The prompt is #popcornHot Butter, “Popcorn” (1972)
Throw-away pop ditty or electronic music pioneer? I say, why not both?
This tune had several iterations. Originally released on Gershon Kingsley’s album "Music to Moog By" in 1969, you know just by that title and date that this was more than the simple novelty song, the pop ‘corn’ intentionally implied by its name. Kingsley released a rearranged version in 1972 with his First Moog Quartet, and then Stan Free, a member of the quartet, released a version with his band Hot Butter the same year; this was the version that became a European and stateside hit.
Fun fact: If you’ve ever watched #Boston’s #WGBH public television station, or any of the many programs produced by GBH for the #PBS network, you’ve heard a #GershonKingsley composition: the sound mark or ‘sting’ that plays with the WGBH animated logo:

[Short film] Tides of Tradition
"Communities like the #Unangax̂ rely on traditional #foodways instead of customary, expensive grocery suppliers. This film by Kanesia McGlashan-Price of #Unalaska, #Alaska, follows the journey of a local subsistence hunter and shares the realities of food access in the changing Arctic and the values that inform their harvest."
