I made a Popcorn list  smile

Let me know if you have anything to add, or if some releases in the list are unjustified. I'm sure about 99%.

Re: Lists on Discogs

^^ That's a lot of popcorn!  yikes

I remember we talked  about your Popcorn-collecting when driving to the Utrecht recordfair last time.

Not for your list probably (although released on vinyl) but I definitely think back of Freek De Jonge's - De Mythe (his best show I think) in which he hums this melody from popcorn now and then. Maybe a nice tip for you? You can find this record for cheap on fleamarkets for sure. Haven't bought it myself (I actually should) so I don't know precisely on which track you can find this but I think this "humming" starts at track C2 "Opa-Vader-Moeder-Zuster-Broer".

Other association is (ofcourse) as a soundtrack to videogames but which I actually don't remember that well... When doing a search I find "Pengo" but I think (maybe it's just me) there were some other games in which popcorn was also used (?).

While at it (searching) found there was an Italian televisionshow called "Popcorn". Kinda "over the top" Italian danceshow from the early till mid 80's but nice (and also less nice ;-) disco-music to be found there.

Wikipedia says: "The song was also featured as the background music in the first version of the 1982 arcade game Pengo, the 1983 IBM PC game Digger, and the 1984 Mikro-Gen microcomputer game Pyjamarama. Many cover versions were made on popular home computers such as Atari, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amiga, often by anonymous artists."

I think I remember it best from the game: Digger.

Thanks, I came across the Pengo one already, I'm not sure those computergame versions ever made it to vinyl/cd. I found this site dedicated to Popcorn by the way. There are a lot of versions there. You can also listen snippets of most (all?) versions. There are a lot that are not in discogs.
I like the early versions best by the way, and some of the 80's versions.

I agree, pretty entertaining lists.

Re: Lists on Discogs

Funny lists indeed, I discovered a few because some records I added to discogs where put in this lists by this user.

Re: Lists on Discogs

^^ So many? I didn't even know 1....so thanks for making me aware. You're becoming specialist in collecting versions of a song? If so there's a lot of work to do!  wink

"Are you loving?"

Re: Lists on Discogs

It's fun to collect different versions of some songs, though mostly it just starts by accident. It all depends on what  you come across on flea markets/shops etc. By now I have  5 versions of El Bimbo (have to add one lp to discogs), then I thought it would be fun to see how many versions there are in Discogs. smile
Maybe I should make a (I can't get no) Satisfaction list, as I have a few different versions of that song as well, and  there must be quite a lot.

Re: Lists on Discogs

Made a new, pretty small, list. If anyone happens to know more different versions, let me know, couldn't find more right away. smile

Some go beyond torture. A lot of Carl Lewis (the olympic runner) records could be edited into CBS worthy material.

Here's an addition to the celeb list: aTelecine
Sasha Grey's experimental noise project! big_smile

Re: Lists on Discogs

lol, experimental noise...

she did the vocals on one track of Aleph At Hallucinatory Mountain from Current 93 and it's really a nice song. She obviously has good taste in music.

She  also particpates on the X-TG Desertshore  album (remake of Nico's record)

Don't know if I should laugh or cry about the title of this list: Got this on MP3 only

Re: Lists on Discogs

Extensive list of using the word "night" in italo(ish) records. It's still less than the use of the "word" => "oh". smile

Re: Lists on Discogs

Deriving from a thread we did once on R4R. The Italoooh DiscOho-list:

http://www.discogs.com/lists/Italoooh-DiscOho/179379

It's not as much as in the list with "night" as I thought in an earlier post in this thread though.

I left out the songs with halfbaken (halfbakken) oooh's and oohooo's out as much as possible.

new list (work in progress) about one of my obsessions - bizarre and decadent packaging:
