"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
