8 thoughts on “Hot Butter’s Percolator, The Sequel To Popcorn”

1. I didn’t know there was a sequel either.
   I remember dancing to Popcorn in gym class when I was a kid.

2. I didn’t know there was a sequel, either! But the instrumentation, structure, and rhythm all sound very Popcorn-ish. Kinda like how Mike Oldfield’s later Tubular Bells revisit some earlier ground with alternate melodies.

3. Bit of a one trick pony weren’t they? Nonetheless, I enjoy it.

4. Yes – it sounds like they decided they had to come out with something that sounded a lot like Popcorn!

   1. More like "Popcorn" sounding like "Percolator" since "Percolator" was released in 1962 by Billy Joe & The Checkmates.

5. There was a very similar little “blip” riff used to advertise a variety of coffee (I think it was Brim) on television… not quite the exact same notes, but only off by the last one I think. I have this image in my head of the glass top on a coffee percolator, with the little spurts of coffee percolating in time to the notes.

   Or, I could just be completely misremembering history, as I apparently was when remembering a chain of hamburger restaurants in the US in the ’70s called Hamburger Joy.

   A lesson to you, kids… don’t watch too much television, rots your brain… go buy a synth instead.

   1. Close but no cigar. Maxwell House used the "percolator" sound for their coffee and from there it went on to become a pop hit.

6. You kids remember that rave classic the Perculator by Cajmere? Anywho, it was the shit, while tripping balls on E at 4am.

   hahaha ~ a little dated now, though. (Not as much as the fashion in this video). Oddly enough, even more so then the Hot Butter version, which for sure came to a boil first.
