Popcorn

(Incomplete) list of versions of the famous, or according to some people infamous song 'Popcorn'.
The list is still in progress. Quite a few versions aren't yet submitted to discogs.
I tried to add the release year of the different versions as accurate as possible, based on the information here on discogs.
Please contact me if you see another one that should be added, or if a certain Popcorn release in this list should be excluded beacuse it's not a version of the song orginally written by Gershon Kingsley. Thanks!
By the way, I don't own an/or even haven't heard every single version in this list. :-)
