Top of the Pops 

Pat DiNizio, singer/rhythm guitarist/songwriter of the cool New Jersey garage rock/alternative rock band Smithereens says that this phrase, which is the title of a hit from their 1991 album "Blow Up", means basically "Hey man, c'est la vie". This is in the CD liner notes of the album "Blown to Smithereens, Best of the Smithereens".

Top of the pops 

The head/leader of the popular group, at least at King's High School for Girls Warwick. They have a tendency to be the sluttiest/most fake of all of the popular girls or is the evil genius behind how the group act. Most of the populars aspire to be like them or just follow her around. See popular girls for information on what popular girls are like.
(Note: Populars are not always popular, they just usually have a gaggle of brainless bimbo friends surrounding them)
There is a group of fake/slutty girls walking through the cafeteria, following one girl - she has only designer labels, has the shortest skirt in the school/year/grade/class and wears the most make up, but has the most devious brain too. Every one of her friends has to tag around with her or cater to her needs only, otherwise here comes a tantrum or one of the most evil comebacks yet. The one girl also has had the most boyfriends (most likely) and is usually the first to lose their virginity. The one girl is the top of the pops, aka the head cheerleader/sluttiest or most devious girl in school etcetera

Top of the Pops

Hold tight, now we're on our own
Cue light, now it's ready to roll
Tonight, how I've waited for aggravated for years
It's fun, oh I just can't wait
Hold on, do I look up to date
Your on, I'll do anything if that's the right thing to see
Does it matter what is shown
Just as long as everyone knows
What is selling what to buy
The stock market for your hi fi
Take the money, leave the box
Everybody's on top of the pops
There's one, born every day
Sing song, then fade away
Ding dong, what's the future in the pop music industry
Alright, so you make the grade
Hold tight, to the buck you made
Just wait, you been rated for constipated peak viewing time
Does it matter what is shown
Just as long as everyone knows
What's in fashion what is seen
On the front of a television screen
Take the money, leave the box
Everybody's on top of the pops
Hold tight, now we're on our own
Cue light, now it's ready to roll
Tonight, how I've waited for aggravated for years
It's fun, oh I just can't wait
Hold on, do I look up to date
Your on, I'll do anything if that's the right thing to see
Does it matter what is shown
Just as long as everyone knows
What is selling what to buy
The stock market for your hi fi
Take the money, leave the box
Everybody's on top of the pops
Pay the money, watch the box
Everybody's on top of the pops
Everybody's on top of the pops

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
