The very definition of a novelty single is when a badly sung song is based on a popular melody. And this single is a good example of that. Everybody knows the tune 'Popcorn' by Gershon Kingsley, and the person hiding behind the pseudonym Fausti decided to make a song from it, titled 'Popcorn essen ist gesund' ('Eating popcorn is healthy').
The single was released in 1972; the lyrics were apparently written by Hans Podehl, a German drummer. The singer goes uncredited.
