Even crazier is that Coolio makes a cameo in the music video, but he didn't approve of Weird Al's parody Amish Paradise. Like who would choose FALLING IN REVERSE over Weird Al?
Oh man that song is so bad. My Bluetooth radio transmitter broke recently so I had to put up with listening to the radio in my car. The only local station I can tolerate considers itself "rock/alternative" so they've been playing this song a lot recently. Whenever that happens I just turn it off. I prefer to listen to the wind whistling past my driver side window rather than that abomination. It sounds soulless like a song written in a board room meeting at a big corporation. Even Billy Joel thinks his original is incredibly annoying and avoids performing it live. There's a video of him trashing the song when a fan kept trying to get him to play it at a show.
God looking back at these albums is a rough experience, but some more standouts that deserve love is The Maine's cover of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, which is just beautiful to me personally. And Punk Goes Christmas as a whole. Some of those were just simple covers but several were fully original songs that still put such a smile on my face every holiday.
A few pop goes punk songs that I unironically love: A day to remember - Since u been gone Mayday parade - Somebody that you used to know Hands Like Houses - Torn Vanilla Sky - Just Dance, Umbrella and A Thousand Miles
I loved this. I’ve got such a special place in my heart for Crown The Empire’s cover of Payphone despite it being kinda unbearable. Would love to see you cover the best of / worst of for the rest of the PGP series
Dr. Demento did a version of this with an album called "Covered in Punk." But, unlike the examples in the video; "Covered in Punk" is quite excellent. The highlight for me is Shonen Knife's cover of "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Eat It." Super fun!
some funny things about punk goes 1. punk goes crunk releasing at the same time as the crunkcore trend yet no bands from that scene featured (breathe carolina were on fearless and on other punk goes releases aswell) 2. paramore's ain't it fun was on a punk goes pop album and how crazy it is that they're the only emo band to get so big that punk goes pop were riding their coattails.
Loved this video but for one point... As a longtime punk/hardcore guy do not, and I cannot emphasize this enough, dismiss AFI alongside the Warped Tour crowd. I've never been one to gatekeep, but that's a misunderstanding of AFI's breadth of influence on punk and hardcore.
The newer Punk goes Pop stuff is wayyyy better imo. Four Year Strong’s cover of “Love Song” by Sara Bareilles goes so hard. I also have to mention Bayside’s cover of Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls” because it’s such a fun mix and I’m biased towards anything Bayside.
That "Love Song" cover is overall pretty solid, but their singer failing to hit the note when he sings "wRiTe you a love song" does make me cringe every time
my friend introduced me to Crown The Empire's cover of Burn by Ellie Goulding. I never heard the OG so I thought the cover sounds pretty great. Then I tried listening to the OG and it is such a different vibe. But listening to it now after years of not listening, the cover sounds pretty mid.
The Devil Wears Prada were the only band to understand the assignment. Their version remains on my covers playlists. Also all love and praise to manny fresh for producing the fuck out of the original Still Fly. The arrangement lent itself to a good cover. It's made up of so many great parts. Perfect for translation.
I actually think that they should take the best songs from the punk goes pop albums and put those all out. All the weird albums can definitely be tossed to the side but a punk goes pop best of would be pretty sick
It funny how Fall Out Boy's cover of Beat It,Goldfinger's cover of 99 Luftabaloons,Panic! At The Disco's cover of Bohemian Rhapsody, The Used and MCR's duet of Under Pressure and Quietdrive's cover of Time After Time apparently weren't good enough for Punk Goes Pop.
FOB, MCR and P!ATD certainly aren't Fearless alumni so I can imagine the same goes for the rest... MCR/The Used's Under Pressure was a charity single, FOB's Beat It was a promo track for their live album (also featured John Mayer), and P!ATD's BoRhap was for the Suicide Squad soundtrack. Goldfinger's 99 Red Balloons also predates Punk Goes Metal by like, 5 months :))
I'm sure they just use the Crunk in the title for the alliteration. Punk goes Crunk just rolls better off the tongue than punk goes rap or something similar ...
I know that a lot of people dislike it, Don Henley included, but I will defend the Ataris' cover of "The Boys of Summer" until my dying days. Unfortunately, pop punk covers like that seem to be the exception rather than the rule.
I didn't think there were a lot of people who didn't like that cover. I certainly liked it. It put a more modern twist on a classic song without losing too much of the feel of the original. Cover songs are tricky because you can never expect to please everybody with them. People will hate them for being too far or too close to the original versions. That said, some covers are just plain overhated in my opinion...
Will Smith has some good songs though like Men In Black, Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, So Fresh, Da Butta, Gettin Jiggy With It, Wild Wild West and of course SummerTime.
Of all the punk goes pop albums, the only one I still find myself listening to is Skylit Driver's cover of "Love the way you Lie" a song perfectly fit for a punk song, and they just fully go for it without any attempt to try and rap it.
I remember hearing a snippet of a pop goes punk song and thinking it sounded like it could be good so I put the album on Spotify and was pretty disappointed haha
Heh. I'm an old fecker, and I remember Napster before the Punk goes Pop series, when we'd find punk cover on the file sharing service. With the first one i thought, "THIS IS AWESOME, WHAT A GREAT IDEA" By the fifth one, i thought "I've heard this concept before, but it's still kind of funny," by the last one, i was bloody sick of them.... and after all that Pop Goes Punk came out.
Not gonna lie, I low key miss this series. All Time Low’s “Umbrella”, ADTR’s “Since U Been Gone” and “Cable Car (Over My Head)”, A Static Lullaby’s “Toxic” and a few others were great covers. I even liked Escape The Fate’s “Smooth” cover but that might just be me having bad taste lol. Can’t forget TDWP’s “Still Fly”, that track was just a straightup banger. I’ve always been a sucker for all “Hot Topic angsty 2000s kid” music though. “Punk Goes Crunk” title always bugged me though lmao.
For a palette cleanse, go watch Alex Melton. The most wonderful tracks, many in a theme of “If Blink 182 wrote…” or “If blank had half-time drums”, amongst others.
It should just be a banned concept. The few standout moments are not worth the musical injustice most cause. The consequences of TDWP’s tolerable cover is Our Last Night
I don't know how much this applies to "Punk Goes Pop", but someone pointed out that a lot of the UA-cam "pop but metal" covers don't do the songs justice because the people making them don't enjoy the songs they're covering. Similar to a cynical remake of a classic movie, they're just going through the motions. The whole appeal is just there in the title - it's a gimmick. It's just meant to make you giggle and go "that's not what that's supposed to sound like".
I will bully this entire series of releases but VersaEmerge's cover of Paint It Black on Punk Goes Classic Rock, or something like that, is actually pretty decent. The rest of the album is probably offensive though.
I mean Will Smith was pretty huge and inescapable in the early-2000s. If you were there it's not that crazy to think someone would pick a Will Smith song. It's just crazy it's called crunk because like you said it's definitely not crunk.
I feel like the only punk goes pop cover I like is the cab’s cover of disturbia since the style of the original song works for something heavier like rock also unlike something like the ain’t it fun cover in v4 if I recall it’s using the punk and rock genre to add on to the original not just cover it. Also because the cab is actually a band that can do multiple genres well so it felt natural for doing a cover on a song like disturbia by Rihanna
none of these compare to my fave punk covers compilation: Purple Pain, a Burning Heart records release i think, with Swedish punk bands (Refused, Randy, Teddybears et al) covering every song from Prince's Purple Rain. excellent stuff that fans of Punk Goes might appreciate
This is such a great and accurate run through, but imo the worst on Punk Goes Crunk is EASILY Say Anything's cover of "I Got Your Money." Like it's one thing that we can tell which bands absolutely phoned it in on these records, but that cover in particular just would not fly in 2023 for so many reasons.
There is a LOT of garbage in these compilations, don't get me wrong, but there are def more gems than you'd be lead to believe in this vid if you like this sorta sound. Tonight Alive's "Little Lion Man", Mayday Parade's "Somebody That I Used To Know", AFI's "My Michelle" and A Static Lullaby's "Toxic" are big highlights that deserved a mention imo!! We all know the crunk album is garbage, I don't think it's anyone's favourite, but there are gen some cool takes on these songs here!
you mentioned that Baby one more time was sung by a whiny white boy in his 20s? but the cover was done by Nicotine, a classic Japanese punk band that has been making music since the early 90s.
think this is bad? check out The Falling Downs out. they have an album covering popular rap songs in pop punk style. stuff like Fuckin Problems and Started From The Bottom
While watching this, I was curious about the current trend now, where they do in the style of . I can't tell if this was just an evolution of the Punk goes what back then. Is it a better way of doing stuff like this?
Lmfao 🤣 I remember seeing these cd 💿 albums and hearing some of these songs. What the hell were they thinking? They weren’t 😂. I was like I’d rather listen to kidz bop than listen to that other crap.
when most people make rock, punk or metal covers they don't seem to have anything in relation to the og song, stop being shy!!! gimme some synths please
thats pretty interesting, anyways heres some fnaf lore alright so basically there are two guys henry emily and william afton they start a family pizza restaurant together called fredbear's family diner, one day william locks henry's daughter charlie out of the restaurant and murders her outside, as seen in the fnaf 2 save him minigame and the security puppet minigame. charlie's soul goes on to possess the puppet animatronic. then in 1983 william's youngest son dies in hospital after being bitten by the fredbear animatronic as seen in fnaf 4, which causes fredbear's to close and the springlock suits to be decommissioned. the bite victim's soul goes on to possess the fredbear suit due to the suffering he sustained from the suit (this is explained in more detail in the fazbear frights epilogues). freddy fazbear's pizza is then opened. in 1985 william afton kills 5 more kids in a freddy's, and their souls go on to possess chica, bonnie, freddy, foxy, and golden freddy/fredbear (which now has 2 souls possessing it, directly paralleling the stitchwraith from the book series). that restaurant closes down but freddy's gets rebranded and has a grand reopening in 1987 as we see in fnaf 2. meanwhile, william opens circus baby's pizza world, featuring kid killing animatronics, however his daughter elizabeth gets killed by one of the animatronics (baby) and goes on to possess her. william sends his oldest son, michael, to go free her from the facility, as seen in sister location. back to freddy's - the fnaf 2 location stays open until the bite of 87, in which it's implied nightguard jeremy fitzgerald gets his frontal lobe bitten off by one of the animatronics. then fnaf 1 happens in a location that exists in 1993, not much lore there. after the 1993 location gets closed, william gets springlocked in the spring bonnie suit inside the abandoned building, becoming springtrap. Back to Baby in SL. Michael, after a week of working there gets lured to the scooping room by Baby in order to get his insides become outsides so that all the Funtime animatronics (now fused into Ennard) can use his body as a fleshsuit to escape the facility. Over time the suit starts to get rotten and more and more decayed. Michael body now turns purple and draws more attention (Note: there are now two purple guys, Miachel Afton, who is litterally purple due to decay in his fleshsuit, and William Afton, who isn't litterally pruple but the purple colour signifies him hiding in the shadow.) and the Funtime animatronics now as Ennard have to abandon ship in search of a new body. Somewhere down the line Baby tries to gain full control of the Ennard body and gets kicked out of Ennard, now becoming Scrap Baby and Ennard becoming Molten Freddy, both seen in Pizzeria Simulator and UCN. Speaking of…this brings us to Pizza Simulator, where our good friend Henry creates a decoy pizzeria intended to lure in all the loose ends which are: William Afton as scraptrap, Molten Freddy as the funtime animatronics, Scrap Baby as William's daughter and Henry's daughter, Elizabeth who posseses the puppet and gets lured in by her father by the animatronic Lefty. Before we get to the ending of pizza sim lets go over some key lore drops hidden in the game. When you buy Candy Cadet he has a chance of telling you 1 of 3 stories a day. All 3 stories follow the same pattern. 5 things becoming 1 thing. (5 keys melted into 1 key, 5 dead kids tied together and 5 dead cats sown together into 1.) This could be reffering to the funtime animatronics together becoming Ennard. On to the 2nd mingame: Secutity Puppet. When playing this minigame for the 3rd time we can see Henry daughter, Elizabeth locked out of the Pizzaria where she gets murdered by Afton, becoming his 1st victim. Next we see the puppet slowly crawling towards her dead body hugging her, and Elizabeth posesses her. When brightening up that same image we can see purple tire tracks from William when he fled the scene. And now for out 3rd minigame: Midnight Motorist. This game in labeled 'later that night' in the game files so we can assume we are playing as Afton in this minigame. When on the 3rd lap, we can see a crack in the road, in we go down it, we end up on a road leading to Jr's a bar/restaurant (presumably the fnaf 1 or 2 location or freddy's family diner) which Will isn't allowed into. The 2nd place we can go to is a house. The afton house. When will sees that his youngest son escapes thru the window to the freddy's restaurant he gets very angry. This most likeley causes William to create the sound illusion discs to scare his child and creating the nightmare animatronics in his mind to make him afraid of the freddy's restaurant. The sound illusion discs are also uses in fnaf 3 to create the phantom animatronics in the players mind. Thats why they also never kill the player in fnaf 3. This brings us to our 3rd and final minigame: Fruity maze. With help from the books and this minigame we know that the child who posseses Chica in fnaf 1 is the girl in Fruity Maze named Susie. This is all this minigame really tells us. Now the Pizza sim Ending. On the 5th night we hear Elizabeth, Henry's daughter talking but is interupted by her father. Henry reveals the pizzeria was a decoy, to lure in and capture all the loose ends and finnaly putting a stop to Afton (He never really dies i'll get to that later) . Everyone dies in the fire and the souls are finally put to rest. Onto UCN. In UCN we play as William Afton in purgatory, tormented again and again by his own creations. Thru the game we learn many things, such as that Chica was the 1st child to be killed and stuffed and possibly the first animatronic to be given life by the puppet. We also learn about 'the one you should not have killed'. This is presumably talking about the child that posseses golden freddy but as mentioned earlier, golden freddy could have mulitple souls inside of it. This brings us to fnaf vr: help wanted. The point here is that William Afton's soul is possesing the game becoming Glitchtrap (I will get into some theories about how this could've happened later). Through the game he posseses a game tester named Vannessa or Vanny (Vannessa+Bunny) which will most likeley be the main antagonist in fnaf security breach. William uses Vanny to continue to kill kids, even though his body is still in purgatory. We will probably get more information on her when security breach is released. Now onto how Afton's soul go tinto the game's come and possesed Vannessa. In the fazbear frights book series we read about two children stuck in the stickraith's body. One of the kids is said to be killed by Afton. He tells us how he is keeping him alive, to be forever tormented. In that same story we read about 'the patient in room 1280'. It is about a man in a hospital, burned beond recognition but somehow still alive. That is obviously William Afton. When the boy finnally decides to let Afton die, his last request is to be wheeled into an old, abandon Freddy's location. The hospital staff do so not really knowing why but looking at the state of Will here he is probably insane to some measures. When he is wheeled into the Freddy's location his body literally explodes. Now some parts of his soul go to purgatory/UCN, and other parts posses the computer parts, later to be scanned and reused to create the vr title. That is most likeley how he posseses the game but we can't really know for sure.
My teacher once told me that music is what you like it to be. Why hate on these when clearly a lot of people like them. If you don't like it, then move on. You like the original one? then listen to it. No one's forcing you to listen to the covers. It's not like you're the target audience for these album anyways. And btw, these are some of the best cover songs out there Runaway by Silverstein Hit Me Baby One More Time and Wrecking Ball by August Burns Red Tik Tok and Hot N' Cold by Woe Is Me Smooth by Escape the Fate Toxic by Static Lullaby Billie Jean by Breathe Carolina Rolling in the Deep by Go Radio Turn Down for What by Upon a Burning Body Love the Way You Lie by A Skylit Drive
the fact that you didnt bring up the cover of Baby I got your money by say anything, which along with Still Fly, was my favourite track on this mess of a comp. Max Bemis is taking the piss the entire time and its all the better for it. Nobody needed more earnest emo boy rapping.
No, they meant "hardcore fan" as in devoted (honestly, I don't even know if the writers of this video have even a passing familiarity with hc; I mean, given the choice of words, it sure doesn't sound like they do).
This series of compilations is definitely terrible but there are some great punk covers of non-punk songs that exist, one of the best is I Set My Friends On Fire covering Soulja Boy's "Crank Dat"
TDWP's "Still Fly", A Static Lullaby's "Toxic", and ADTR's "Since U Been Gone" are solid tracks.
kinda disappointed he didnt mention the cover of Gangsta’s Paradise…by FALLING IN REVERSE!!
YES THAT IS REAL!
if he mentioned falling in reverse he would lose his way, through the storm through the wind
His life would soon become like a video game, as well.
Even crazier is that Coolio makes a cameo in the music video, but he didn't approve of Weird Al's parody Amish Paradise. Like who would choose FALLING IN REVERSE over Weird Al?
@@davidnissim589 I know, right???
coolio has also performed it with FIR live a few times
I totally thought this would be another excuse to laugh at Fallout Boy's We Didn't Start the Fire
Oh man that song is so bad.

The only local station I can tolerate considers itself "rock/alternative" so they've been playing this song a lot recently. Whenever that happens I just turn it off.

Ok but the Umbrella cover kinda went hard
and Set It Off's cover of Problem is underrated
A day to remember doing since u been gone is still perfect
A few pop goes punk songs that I unironically love:
A day to remember - Since u been gone
Mayday parade - Somebody that you used to know
Hands Like Houses - Torn
Vanilla Sky - Just Dance, Umbrella and A Thousand Miles
Stitches- State Champs
Somebody that you used to know- Mayday Parade
Are tracks I do enjoy. Certainly a few bangers sprinkled in
I feel personally assaulted at the hate on these albums 😂
Fr I kinda miss the “punk goes” series lol
I loved this. I’ve got such a special place in my heart for Crown The Empire’s cover of Payphone despite it being kinda unbearable. Would love to see you cover the best of / worst of for the rest of the PGP series

1. punk goes crunk releasing at the same time as the crunkcore trend yet no bands from that scene featured (breathe carolina were on fearless and on other punk goes releases aswell)
2. paramore's ain't it fun was on a punk goes pop album and how crazy it is that they're the only emo band to get so big that punk goes pop were riding their coattails.

I actually think that they should take the best songs from the punk goes pop albums and put those all out. All the weird albums can definitely be tossed to the side but a punk goes pop best of would be pretty sick
Coincidentally, I was just listening to the Pop Goes Punk album a few minutes ago. This album will always have a special place in my heart.
It funny how Fall Out Boy's cover of Beat It,Goldfinger's cover of 99 Luftabaloons,Panic! At The Disco's cover of Bohemian Rhapsody, The Used and MCR's duet of Under Pressure and Quietdrive's cover of Time After Time apparently weren't good enough for Punk Goes Pop.
also Swing by miss may i
those covers weren't commissioned by fearless tho. some of those covers were released by the bands themselves as b-sides or singles
FOB, MCR and P!ATD certainly aren't Fearless alumni so I can imagine the same goes for the rest... MCR/The Used's Under Pressure was a charity single, FOB's Beat It was a promo track for their live album (also featured John Mayer), and P!ATD's BoRhap was for the Suicide Squad soundtrack. Goldfinger's 99 Red Balloons also predates Punk Goes Metal by like, 5 months :))
They also did a Punk Goes Christmas album and one of the few good songs in it is Fool's Holidays by All Time Low although it's not a cover.
I'm sure they just use the Crunk in the title for the alliteration. Punk goes Crunk just rolls better off the tongue than punk goes rap or something similar ...
you mean rhyme.

Will Smith has some good songs though like Men In Black, Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, So Fresh, Da Butta, Gettin Jiggy With It, Wild Wild West and of course SummerTime.
Wait until he finds out one of these albums has Silverstein doing a cover of Runaway

3:10 Children of Bodom's cover of Oops I Did It Again is pretty funny though
The whole video I was like "please please please don't talk shit about 'Still Fly'. I actually like that one." Thank you
I remember hearing a snippet of a pop goes punk song and thinking it sounded like it could be good so I put the album on Spotify and was pretty disappointed haha
The albums were always a mixed bag of enjoyable tracks, mediocre stuff, and garbage
I need a part two
Heh. I'm an old fecker, and I remember Napster before the Punk goes Pop series, when we'd find punk cover on the file sharing service.

Ironically Pop Goes Punk helped me branch out to more mainstream music lol
Shout out to Say Anything's cover of ODB's Got Your Money from the same album, where Max Bemis replaces the N word with literally "N word".
Ok but, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by the Mainewas a bop
Not gonna lie, I low key miss this series. All Time Low’s “Umbrella”, ADTR’s “Since U Been Gone” and “Cable Car (Over My Head)”, A Static Lullaby’s “Toxic” and a few others were great covers.

Actually, I liked the Punk Goes Pop covers of Bad Romance and Disturbia.
The disturbia cover is the only one I actually remember and actually in a good way
For a palette cleanse, go watch Alex Melton. The most wonderful tracks, many in a theme of “If Blink 182 wrote…” or “If blank had half-time drums”, amongst others.
If Hero/Heroine was a worship song is un-ironically great
Punk goes pop was hard af
proper title: When pop punk *saved* our favorite songs
I can actually see the benefits of the Punk Goes___ series.
Except for Punk Goes Crunk. That should've never happened .
That devil wears prada still fly cover holds up
@@BlueBeetle1939 i know. I meant as a whole
@@BlueBeetle1939TDWP and All Time Low both did great but yeah the rest was not good lmao

The Escape Frame’s “Nuthin’ But A G Thang” is one of my all time favorite summer songs.
I will bully this entire series of releases but VersaEmerge's cover of Paint It Black on Punk Goes Classic Rock, or something like that, is actually pretty decent. The rest of the album is probably offensive though.
Just started the video and just wanna say I will not tolerate any Still Fly hate.
Edited to say your take was solid.
The crunk section is priceless. #Assassinate
Worst part of covering Hey Ya in a pop punk direction is that it kinda makes sense. Sounds good on paper ngl
The Silverstein cover of Runaway is definitely worth a listen
I mean Will Smith was pretty huge and inescapable in the early-2000s. If you were there it's not that crazy to think someone would pick a Will Smith song. It's just crazy it's called crunk because like you said it's definitely not crunk.

If ya'll want an incredible "Alternative-goes-Punk goes Pop", try "Bills, Bills, Bills" as covered by... They Might Be Giants
No kidding, it rules
none of these compare to my fave punk covers compilation: Purple Pain, a Burning Heart records release i think, with Swedish punk bands (Refused, Randy, Teddybears et al) covering every song from Prince's Purple Rain. excellent stuff that fans of Punk Goes might appreciate
I appreciate that of all the things to dunk on from Punk Goes Crunk, Still Fly was not one of them.
I went to a local emo-night a few months ago and I swear nearly half the songs came from "punk goes pop" albums, it was awful.
making juliet simms and andy biersack sing when we were young has got to be one of Punk Goes Pop's greatest crimes.
This is such a great and accurate run through, but imo the worst on Punk Goes Crunk is EASILY Say Anything's cover of "I Got Your Money."
Like it's one thing that we can tell which bands absolutely phoned it in on these records, but that cover in particular just would not fly in 2023 for so many reasons.
Say Anything's cover is hands down my favorite on the album.
The albums as a whole are pretty inconsistent, but I find myself actually loving a bunch of the covers
I just prefer the rock instrumentation at times
This guy hates fun
Okay, so what's the stance on
“0ur Last Night" or “Fame on Fire”
Billy Cobb somehow perfected this formula a decade later
I loveeee Punk Goes Pop, not all of them are great but it does something for me. Just The away You Are by Pierce the Veil!!! Loved it sooo much
Four year strong and new found glory have both made entire albums like this
There is a LOT of garbage in these compilations, don't get me wrong, but there are def more gems than you'd be lead to believe in this vid if you like this sorta sound.

We all know the crunk album is garbage, I don't think it's anyone's favourite, but there are gen some cool takes on these songs here!
I dont think I ever heard of this before
I mean to this day i still listen to these albums
I am a thorough enjoyer of quality pop-punk. But this sounds like a crime against humanity
Comedown by Mayday Parade is actually better than original. It just has more energy and the vocals are amazing.
Also That's What I Like by Dance Gavin Dance is an emo classic hahaha it's a right of passage
you mentioned that Baby one more time was sung by a whiny white boy in his 20s? but the cover was done by Nicotine, a classic Japanese punk band that has been making music since the early 90s.
Punk goes pop 2 has some bangers lol
Thanks for covering this! This rabbit hole is a gold mine lol
Soooo...while I can't agree with you more, I can't help but question the artists that sold the rights to let these sh*tty songs happen
9:03 Look how thoroughly bored everyone in the store looks
0:10 you forgot the 2016 xxl cypher
The rolling in the deep cover was pretty good
I remember the punk goes pop version of payphone by maroon 5, ngl that shit kinda goes
3:16 And I oop🤣🤣🤣
think this is bad? check out The Falling Downs out. they have an album covering popular rap songs in pop punk style. stuff like Fuckin Problems and Started From The Bottom
They thought umbrella by Rihanna was Crunk? What the hell?
Only Obediah is allowed to cover Hey Ya
Surprised you never mentioned punk goes chirstmas, the crowd jewel of how terrible this series was
While watching this, I was curious about the current trend now, where they do in the style of . I can't tell if this was just an evolution of the Punk goes what back then. Is it a better way of doing stuff like this?
ADTR since you been gone was a banger though
I thought you were gonna to talk about MGK's "Love on the Brain" cover
or his Misery Business cover or his Aerials cover or... yeah
those weren't originally pop thus, Miserly Biasness was allready punk enough and Areals is rock@@peaceflower8302
Lmfao 🤣 I remember seeing these cd 💿 albums and hearing some of these songs. What the hell were they thinking? They weren’t 😂. I was like I’d rather listen to kidz bop than listen to that other crap.
Pop punk slander is always fantastic
when most people make rock, punk or metal covers they don't seem to have anything in relation to the og song, stop being shy!!! gimme some synths please
thats pretty interesting, anyways heres some fnaf lore
alright so basically there are two guys henry emily and william afton they start a family pizza restaurant together called fredbear's family diner, one day william locks henry's daughter charlie out of the restaurant and murders her outside, as seen in the fnaf 2 save him minigame and the security puppet minigame. charlie's soul goes on to possess the puppet animatronic. then in 1983 william's youngest son dies in hospital after being bitten by the fredbear animatronic as seen in fnaf 4, which causes fredbear's to close and the springlock suits to be decommissioned. the bite victim's soul goes on to possess the fredbear suit due to the suffering he sustained from the suit (this is explained in more detail in the fazbear frights epilogues). freddy fazbear's pizza is then opened. in 1985 william afton kills 5 more kids in a freddy's, and their souls go on to possess chica, bonnie, freddy, foxy, and golden freddy/fredbear (which now has 2 souls possessing it, directly paralleling the stitchwraith from the book series). that restaurant closes down but freddy's gets rebranded and has a grand reopening in 1987 as we see in fnaf 2. meanwhile, william opens circus baby's pizza world, featuring kid killing animatronics, however his daughter elizabeth gets killed by one of the animatronics (baby) and goes on to possess her. william sends his oldest son, michael, to go free her from the facility, as seen in sister location. back to freddy's - the fnaf 2 location stays open until the bite of 87, in which it's implied nightguard jeremy fitzgerald gets his frontal lobe bitten off by one of the animatronics. then fnaf 1 happens in a location that exists in 1993, not much lore there. after the 1993 location gets closed, william gets springlocked in the spring bonnie suit inside the abandoned building, becoming springtrap. Back to Baby in SL. Michael, after a week of working there gets lured to the scooping room by Baby in order to get his insides become outsides so that all the Funtime animatronics (now fused into Ennard) can use his body as a fleshsuit to escape the facility. Over time the suit starts to get rotten and more and more decayed. Michael body now turns purple and draws more attention (Note: there are now two purple guys, Miachel Afton, who is litterally purple due to decay in his fleshsuit, and William Afton, who isn't litterally pruple but the purple colour signifies him hiding in the shadow.) and the Funtime animatronics now as Ennard have to abandon ship in search of a new body. Somewhere down the line Baby tries to gain full control of the Ennard body and gets kicked out of Ennard, now becoming Scrap Baby and Ennard becoming Molten Freddy, both seen in Pizzeria Simulator and UCN. Speaking of…this brings us to Pizza Simulator, where our good friend Henry creates a decoy pizzeria intended to lure in all the loose ends which are: William Afton as scraptrap, Molten Freddy as the funtime animatronics, Scrap Baby as William's daughter and Henry's daughter, Elizabeth who posseses the puppet and gets lured in by her father by the animatronic Lefty. Before we get to the ending of pizza sim lets go over some key lore drops hidden in the game. When you buy Candy Cadet he has a chance of telling you 1 of 3 stories a day. All 3 stories follow the same pattern. 5 things becoming 1 thing. (5 keys melted into 1 key, 5 dead kids tied together and 5 dead cats sown together into 1.) This could be reffering to the funtime animatronics together becoming Ennard. On to the 2nd mingame: Secutity Puppet. When playing this minigame for the 3rd time we can see Henry daughter, Elizabeth locked out of the Pizzaria where she gets murdered by Afton, becoming his 1st victim. Next we see the puppet slowly crawling towards her dead body hugging her, and Elizabeth posesses her. When brightening up that same image we can see purple tire tracks from William when he fled the scene. And now for out 3rd minigame: Midnight Motorist. This game in labeled 'later that night' in the game files so we can assume we are playing as Afton in this minigame. When on the 3rd lap, we can see a crack in the road, in we go down it, we end up on a road leading to Jr's a bar/restaurant (presumably the fnaf 1 or 2 location or freddy's family diner) which Will isn't allowed into. The 2nd place we can go to is a house. The afton house. When will sees that his youngest son escapes thru the window to the freddy's restaurant he gets very angry. This most likeley causes William to create the sound illusion discs to scare his child and creating the nightmare animatronics in his mind to make him afraid of the freddy's restaurant. The sound illusion discs are also uses in fnaf 3 to create the phantom animatronics in the players mind. Thats why they also never kill the player in fnaf 3. This brings us to our 3rd and final minigame: Fruity maze. With help from the books and this minigame we know that the child who posseses Chica in fnaf 1 is the girl in Fruity Maze named Susie. This is all this minigame really tells us. Now the Pizza sim Ending. On the 5th night we hear Elizabeth, Henry's daughter talking but is interupted by her father. Henry reveals the pizzeria was a decoy, to lure in and capture all the loose ends and finnaly putting a stop to Afton (He never really dies i'll get to that later) . Everyone dies in the fire and the souls are finally put to rest. Onto UCN. In UCN we play as William Afton in purgatory, tormented again and again by his own creations. Thru the game we learn many things, such as that Chica was the 1st child to be killed and stuffed and possibly the first animatronic to be given life by the puppet. We also learn about 'the one you should not have killed'. This is presumably talking about the child that posseses golden freddy but as mentioned earlier, golden freddy could have mulitple souls inside of it. This brings us to fnaf vr: help wanted. The point here is that William Afton's soul is possesing the game becoming Glitchtrap (I will get into some theories about how this could've happened later). Through the game he posseses a game tester named Vannessa or Vanny (Vannessa+Bunny) which will most likeley be the main antagonist in fnaf security breach. William uses Vanny to continue to kill kids, even though his body is still in purgatory. We will probably get more information on her when security breach is released. Now onto how Afton's soul go tinto the game's come and possesed Vannessa. In the fazbear frights book series we read about two children stuck in the stickraith's body. One of the kids is said to be killed by Afton. He tells us how he is keeping him alive, to be forever tormented. In that same story we read about 'the patient in room 1280'. It is about a man in a hospital, burned beond recognition but somehow still alive. That is obviously William Afton. When the boy finnally decides to let Afton die, his last request is to be wheeled into an old, abandon Freddy's location. The hospital staff do so not really knowing why but looking at the state of Will here he is probably insane to some measures. When he is wheeled into the Freddy's location his body literally explodes. Now some parts of his soul go to purgatory/UCN, and other parts posses the computer parts, later to be scanned and reused to create the vr title. That is most likeley how he posseses the game but we can't really know for sure.
My teacher once told me that music is what you like it to be.
Why hate on these when clearly a lot of people like them. If you don't like it, then move on. You like the original one? then listen to it. No one's forcing you to listen to the covers. It's not like you're the target audience for these album anyways.
And btw, these are some of the best cover songs out there
Runaway by Silverstein
Hit Me Baby One More Time and Wrecking Ball by August Burns Red
Tik Tok and Hot N' Cold by Woe Is Me
Smooth by Escape the Fate
Toxic by Static Lullaby
Billie Jean by Breathe Carolina
Rolling in the Deep by Go Radio
Turn Down for What by Upon a Burning Body
Love the Way You Lie by A Skylit Drive
Dude why?
Punk goes acoustic is good
I unapologetically enjoy some of those songs. Lol
the fact that you didnt bring up the cover of Baby I got your money by say anything, which along with Still Fly, was my favourite track on this mess of a comp. Max Bemis is taking the piss the entire time and its all the better for it. Nobody needed more earnest emo boy rapping.
Everything I've heard from these albums make me imagine the people behind High School Musical trying to make punk music.
hot take : rihanna is crunk
TDWP Still Fly 🔥
did you just call the clash hardcore? 😅
No, they meant "hardcore fan" as in devoted (honestly, I don't even know if the writers of this video have even a passing familiarity with hc; I mean, given the choice of words, it sure doesn't sound like they do).
@ForeverGotShorter upon relistening I think you're right phewww lol
It's a guilty pleasure for me lol
This series of compilations is definitely terrible but there are some great punk covers of non-punk songs that exist, one of the best is I Set My Friends On Fire covering Soulja Boy's "Crank Dat"
Proof Blink is the best pop punk band. They only recorded one cover in the studio, Another girl another planet, and it kills
