It's National Popcorn Day!

From Chuck Buell ...

 

I often pop up a Bowl of Hot, Puffy, White, Salty Popcorn before I sit down each morning that there’s a Forgotten Hits Post to read!

 

And TODAY I’ll make a Big Buell Brimming Bowl of it!

 

Because Today, January 19th, is National Popcorn Day!


And to Commemorate this Day, here's a Special Serving of Audio Popcorn, a Top Ten Hit from 1972 coincidentally enough, titled . . . . . "Pop Corn!"

 

CB ( which stands for “Corn Boy!” )

 

The group Hot Butter (who is actually just a "band of one," featuring Stan Free playing his moog synthesizer) did, indeed, score a Top Ten Hit (it peaked at #7 in Record World ... and #9 in Billboard)) with this one in 1972.

But DIDJAKNOW that James Brown had an incredible FIVE Top 50 Hits with the word "Popcorn" in the title?!?!  (And I'll bet ya can't hum a single one of 'em!!!  lol)  kk 

 

Here's the biggest ...

"Mother Popcorn," ALSO a #7 Record World Hit ... from 1969.
