No the one you posted is from the 80's. I think it's a track by M&H Band. This is so typical 80's
You can listen to the original Pop Corn form 1969 here.

Popcorn is a track made famous by Hot Butter & The Popcornmakers in 1972 and composed and originally performed by Gershon Kingsley waaaaay back in 1969 (5 years before I was born). This (Hot Butter) is the most well know version of this song (you can clearly hear by the timbres the backing is also played on some organ! Most likely Farfisa...?!?!). I bet some money on it that this, amongst some other tracks, has inspired Jarre for Oxygene in some way (not only musical wise, but also organ-wise ). Also the early Moog's can be heard on this track. In the later 70's it has also been covered by guitaroriented-band 'The Sputniks' which I have still laying around on an old vinyl record somewhere (I'll try and dig it up... it's a real rarity!!!)... In the 70's everybody tried to incorporate synthesizers in their music, a lot of people where looking and exploring, but finally 1976 JMJ hit it big with Oxygene, because he was the first not trying to incorporate them in music, but LETTING them be the music and giving synthe's their rightful place in time and history... the rest IS history...

Talking about Dominiqie Perrier... who does still remember Perrier and Roger Rizzitelli as the duo Space Art with their one-hit wonder Onyx?Antigoon wrote: Jarre discovered this organ when working with dominique perrier in the early 70's on Christophe and Gerard Lenorman albums, in fact, he borrowed one of dominique's organs to use on oxygene...
