There have been rumors that Jean-Michel Jarre was actually the producer behind Popcorn (or Funky Popcorn?) by Hot Butter, though the song was actually written by Messrs. Perrey & Kingsley in the late '60s (the Hot Butter hit was circa '73)... I could believe it too. Jarre's first LP, Deserted Palace (withdrawn 'cuz he wanted to be more of a "serious" artist), has a lot of novelty stuff; witness tracks like "Poltergeist Party," "Rain Forest Rap Session," "Pogo Rock," "Exasperated Frog" and "Bee Factory." .John.

That would be 1978's "Push Push (In the Bush)" by Musique, after he had moved to New York and been a DJ for a few years. He mixed (produced?) the track, and worked on a bunch of others with Larry Levan at Prelude Records. It's somewhat of a classic of the heady post-"disco", pre-"house" days...
