Mother Popcorn

 

• First appeared on: James Brown: It’s A Mother (1969)
• Trivia: In an unreleased version of G-Spot Prince quotes the line I don’t want no trash, gimme some of that popcorn from this song.
  The line I like ’m fat, I like ’m proud, you got to have a mother for me from Gett Off is paraphrasing this song.
  This song is sampled in Gett Off (various versions), released on Diamonds And Pearls and the single Gett Off.
• Composed by: James Brown, Pee Wee Ellis
