POP Goes The World! / What the Fontaine?!

POP Goes The Fat Lady (Best Of 2013 rewind)

Fri, Jan 2, 2026

Continuing our several weeks of pre-recorded shows while we get our new building up and running, POP Goes The World will continue it’s run back of yearly “Best Of” shows.

This week we’ll go back to when I was doing the Tuesday night 11p.m.-1a.m. time slot, and run back my Best of 2013 show which originally aired on December 10, 2013.

I’m really digging seeing the evolution of the POP Goes The World musical aesthetic, and seeing how many of these songs have held up over the years.

I thought the songs of last weeks run back of my “Best of 2021” show have held up extremely well. But that was only 4 years ago.

Now were going to take a huge 12 year musical leap, and see how these songs have held up.

Hope you enjoy this little musical trip down memory lane!
