"Supernova Goes Pop" blasts off from Tonight the Stars Revolt!, the band's 1999 album, and it got a CD single of its own in 2000. Powerman 5000 produced it with Ulrich Wild, who mixed it too. The band takes the music credit and Spider One wrote the words.
The video keeps it simple: the 1998–2001 lineup of Spider One, Adam Jeremy Williams, Allan Pahanish Jr., Dorian Heartsong and Mike Tempesta tearing through it live at an unnamed show. It landed on the Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec soundtrack in 2001, and it has stayed one of the band's most popular songs and a live fixture, usually coming straight after "An Eye Is Upon You", with Spider One tweaking a few of the words on stage. Pahanish's drumming gets singled out for praise.
