Pete & Pop Play The Wii (2018)
Pete & Pop Play The Wii
Pete and Pop Play The Wii is a two-track EP from 2018 featuring Pop Hitchcock—then performing under the name Pop The Pioneer—and Premiere Pete. Built almost entirely around jokes, memes, and the absurd energy of two friends messing around, the project captures a much lighter and more carefree side of Pop Hitchcock’s early catalog.
Both tracks are constructed around samples from the iconic Wii Sports soundtracks, transforming familiar sounds from the game into the foundation for two completely unserious musical experiments. The result is less concerned with conventional songwriting and more interested in having fun with the source material.
Originally created in 2018, Pete and Pop Play The Wii serves as a time capsule of an early creative era—before the increasingly experimental production and concepts that would later define Pop Hitchcock’s catalog. It’s goofy, nostalgic, meme-heavy, and intentionally ridiculous.
Two songs.
Two friends.
One Wii.
