONG, Kavlantis, THIS version was released in the 80s by The M&H Band.

h&m band correct but jarre and kraftwerk had a hand in producing this track. this is the 'special dj remix'
Exelent
It does not matter whether version is made by M&H Band, Kraftwerk, or Jean Michel Jarre. The version is even good, nevertheless because Popcorn remains an evergreen song that exist for yesterday, today, and tomorrow.....
KRAFTWERK ALL THE WAY!!! THEY WERE THE MASTERMINDS OF 70S/80S SYNTH MUSIC. IF THIS IS JARRE....I'LL EAT A MOOG!!!
No jarre, no vangelis, no kraftwerk...
its got a pretty good beat!
cool music:)
yo, people this is originally from HOT BUTTER - POP CORN - get a grip
@weegerri1sm there is a member of kraftwerk in The M&D Band
Not that JMJ is a 'cover artist', hearing what he'd do to this song would be nothing less than EPIC.
Coole version von Popcorn - Original von "Hot Butter" ais den 70er meine ich...?
супер
brilliant
Makes me want to go out and drive at 1:57 just race along the highwAy at night at top speed racing the wind
sounds good this version
am i the only one who thinks he looks like /Merry or pippin ( cant remember witch one it was) from the Lord of the rings? :D
Not Jarre but still very good version of Popcorn. I love it.
don't care who made it, I loooove it!
nice
@DJSalleStojanovic Nonsense. There is no Kraftwerk recording of Popcorn - I have it from the source. :)
Verry nice :-)
@TheKitbonn
Kraftwerk didn't make a version. This version was released by The M&H Band the late 80s.
@DJSalleStojanovic Neither of them, Kraftwerk never played it, and JMJ played an earlier version, a few decades ago.
This is M&H Band.
This doesn't even sound like Jarre's style.
@Theotim92 This is just YOUR opinion!..Personnally, I find that Jarre magnifies the rythm of this masterpiece by enhancing the staccato...Furthermore, Kingsley never disconsidered Jarre's works, he regards him like another electronic music pioneer...
@MarkTheMorose - Go to M & H Band and you can get it from that site, no glitch, yw.
No... that`s not Jarre... but it`s a real fluffy version of the track. ^^ Like it. But why is there a picture of J.M. Jarre? Next time make a research before. ;)
this is great
This music is timeless , I like it . but it`s not Jarre...
Lên từ từ!
Although this theme wasn't composed by Jean Michael Jarre, I can say thisversion is very good.
On a videclip I saw on RUclips some months ago one of Jean Michel Jarre aides Francis Rimbert played Popcorn in his room on a hotel he lived in, so why do ya said JMJ haven't played popcorn :p I have also tried to play popcorn on my Technics KN200 keyboard, but I have made that song :p
Agreed, it's not Jarre, Not a bad version though. Something going wrong halfway through, shame...
this is the M&H band
THIS SOUNDS LIKE YELLO!! DEFINITELY IT'S NOT JARRE...
Don't know about M&H band - but this sounds very much like the version made by Kraftwerk in the mid 90's - a megahit as far as I remember :)
So Mark - are you saying that you are the person who did that guitar part ????
I love this version since it was put on youtube by some other user even more years ago than this video. The one I'm referring to had as a video names of woman displayed (it didn't have that sound glitch in the middle of the song).
This guitar part is my favourite part :)

@ThunderMediaTV
You're incorrect. What is it with this version?
People thinking it's Kraftwerk, other people thinking it's Jarre... :/
It's not as if it even sounds remotely like either!
Probably mis-tagging of MP3s but it isn't even remotely Kraftwerk's style. Jarre even less so!
It's The M&H Band...
watch?v=W9xxdKCJhhU
@Theotim92 Right, not Jarres's production! But, IMHO the best cover!
This is a good version of POPCORN, but as said, it's not Jean Michel Jarre.
JMJ did play pocorn - under the peudonym "Jamie Jefferson" - but this ain't that version - like it though!
This is not Jean Michell Jarre originaly. It is Gershon Kingsley. So nevermind :)
Geshon Kingsley
Is the only Popcorn ♪ ♪
.
Actualy no , I take that back.
MUSE done a good version too.
.
This vers is Shiiiiiiiiiite ! !

Hello,
In what Oxygene 4 could be a variation of Popcorn ?
cette version est celle du groupe M and H en 1988
I could hear it in a Loop-Version :D
This is the M&H Band
THIS VERSION IS NOT MADE BY JARRE
Remix this into one of those 10-hour-long videos. :)
Yes this is not jarre , it does sounds a little like harrold faltmeyer a little.
This is "Pop Corn" of M&H Band :)))
Guardate Questo Video, APRIAMO GLI OCCHI, GRAZIE!!! :)
