"Mother Popcorn (You Got to Have a Mother for Me)" is a song recorded by James Brown and released as a two-part single in 1969. A #1 R&B and #11 Pop hit, it was the highest-charting of a series of recordings inspired by the popular dance the Popcorn which Brown made that year, including "The Popcorn", "Lowdown Popcorn", and "Let a Man Come In and Do the Popcorn". (The "mother" of the song's title was, in the words of biographer RJ Smith, "[Brown's] honorific for a big butt".) Vicki Anderson recorded the answer song "Answer to Mother Popcorn (I Got a Mother for You)", also in 1969.

  • "Mother Popcorn (You Got to Have a Mother for Me)" is a song recorded by James Brown and released as a two-part single in 1969. A #1 R&B and #11 Pop hit, it was the highest-charting of a series of recordings inspired by the popular dance the Popcorn which Brown made that year, including "The Popcorn", "Lowdown Popcorn", and "Let a Man Come In and Do the Popcorn". (The "mother" of the song's title was, in the words of biographer RJ Smith, "[Brown's] honorific for a big butt".) "Mother Popcorn" has a beat and structure similar to Brown's 1967 hit "Cold Sweat", but a faster tempo and a greater amount of rhythmic activity (including much agitated 16th note movement from the horn section) give it a more frenetic quality than the earlier song. Critic Robert Christgau singled out "Mother Popcorn" as the turning point in Brown's funk music in which he "began to concern himself more and more exclusively with rhythmic distinctions." The song features a saxophone solo by Maceo Parker, which starts at the end of Part 1 in the single version of the song. Vicki Anderson recorded the answer song "Answer to Mother Popcorn (I Got a Mother for You)", also in 1969. (en)

  • "Mother Popcorn (You Got to Have a Mother for Me)" é uma canção funk gravada por James Brown e lançada como single de duas partes em 1969. Sucesso número 1 da parada R&B e número 11 da parada Pop, foi a canção mais bem posicionada nas paradas de uma série de canções inspiradas na dança popular "The Popcorn" que Brown fez naquele ano, incluindo "The Popcorn", "Lowdown Popcorn" e "Let a Man Come In and Do the Popcorn". (A palavra "mother" (mãe) do título da canção era, nas palavras do biógrafo RJ Smith, "a gíria [de Brown] para uma bunda grande".) "Mother Popcorn" tem uma batida e estrutura similares à outra faixa de Brown, "Cold Sweat" de 1967, mas com um andamento mais rápido e uma grande quantidade de atividade rítmica incluindo muitas semicolcheias da sessão de sopro e as três guitarras dão mais qualidade à canção anterior. O crítico Robert Christgau aponta "Mother Popcorn" como um divisor de águas na música funk de James Brown que "começou a preocupar-se mais e mais exclusivamente com distinções rítmicas." A canção tem um solo de saxofone de Maceo Parker, que começa no fim da Parte 1 na versão single. Vicki Anderson gravou uma "canção resposta" chamada "Answer to Mother Popcorn (I Got a Mother for You)", também em 1969. (pt)
