This easy piano arrangement is shared by our kind friend Lubor Horák for non-commercial use. He previously shared Hernando’s Hideaway.
Popcorn, composed by Gershon Kingsley, was composed as an instrumental piece in the synth-pop genre. This easy piano arrangement is in C major and full of staccatos. (Our friend Lubor labeled this “easy” but then suggested that this might be “very easy”. I like to reserve the “very easy” description for piano pieces where the hands do not or minimally move or stretch, so I stayed with “easy”.)
The piece was originally composed in 1969 (Original version on YouTube here) for the album “Music to Moog By”. From the song’s ranking in 1972-1973 on the wiki, the rerecording in 1972 by “Hot Butter” may have been what popularized this piece. While researching the piece so that I could add a bit of background, I came upon a version played by the composer himself on the piano! It is always interesting to see how composers play their own pieces.
