the formula for a good pop punk cover: speed the song up 20-30% make the drums just barely too complex have a nasally voice half time the last chorus now you’ll be unstoppable 💙
@@toddbarriage I almost spit my drink reading this A. because it's 100% true B. Because you adapt it so effortlessly* and nail it every time (*- I use that term, it's the sound you create is so relaxed. The strain isn't heard. It's effortlessly accepted. Not that there's 'no effort' put into it**. You've got the ear for what you want to hear, and the tallent to make it happen. A wonderful combination)
I sang it like 20 times and layered it together to sound like a group of people, and played those notes on the guitar too for extra reinforcement. I don’t think there are any harmony-harmonies? But for sure a lower octave!
Stumbled across your Master of Puppets cover in my recommended and just binged liked 6 of your videos. Just wanted to say I’m loving these alternate genre covers of songs, and I also really dig your medley covers. Glad I found this channel, I’ll be sure to stick around
Dude I'm not going to lie this somehow just popped up on my Google feed and it looked ridiculous so I clicked it and here I am almost an hour later still listening to the song.... It's definitely got me high on nostalgia and takes me to a simpler place in time. Thanks so much for this you have a lifetime subscriber now
Man, you friggin rock 💙 thanks for giving this/me a chance! This song defined my last childhood summer without internet, I 100% get what you mean about it taking you to a simpler time!
@@toddbarriage dude I'm sorry your day was shit but keep doin what you're doing cause tomorrow is gonna be lit to shit when I share this channel with all my friends. I absolutely fucking love it. It feels good to know people remember and love this music. It's so perfect.
I can’t get over how great this song is! It’s on my game playlist, so I hear it like a hundred times a day. But, every single time it starts up, I get just as stoked as the first time I heard it! It just pumps ya up something fierce! Lol
My first response was "wait, isnt this what the song actually sounds like? but less drums?" I think that speaks volumes to how amazingly you pulled this off
Man, thank you as always!! I say this a lot but I do really appreciate you checking out each new video I throw up 💙 real stoked you liked this one, I hope you’re having an awesome week so far!
i thought this said “magic wang” and i was so thrilled to discover a new phrase - but i guess now we’ve both discovered it, together! for real though, thank you so much for that. Idk if i’ll ever sing a note that high that clean again lmao but i’m stoked that when i did, it was for this song!
I've listened to the 1999 Pop Punk remix so many times now that it was jarring af to not hear Summer Girls come in swinging after the first chorus (also a full pop punk Summer Girls would be sick, don't care for the original but your version slaps)
Honestly that’s the hardest part about doing these full covers, is I can’t get the medley arrangement out of my head hahaha. I wanna do Summer Girls, just waiting for the inspiration fairy to put the rest of the song in my head 💙💃🏻
Hi Todd! Maybe you get a few of these from time to time but just wanted to let you know that this particular cover really saved me from very hard and dark days last year 'cause of a really abusive relationship, now after 1 year and 1 month i find myself in a really good position at work and at my life in general and i'm so thankful to you man, you really brought out part of the light i needed in those moments. I really wish you get everything you wish for in this life. Best Regards dude.
I’m so proud of you for making it out of that situation, & stoked as hell that you’re doing great now 💙 thank you for making it through the darkness and for being here today. Life can be cruel and chaotic, but sooner or later there’s gotta be something worth sticking around for and it means more than I can express that I could help you get to the other side of a terrible time, in any way at all
@@toddbarriageThank you dude for taking the time to read and reply, it really means a lot! Please keep being this awesome and sharing your talent with the world, for me it was really healing and for others i know it's the same. I really wish you all the best my man, keep rocking out! 😄
Man, that means a lot to me, thank you! The FYS cover is a classic, I had to try very hard not to rip their cover off just because it’s so *correct* how they did it hahaha 💙
Hot damn. Stumbled upon you randomly and now binging your songs and sharing them with all my fellow elder emos. We have the same range and I’m having a blast singing along!
Todd! I was waiting for this to go on Spotify. When I checked today (january 4), finally it's OUT! You are the man! Thank you for the good music and the good vibes.
God damn are you working it. I love it. I hope the algorithm hits right for you soon enough. Not too soon, I need more "indie" Todd, but still I hope it comes. You deserve it.
Heyyyy thank you so much!! I can’t imagine “indie” Todd would stop being a thing, I’m already going full send. It’ll be rad to see how big this party can get though, I really appreciate you showing up early 💙
@@toddbarriage, coming from you, that hits, man! I just call it like I see it. From what I see, you’re the LEGEND!!! You are a master of your craft to say the least. Keep being awesome, man! 💚
Knocked this one out of the park, preferable to the original in my opinion. This one plays a bit more to my sound preference. Also, I lost it with the Guy Fieri reference in the CC lol.
@@toddbarriage, I’m much better now lol! I always appreciate a response from the one and only (insert drumroll here) TODD BARRIAGE!!! 😁 Let’s just say that “She’s So High” was like my first “guilty pleasure” song! Can’t hear it and not sing along 😄
Great cover! Not a pop punk band but... If the Silversun Pickups wrote TNT or Highway to Hell by ACDC. It would make a great cover. Just an idea. Keep up the great work!
Neural DSP Fortin Cali Suite it’s got 3 amps, it’s the middle one Modelled after a Marshall Plexi All knobs 4 All switches left FRESH guitar strings, 10-46 (it matters) Choke the palm mutes so tight that it barely makes the note All downstrokes baybeeeee
Man when you do covers like this, they're so good I sometimes can't remember what the original sounds like lol. Pop punk just works so well with the songs you choose and you do such an insane job every time it's like they should have been pop punk from the start 🤘Rock on man, it's a blast as always
That means a lot man, thank you 💙 I’ll keep going until all my favourite songs have been converted to pop punk haha, it’s so much fun! I hope you’re having an awesome week!
WHAT DO YOU WANNA SEE NEXT??
edit: u can stream this now xoxo - ffm.to/shessohigh
Punk up that Snoop Dee Oh Double Gee and some "Gin & Juice"!
I still need a cover of Be A Man, Todd!
@@IbbyConCarne I DO TOO!!!
@@jonkerrmusic yep this is a fantastic idea
Epic rap battles of history but it’s
Pop punk
This is proof, this song was always a pop punk song in disguise. Great work as always Todd!
YOU CAN’T HIDE FROM US FOREVER, TAL BACHMAN! 🛹💙
I mean, isn't this song just Teenage Dirtbag with fewer Iron Maiden references?
Why does this work so well? You have a certain magic when you touch songs, Todd. Keep the vibes going, you both did amazingly!
the formula for a good pop punk cover:
speed the song up 20-30%
make the drums just barely too complex
have a nasally voice
half time the last chorus
now you’ll be unstoppable 💙
@@toddbarriage We love complex drums in this house. 🙏
@@toddbarriage I almost spit my drink reading this
A. because it's 100% true
B. Because you adapt it so effortlessly* and nail it every time

I randomly clicked on Chop Suey, then Break Stuff, now this... well-earned subscribe. Looking forward to what's next.
I got chills on the last "Aphrodite"!!! Well freaking done, you two!! Epic
hey, thank you so much!!! i just had to send that last chorus to the moon, there was no other way hahaha
@@toddbarriage I wanna say I felt exactly the same way. That was perfect full send!
@@Nathan_Lundstrom thanks Nathan!!!
Why did it take me so long to find this gem?!
Me and my daughter are headbanging to your covers Todd! Amazing job!
Oh man, thanks Jonas!! Glad you and your daughter enjoy my stuff!
Dude, this is one of my most nostalgic songs, and you absolutely killed it with this cover (compliment)

New Todd day is always the best day. Thank you Todd! And thank you Kim Wexler!!
I do love a good Monday now and then 💙💙 Blessed Kim has given us a gift!
I love how that show fits so perfectly into this video
its like this song was always meant to be pop punk we just didn't know it till now
It absolutely was, the Four Year Strong version goes hard too!
one of my favorite songs
same!
So beautiful of a cover. One of my favorite songs from around this period. May you and your family be blessed, Todd.
Maaaan, thank you so much!! This is one of my favourites too, it defined that whole summer for me. I hope you're having an excellent week!!
I always love your songs. I missed this one until now. Keep them
Coming. ❤
OMG! What's going on with the "high" note? Are you layering the triad in harmony on vocals? It sounds INCREDIBLE! way better than the OG!
I sang it like 20 times and layered it together to sound like a group of people, and played those notes on the guitar too for extra reinforcement. I don’t think there are any harmony-harmonies? But for sure a lower octave!
Absolutely worth the wait
this warms my entire heart, thank you 💙
Took me until the chorus to figure out why the lyrics were different from the Blur version. Great cover still!
lmao yeah they’re VERY different songs! i’m stoked you enjoyed yourself even though it wasn’t the song you thought it was 💙
Stumbled across your Master of Puppets cover in my recommended and just binged liked 6 of your videos. Just wanted to say I’m loving these alternate genre covers of songs, and I also really dig your medley covers. Glad I found this channel, I’ll be sure to stick around

THIS ONE ABSOLUTELY BANGED, TODD, I'M GETTING HIGH ON THIS COVER
WOULD YOU SAY YOU IDENTIFY MORE AS: Cleo, Joan, or Aphro?

Keep up the great work, your music brings some light to this dark s grey world☺️
Greetings from Ukraine 🙂
Hey, thank you so much for enjoying my sounds!! I’m happy I can brighten your days a bit 💙 love from Canada
This is proof that #1 this dude is a freaking virtuoso, and 2 that pop punk is the best form of music
I've watched 4 videos and come to the conclusion that this is the best fucking channel on RUclips right cheeeeeeeeeere
man, real talk, i’ve been having a garbage-ass day and you single-handedly flipped that around for me just now thank u 🎉
@@toddbarriage dude I'm sorry your day was shit but keep doin what you're doing cause tomorrow is gonna be lit to shit when I share this channel with all my friends. I absolutely fucking love it.
It feels good to know people remember and love this music.
It's so perfect.
Holy fuck I just found this! It's audible dopamine...
Kala’s voice turns every song into literal crack 🖤
I can’t get over how great this song is! It’s on my game playlist, so I hear it like a hundred times a day. But, every single time it starts up, I get just as stoked as the first time I heard it! It just pumps ya up something fierce! Lol
that blink-182 Always drum intro with the strings is a guaranteed win, I definitely cheated by merging those two songs lmao 💙
@@toddbarriage, that wasn’t “cheating” it was GENIUS! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I heard this song for the first time in years just last week, and then you do a cover of it. Strange how the world works sometimes
we are one 👽
My first response was "wait, isnt this what the song actually sounds like? but less drums?" I think that speaks volumes to how amazingly you pulled this off
oh wow, thanks!! haha that's usually the goal with these covers 💙
Another banger! Keep em coming, my spotify playlist needs more Todd.
Yoooo thanks Kyle!! I’ve got lots more comin’, I’m feeling feisty 💙🛹
Having Better Call Saul on the tv in the background is a nice attention to detail. Great song and performance
Kim Wexler is the greatest of all time 💙 glad you enjoyed our cover, thank you!
Never disappointed when clicking on one of your videos. Still same feel of the original song, yet better.. as always. My beanies off to you.
Man, thank you as always!! I say this a lot but I do really appreciate you checking out each new video I throw up 💙 real stoked you liked this one, I hope you’re having an awesome week so far!
You knocked it out of the park with this one! Glad to see you and Kala teaming up again, keep it up 🤙🏻
Hey, thanks man! I love making music with Kala, I’d do it as frequently as our schedules will allow hahaha
Honestly the way you hit the last aphrodite is total magic mang!!!!!
i thought this said “magic wang” and i was so thrilled to discover a new phrase - but i guess now we’ve both discovered it, together!
for real though, thank you so much for that. Idk if i’ll ever sing a note that high that clean again lmao but i’m stoked that when i did, it was for this song!
This song put women above me in 1998. Now Todd has put pop punk above me in 2022.
like sum 41, blink 182, green daaaaayyyeeeeee dududu 🎶
I've listened to the 1999 Pop Punk remix so many times now that it was jarring af to not hear Summer Girls come in swinging after the first chorus (also a full pop punk Summer Girls would be sick, don't care for the original but your version slaps)

Zebrahead - Wannabe. Been one of my guilty pleasures for 20 years.
Todd : I just discovered you. You are killing it!
A song so nice I just played it twice. Adding to work playlist for sure
Hey, thanks for doing that! I’m so happy you like it :)
@@toddbarriage well, I guess thanks for the ear worm, because I'm at 10+ times playing this today between my account and my wife's.
That note at @2:47 hits hard! Nice work!
Yooooo thanks!! I try not to sing that high all the time, “just because I can doesn’t mean I should” kinda deal, but it felt nice to land that one 🥲💙
Hi Todd!
Maybe you get a few of these from time to time but just wanted to let you know that this particular cover really saved me from very hard and dark days last year 'cause of a really abusive relationship, now after 1 year and 1 month i find myself in a really good position at work and at my life in general and i'm so thankful to you man, you really brought out part of the light i needed in those moments.

Life can be cruel and chaotic, but sooner or later there’s gotta be something worth sticking around for and it means more than I can express that I could help you get to the other side of a terrible time, in any way at all
@@toddbarriageThank you dude for taking the time to read and reply, it really means a lot!
Please keep being this awesome and sharing your talent with the world, for me it was really healing and for others i know it's the same.
I really wish you all the best my man, keep rocking out! 😄
I'm not sure how to explain it but this feels like THE pop punk song.
Always loved this song .. now even more . You guys lit me up . Brava .
man, 💙 i friggin appreciate you so much. thank you
I already knew what it would sound like in pop punk from listening to the Four Year Strong version. It's pretty good.
They’re very different arrangements but thanks for checking mine out!
I hold the FYS cover of this song in very high regard and my guy, this is right up there if not better than it.
Man, that means a lot to me, thank you! The FYS cover is a classic, I had to try very hard not to rip their cover off just because it’s so *correct* how they did it hahaha 💙
What an amazing cover, well done, Todd and Kala!
DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH I HOPE YOU HAVE THE BEST DAY
i never have captions on, but for some reason they were on when i started watching the video. "guy fieri, oh so hairy"😂
hahaha I’ve always got secrets hiding in my subs, I’d recommend them if you like to giggle!
Hot damn. Stumbled upon you randomly and now binging your songs and sharing them with all my fellow elder emos. We have the same range and I’m having a blast singing along!
Nice duet. Your voices work well together.
Thank you so dang much 💙 Kala's my favourite singer so this is some v-potent compliment material haha
@@toddbarriage couldnt agree more, the layering was great
Man your pop punk covers slap! ❤️
Thanks!! It feels like a cheat code having Kala on a track but he’s just such a delight lmao
There's a four year strong cover of this song which is also fantastic
it's SO good, it was fun trying not to rip them off lmao
The FYS cover of this is so great!!! And so is yours!!!
FYS goes so hard, it was tricky to cover this without ripping them off but i think we figured it out!
Definitely up there with the FYS cover 🤙🏼🤙🏼
we did our best 🥹🥹thank you!
@@toddbarriage it shows! You’ve inspired my buddy and I to work some renditions of This Kiss and I Try
Top! More pop-punk please! 🔥🤘
only pop punk all the time always 💙
That'sa muh Toddboi! Crushing it, my friend
PARKER U HANDSOME DEVIL
Your two vocal ranges are insane! Out of interest, who can sing higher and who can sing the lowest?
Thanks man!! We have the exact same vocal range, i just sound sadder all the time lmao
Who is the second singer? I'm not entirely convinced it's not Todd with an undercut and his curls in the hat. [New to the channel]
Todd! I was waiting for this to go on Spotify. When I checked today (january 4), finally it's OUT! You are the man! Thank you for the good music and the good vibes.
AYYYY i forgot to add the streaming link to this video lmao thank you for reminding me! i'm so happy you enjoyed this!
@@toddbarriageHaha! When you do good things, it attracts good people! We got your back. ;)
Another fantastic song. Nicely done. Thank you.
I freakin love you man, thank you!
HOLY F! That was BADASS. Good job!🤘😝
Yo, thank you!!!
You have this uncanny knack for making songs I can't stand VERY tolerable. 👏Bravo.
Thank you so much, again & as always, for giving my videos a chance even when you hate the song I’m doing lmao 💙 it means a lot
@@toddbarriage I'm saying man, it's like a superpower. Making shit songs acceptable, good and even great.
LOVE THIS SONG!!!
Duuuuude, this friggin' RULES
YOOOO Mitch, thank you so much!! I hope you’ve been doing great 💙
Did I just get teleported back to 2002. Holy crap this sounds like it would of instantly been a billboard top 10 in the Early 2000s
hey, thank you so dang much! the original song was charting in '99, so this theoretical scenario checks out haha
Dude this is so good, I bloody love it!
ahhhh thank you! I'm so glad! 💙
What a jam to start the day off with. Great stuff, Todd!
YOOOO THANK YOU
Another fun video, I don't think I ever heard the original but I don't think it would match up with this, great work again!
Thank you so dang much 💙 the original is basically this but slower and less intense, but it’s a summer ‘99 classic (at least it Canada lmao)
I used to hate this song till now. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
mission complete 🥲
God damn are you working it. I love it. I hope the algorithm hits right for you soon enough. Not too soon, I need more "indie" Todd, but still I hope it comes. You deserve it.
Heyyyy thank you so much!! I can’t imagine “indie” Todd would stop being a thing, I’m already going full send. It’ll be rad to see how big this party can get though, I really appreciate you showing up early 💙
Always love your covers. Brighten my day.
💙💙 I'm so happy these can bring you some joy!! Thank you as always for checkin' this out
Todd, you never miss 👏 another banger as always
thank you thank you thank you 💙 whenever i feel a miss coming, i just take the week off lmao. can’t get stuck in a rut if it never starts!!
Love the Guy Fieri gag hidden in the captions.
Okay four years strong. Turn up
their version is so so so good, it was fun seeing if we could cover this song differently while staying punk 💙
@@toddbarriage You killed it love
I love both your voices.
No way! Awesome rendition! 👊🇨🇦
Congratulations, this one made my playlist just now. So good!
oh man, thanks Tom!!
FRIGGIN RIGHT
This is a perfect cover of a perfect song ♥️ thanks for doing this one
Thanks for making the time to watchlistenhearsee 💙💙
Some of your best drumming to date Todd!
PAbubaduPAbubaduPA that's how i write drum fills, with my mouth lmao
thanks!!
The first time i heard this, it immediately jumped into my top 10 favorite songs EVER! 💚
BRAD YOU DAMN LEGEND thank you! 💙
@@toddbarriage, coming from you, that hits, man! I just call it like I see it. From what I see, you’re the LEGEND!!! You are a master of your craft to say the least. Keep being awesome, man! 💚
Well done. And I’m a 62 year old Grandma.
Hard to do a punk cover of this song and not rip off FYS. Great job, this felt fresh!
i had one mission, and it was exactly this 💙 thanks ivan!!
This was great!
Live - Lightening Crashes would be a great pop punk song
Hey, thank you!! I’ll add that song to my list of songs-to-tinker-with, I really appreciate the suggestion :)
We love Kim Wexler and Jimmy
🥲 imagine a love so pure it destroys the world around you
I'm really like your sense of humor Todd 😂😂
haha, thanks Raven! hope you're having a great week!
I knew I loved this song for a reason.
Knocked this one out of the park, preferable to the original in my opinion. This one plays a bit more to my sound preference. Also, I lost it with the Guy Fieri reference in the CC lol.
lmao thanks!! the Guy Fieri one was my best friend Josh, when i told him i was covering this song he replied simply with that line
I haven't words for this
God damn impressive…. Way better then the OG… love you man!
THANK YOU JENN 💙💙💙💙💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
I'm baaaack! 😆
Love this song!!!
HEY HOW’RE YOU DOIN???
i do too tbh!! She’s So High is timeless
@@toddbarriage, I’m much better now lol! I always appreciate a response from the one and only (insert drumroll here) TODD BARRIAGE!!! 😁
Let’s just say that “She’s So High” was like my first “guilty pleasure” song! Can’t hear it and not sing along 😄
This took me straight to flavortown 🔥🔥🔥
💙💙💙 one-way trip!
She's so high high above me up in those clouds doing the laundry that you supposed to be doing 💙💙💙
some behind the scenes stuff means this won't be posted anywhere for a while but as soon as i can, i'll fold those socks!
Great cover! Not a pop punk band but... If the Silversun Pickups wrote TNT or Highway to Hell by ACDC.
It would make a great cover. Just an idea. Keep up the great work!
what In the world is your guitar tone or amp it’s modeled after. It’s the perfect mix of clean distortion with really punchy palm muted
Neural DSP Fortin Cali Suite
it’s got 3 amps, it’s the middle one
Modelled after a Marshall Plexi
All knobs 4
All switches left
FRESH guitar strings, 10-46 (it matters)
Choke the palm mutes so tight that it barely makes the note
All downstrokes baybeeeee
expectations were exceeded well done
that means a ton, it’s a 10/10 song that already has a 10/10 punk cover out there 💙🥹 thank you!
It's very catchy!
Tal Bachman knows how to write a good chorus!!
Dude, you are so fuckin talented. Keep it up!
man, thank you! i'll keep it coming as long as i can!
Classic song made even better!
wow, thank you!!! i freakin LOVE the original, that means a lot
Man when you do covers like this, they're so good I sometimes can't remember what the original sounds like lol. Pop punk just works so well with the songs you choose and you do such an insane job every time it's like they should have been pop punk from the start 🤘Rock on man, it's a blast as always
That means a lot man, thank you 💙 I’ll keep going until all my favourite songs have been converted to pop punk haha, it’s so much fun! I hope you’re having an awesome week!
Yo this is dope! Always loved this song, love it better as a Pop Punk jam! well done!
man, thank you!!! i was shocked at how easily I was able to cram in Always hahaha
