Shrek but Fiona is trapped at a Warped Tour mosh pit.
Her hair's dyed black and she has snake bites
Donkey is Shrek's rastafarian drug dealer best friend who means well but is always high.
She was just a reakin of feminine beauty
Then Shrek hits her up on MySpace opening with the line: “Rawr imma dinosaur XD”

“Only shooting stars are actually UFO’s”
- Tom DeLonge
Who would win when it comes to getting the government to admit UFO/UAPs exist first?
Dozens of astronauts, pilots, military officers, former government workers, emergency service workers, scientists, and normal civilians
Vs.
1 strummy boi
----
Say what you will about Tom but he's the one who acquired and released the navy UFO videos which led to the admission of the UAP phenomenon and entire congressional hearings
Directly after WWII they admitted they existed, then they realized they couldn't figure it out so to pretend like they had control they started pushing for anyone who talked about them to be labeled a crazy person. Now they're back where they were 80yrs ago by admitting they exist. A lot of reputations were unfairly ruined along the way
Underrated comment right here.
love it!
🤣🤣🤣 that's hilarious. I almost missed it.
Dudeeeeeeee!!! That's funny as hell 🤣🤣💀💀
“How would you describe Alex Meltons channel?”
Me: “Well, the hits keep coming and they don’t stop coming”
And they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming
Back to the tube and I hit the play button!
and they dont stop coming, and they don't stop coming..
@@orangejuli07 doesn't make sense when this shits so fun, my mouse clicks play, and my day is done
This sounds like summer in ‘00. And it’s beautiful.
So right! It’s like the best of Take Off Your Pants and Jacket injected with a touch of Relient K
Sounds like Stifler has let the group down again but is looking to make amends with a grand gesture.
What’s My Age Again…
Simpler times
@@lukebowles7194 I need this montage
Love when you do "If Blink Wrote..." you have a great knack for emulating both Mark's and Tom's voice. It's subtle but not lost on me. Love it bro.
Don’t forget Barker’s style on the kit
Not just the voice. The whole vibe is just spot on
Agreed, so great haha
@@NickSquaredTV probably the thing I'm most impressed with. Everything else yeah of course, but Travis is Travis and Alex's drum parts shows how much he understands music and what makes and artist stand out.
@@nero91 facts. It’s the vocal mannerisms not just the tone. Knowing how to pronounce certain things dragging out vowels in specific spots. Pausing on certain consonants. It’s all spot on.
The drum arrangement on this is straight up bonkers
if theres one thing blinks known for, its travis going out of his mind as mark and tom try to keep up
Seriously, usually people that play all the instruments are usually guitarists first, bassist second and drummer last but you sir are a drummer that's happens to play the guitars
Wowzer. I feel like Alex's drumming doesn't get enough credit. It's pretty killer... Although I'm really hoping that those fills weren't edited on the midi-roll after the fact....
In the absolute best way
Oh man it’s so dang good
This channel gives me the strangest mixed emotions. I don't know if I'm nostalgic, if I'm just impressed with Alex's talent, or if I'm depressed about the proof positive evidence that all the music I was impressed with as a teenager can more than adequately be reproduced by one dude in his attic.
the music you like WAS made by a couple of teenagers in a attic,
producers can add beeps dings and echoes but the core the beat melody and lyrics are what you love
Wasn’t that way when we were younger king
No one can reproduce Blink.
One VERY talented dude in his basement
so trueeeeee hahahahah
The emulation of Travis' drumming style is so good.
I think it's what sets his "in the style of blink-182" stuff apart from other people's
What's the word for nostalgia for something that didn't actually happen? Because that's what this feels like. It's familiar and new at the same time. Love your work!
Right and I was like a little kid in the prime of blink-182 and I feel I was actually there and this song was affecting my life
Mandelgia?
Newstalgia?
anachronistic
Schizophrenia
This guy plays like Blink 182 better than Blink 182 plays like Blink 182 now days. Which is great because I really miss that music.
Hopefully that will change with their new music since edging was pretty good
Check out our music if you’ve got a minute! We love late 90s / early 2000s pop punk so that’s the kind of music we write!
dudes covers sound more like blink then modern blink does
your "if Blink wrote ..." series continues to be a catalogue of seamless bangers, incredible work Alex, your drumming in particular is just so damn impressive
You're one of those talents that not only revives interest in a genre, but you inspire people to listen to it that never would have otherwise. Keep being awesome, Alex!
This comment. His blink version of semi-charmed life sent me right back into that era of music. Hadn't listened to it for years... Alex is a legend!
Incredible work like always
Didn’t expect you here. Great content from Alex melton and you guys so keep it up.
Calvin and Habs listen to Alex Melton, I'm so happy to know that
I LOVE THIS! You should totally do "If Blink 182 wrote Running up that Hill" I feel like it would work REALLY well!
Rest in peace Steve Harwell..
Man it’s insane how good you are at drums. Most people have a dominant instrument but you’re equally badass at it all.
RIP Steve Harwell 🙏🏼
I LOVE when you do these "If Blink 182 Wrote...." covers! This one totally made my (otherwise not great) day. :)
Brought me back to my high school years lol
I can almost hear Mark Hoppus in the first verse and Tom Delonge in the second, just to end singing together in the chorus... love it!!!
That drum fill at 2:58 is so good.
This sounds like it could have been on Neighborhoods. It would be cool if you could do a "If Blink-182 wrote..." in a way that emulates their Dude Ranch era.
Yeah, Dude Ranch, my favorite!
Sounds like Enema to me
this triggers a very satisfying nostalgia/deja vu for being a self-serious scene kid in the 2000s. delightful.
this is my first video I've seen by you and what kept me watching was the genuine pleasure and delight in seeing you sing and perform! love seeing someone enjoy themselves.
I can picture exactly which part would Mark or Tom sing, and this is pretty insane. Good job man !!
The years start coming and they don't stop coming. Indeed. You never know if you don't go.
The drums are unbelievable! Total travis magic! Transforms the track, great job! You really are the pop punk MVP
I know that we're only seeing short, 3 minute versions of songs, but I'm so grateful for all of the days and hours you put into this dude. Bringing a ton of joy to me and my family! Keep it up brother
"3 minute versions of songs..."
Thats just the whole song my guy
Take Note, this man is truly a A Once in a Lifetime talent.
This is what this looks like this gen.
(Crank Lucas is similar)
If people could really fathom how many interlocking talents projects like this take to create, they would lose their mind proper in your presence, bruv.
Please keep it up. You've a solid fanbase and we're busy doing our part to grow it.
✌️
Bro, I don’t even know what to say about you. You’re wonderful and supremely talented. I always thought about songs being played differently and you’re bringing it to life for me. We are all very fortunate to have people like you. Listen to those lyrics man and keep making magic. Music is multilingual and I know you see that. Keep on rocking bro, blow the roof off this world. Best wishes, Bren
Dude… your drumming is INSANE!
These always make my day man. Alex never disappoints
After watching some of your videos, I am impressed.
You are very talented. When talking about Blink 182 it's really impressive... you not only got their soul on your covers, but also your voice is very similar to them.
Outstanding job.
You should have a million subs by now, bro. The Internet doesn't know what they're missing. You're the best, bro
This is absolutely fantastic.
I love their version because it's SO RAW & emotion provoking and, as my wife put it, the words aren't hidden by the music. *BUT* I also LOVE this version, because the music you made is just phenomenal. You're drumming has gotten impeccable and the effects on your voice, in those certain parts. You've just NAILED "old blink" man. I hope you are proud of yourself. Because I certainly am proud of you. .....this is the very first "if so and so, did so and so" song that I've ever added into my rotation. It's that good. Literally every bit as good as the original. Just in a different way, of course.
Yep. This rendition absolutely encapsulated how my life feels like right now lol

Can you sing i dont wanna know by new found glory? Hope to read my comment. 🤘
THANK YOU! I was just about to ask what was your drum setup. So dope!
what kind of computer?
yooo he's using getgood drums
Holy shit. If I close my eyes, I am 21 again, back at The Gorge in George, moshing it out in the pit at Blink. Glad I finally listened to UA-cam's rec and clicked ya. Thank you!!!!
Oh my god. Perfect song choice. And insane delivery on top of that.
Out here making certified bangers every week
this was one of my favorite songs growing up. Great cover man!
That breakdown STINKS of "Closing Time' and I'm ALL FOR IT.
And that’s why you’re the best UA-cam musician
Alex is such a talented musician, but inside of that he is just a phenomenal drummer. He always blows me away with it.
Mark sound: 8/10
Tom sound 6/10
Alex enthusiasm 11/10
Keep up the amazing work
RIP to the original All Star. I know he would have loved your cover if he didn't already see it
YOU'VE MADE A HAPPY AND DENSE COLOR WITH MELODIC PUNK
Damn. Every video you put out I’m just blown away by how talented you are.
The only thing potentially better than the music (and the artistic switch of it) is the editing of your videos.
Great stuff, my dude. Seriously great stuff.
Dude it's criminal that you don't have at least 1 million subs. Blows my mind more than the talent you posses. And that's saying something cause you are hands down one of the most talented musicians of this generation. Oh and obviously, killer job as always. Love from Michigan.
this is actually no joke so great i love this so much
“Didn’t make sense not to live fer fun”
Yep…that’s Blink
I'm in a depressive slump. This helped me have enough energy to get out of bed. Thank you.
This is actually perfect. Sounds just like Mark would.
I’m pretty sure whenever I’m bored I just come to thus channel and voila
Adore your covers, man. Thanks for all the stellar performances.
The hardcore punk beat towards the end pumped me up so much. Couldn’t resist rocking out
This is the entirety of Neil Cicierega's first two Mouth Albums, condensed into a single song.
Love what you do man. Keep killin it.
This is gonna pop so bad, sounds amazing!
I'll be back when this has 10M views.
Cya in 2 months.
First few seconds my mind was so confused lol
Shows how well you integrate them both.
Love the work !
Ugh. I remember this song coming out in 97 and everyone just spamming it in the school grounds and thinking years later it would never be this good again. But this reminds me of those times. Wonderful mix brother. Please make many many more ^^
That post bridge prechorus was the drum beat I was waiting on... When it hit. I was like yep.. blinked it!
I'm a simple man. I see Alex Melton do a video where it's All Star by Smash Mouth but if Blink 182 wrote it, I click like
i fucken love this way to much good job hell mate you need an award for this
Every time I watch one of your covers, I have this same thought: "HOly fuck, this dude is incredible!" The vocals, bass, guitar, tones are all so good. I can't believe you're that good at drums too. Playing Travis-style like that is badass. You've got it down. Sounds like it could have been Travis playing this but it's all you
Bro, that tele is gorgeous!!! Nice arrangement.
I’m always impressed how you get a single coil tele to sound like that.
The interlude is just * chef's kiss * classic Blink
This was posted 32 seconds ago!?!?!?!? DUDE, I absolutely love your music. Keep rocking!
Dude, this looks incredible.
You managed to bring the two bands together, and the ones I like a lot ... and that was a lot of mass !
Congratulations!🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is fantastic. You always nail the Blink "covers"
Somehow I've only just come across your videos and they've cheered me up after a rubbish day. Thanks!
Spent the whole song awaiting the expected and much-needed half-time chorus but I was not expecting that drop, loving your work as always
Dude I LITERALLY love these!!!
RIP Steve Harwell 🥺🤘
You actually made this song listenable in 2022 haha. Sick stuff man!
it would be really cool if Blink 182 started playing your arrangements live and maybe even recorded them themselves. i bet the right person could make that happen. hopefully they are reading this.
Mark is on Twitch, Matt is living for being in Blink, Travis is out doing his own thing and Tom is looking for aliens. Hopefully though they do
@@rocketblooom im hoping at least one of them has seen one of Alex's videos. i just want to know they know he exists and enjoy what he's doing. it would also be cool if Mark or Tom did a reaction video. maybe one of those magazines with a youtube presence like GQ could make it happen.
we could all use a little change! great video as always. now i'm off to watch shrek for the millionth time, thanks lol!
This guys should just be in blink 182 lol
This is my first video to catch of yours. I'm glad to have stumbled across it. Awesome stuff.
Would love to hear “If Blink-182 wrote the ‘Steamed Hams’ scene from the Simpsons”
No idea how it would work or anything, but I just know this guy would kill it
I’m driving and having a shit day, yeah I listen to UA-cam when I drive. This popped off and instant smile bro. Thanks man. Wish I could jam out to this in the gym. Spotify yourself haha
That hi-hat choke right before the first chorus… that was on point with Travis. Well damn done. 🤙🏻
That interlude was sick. Such style.
Your drumming is getting super tight. I also thought this had strong New Found Glory energy!
I could hear it in my head just from the title! Great job man!
If blink 182 wrote "all the pretty girls" from Kenny chesney next please.
I'm half waiting for Mark or Tom to do guest vocals this is so ridiculously good.
Will we ever get an "If the Wonder Years Wrote...." again?
Living Room Song in Double time would be lit too
I need this, it would be amazing
I had no idea what to expect of this, but I love that it feels ... mellower, I think is the right word, than the Smash Mouth original.
Alex -> Serious idea
Would you consider transforming some songs by My Chemical Romance or Avenged Sevenfold? Country or Punk versions?
Never been able to wrap my mind around a way to make it work, but I always thought Almost Easy would be a great country song given the subject.
Dude you are just outstanding, wish I've found you earlier! Thumbs up for you and all your work!
All of your blink covers are with Tom still in the band. The exact way it should be!
Okay this just made my day you are a rockstar you are at All-Star in my point of view thank you for making
Are there enough "If Blink 182 Wrote..." to make an entire album of just them yet? 😍
Saturday morning 11 June 2022. Awesome, thanks Alex.
2:58 damn bro the range is wild
The first time you do the "all that glitters is gold" bit is just mmm 👌
Bro… how are you not blowing up more on social media? Seriously, you got some insane talent!
They did this in real life and they called it Boxing Day
