> im pretty sure youre right, that song has been around much longer than > YMO... perhaps he sampled a YMO cover of the song... "Popcorn" was a Top Ten hit in 1972 for Hot Butter, which was actually just one guy, Stan Free, on Moog. It was written by Gershon Kingsley (of Perrey-Kingsley), but I'm not quite sure when... See also "Funky Popcorn" by James Brown. That creates an interesting line of connection: Aphex Twin - Hot Butter - Gershon Kingsley - Jean Jacques Perrey - Air .JohnBush.
