Since enduring a storm with loud hail this morning, "Popcorn" by Hot Butter, a synthesizer instrumental, has been on my mind. Popcorn, to me, mimics the sound of hail, and Hot Butter's 1972 hit conveys the turbulence of a storm. With an ominous forecast for mire stormy weather later today, "Popcorn" will likely park itself in my mind again for hours.
Incidentally, I don't think I've ever heard anyone play "Popcorn" outside of "American Top 40." It's one of those set-firmly-in-its-time instrumentals that didn't make the jump to oldies radio rotations.
