Someone evidently thought they were writing for a college paper and not an encyclopedia when they added the history of how the song got its name to the lead, so I've reworded it to sound more professional. Regarding the issue with Kraftwerk, apparently this is a very common misconception - I wonder if it shouldn't be acknowledged in the article that sources that indicate the band recorded the song are in error? 70.72.223.215 ( talk) 16:50, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
I'd like to note that between the lead and the background section, there are two different origins for the title. They seemingly conflict with one another, this may need to be verified. Centrisian ( talk) 15:31, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Look at the photo of the single. 86.161.112.53 ( talk) 19:31, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
There are hundreds of covers of this song [1]. The article lists dozens of them [2]. Crazy Frog's cover is listed among them, but it does not merit an entire section. I'd like to remove it for lacking notability. 76.119.237.248 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:02, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

is it possible to do a summary of the video for the Crazy Frog version of the song? Visokor ( talk) 06:27, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
Barthezz track "On the move", featuring very similar melody and sound to this one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.144.102.201 ( talk) 16:03, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
Can anyone confirm if this is the real music video for Gershon Kingsley's version? I'm skeptical that RKO and Paramount Pictures funded for the music video. Link is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSRCemf2JHc
Additionally, there is a French video that shows six people dancing to the Hot Butter rendition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfdLh0MHqKw ElMeroEse ( talk) 06:44, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

What about the Pop corn Makers "version"? If I ain't wrong, this was a band including G. Kingsley himself..! This would make it worth mentioning, isn't it? Oxygene7-13 ( talk) 11:22, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
is it possible to note the muppets version on this song? 2600:1700:BA02:9540:2846:FE2B:154D:6BFC ( talk) 02:46, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
Johnny brave's remix is clearly worth including in popcorn versions list. 130.164.177.215 ( talk) 20:38, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
At present the lead to the article states: "The Moog synthesizer original version became a worldwide hit in 1972, when it was covered by Hot Butter, an American pop band." This seems to require clarification/correction - I would assume that the original version from the Moog album was NOT a hit, whereas the Hot Butter cover version clearly was. Perhaps someone who knows can clarify whether the Moog (album-only??) version got much play. JA 1961 ( talk) 10:40, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
