It blows my mind this is made in the 60s. It sounds so out of time. A timeless piece of music.

I was 17 and decided I wanted to be a DJ, managed to get a once-a-week gig at the local youth club. This was my intro each week, I'm 70 now but falling down the YouTube rabbit hole and finding this is just gold :)

I'm happy to see this song did in fact exist, and wasn't just a fever dream

I am Japanese, and in the 1990s, my father used to take me to an arcade where this song was frequently played. About 10 years ago, it was also playing in a lonely game corner of a supermarket in the countryside. I miss those days.

Every cartoon in the Soviet era used this music. It's been burned into my brain since a young age.

So far ahead of it's time. This sounds like the birth of electronica and synthwave.

Very first album I ever bought. It was 1970, and I was 7 years old. I immediately took it to my best friend's house, and after replaying for 40 minutes straight, his sister ripped it off the phonograph and broke it. good times.

My grandma used to chase me around the living room to this song. Rest in peace, Grandma Joan.

This was the first song I ever recorded on my brand new cassette recorder I got for a pressie. I was 13 and here I am having a listen at 60!

I am stunned that this techno is now 50 years old.

I never get tired of hearing that familiar " crackle" as the needle makes contact with a vynal record. This music was way ahead of its time. I remember when it first came out.

Who is here because for absolutely no reason at all this song popped up into your brain for the first time since 1970 and you instantly even remembered the name?

Finally found it. I can die in peace.

I was born in 1989 and love these classics that paved the way for all the dance lovers out there xxx

You can see where Jean Michelle Jarre got his inspiration from. Timeless classic ☝️

Our music teacher in grade school used to put this on at the end of class and we had to do a crazy dance like we were popcorn that was popping. It caused a lot of injuries but we did it with her for 4 years until this kid named Kyle got knocked over into a cupboard and broke his tooth. Memories ❤️

This was our wedding song, our 1st dance as a married couple. Ahh, memories. Brings a tear to my eye with every alimony check I write, and when I hear this song.

They were best known for their 1972 version of the Moog synthesizer instrumental hit "Popcorn", originally recorded by its composer, Gershon Kingsley, in 1969. I was 13 when I heard ( I was residing, in Europe than,) from my neighbor playing it...he just came from Overseas...Vidal, used to get Records that wasn't played in my Country. The sound was Amazing, Superb. I was justa 13 year old but knew that this Sound 🎶 like others were very different... It wasn't even NOT played on the Radio...this is 1972. Thank you, Vidal...❤ 🎼🎵🎶 It still playing on this side of the World...🎼🌟1🇺🇸🫶It melted in my brain, for ever❤️🔥🇺🇸
