@@nathanthomson1931 Yeah but Hoppus game nowadays is more along the lines of rich people problems like suing his neighbours over pine trees. He's way beyond paying attention to up and coming artists unfortunately.
Alex, you’re so talented. Thank you for using your abilities to bring such incredible and pure joy to so many people around the world. I had such a goofy grin on my face throughout this.
i'm usually only lurking like most of us RUclipsrs, but this cover was so close to the style of blink 182 i had to make a comment. Keep doing what you're doing! We want more!
Dude, this was too good. You’re getting to a flawless point with these covers. I put my phone down and forgot this wasn’t blink 182. Unbelievably good job!
It is absolutely absurd how well this works. You made some great choices to make it work even better than just A + B. I particularly like lengthening the last syllable of the last line of each verse. It's a small change with a big effect, especially given how staccato Beyonce's version is.
This is amazingly arranged and performed, but also highlights how amazing Blink's sound is that you can basically apply their formula to everything and get a hit out of it.
Me, seeing the title of the video: "🤔 Alriiiight... I'll bite" Me, 30 seconds into the song: "🤯 Fricking heck... I should have known" I'm genuinely starting to believe that there is nothing Alex couldn't translate to Blink-style. It'd be interesting to see him try Blink-styling something like Chop Suey by System of a Down
Awesome seeing your growth on your channel. I remember when you had less than 1K subscribers. Or when you were a lighting manager, doing your videos on their stage. Congrats on all the good things that have came your way and hopefully many more will continue to come! Here's to when you hit 1M subs in a few months :D
You’re killing me smalls. This made me smile and laugh out loud in a good way like nothing else in quite some time. I play a game with a coworker about what if so and so covers some previous pop song in different way… like say, Disturbed covers “What I am” by Eddie Brickell, just because of the weird way she says “don’t cha ya”…this is that to the tee. Excellent work sir!
Yet ANOTHER banger where Alex gets with Alex and Alex to make such a bop of a cover. The energy and volume to the group that Alex brings is incredible! Alex and Alex both compliment each others sound so much. Alex Always kills it on the drums too. Such a perfect sound together!
Alex’s covers are always better than the originals. And I’m not just saying that because I prefer the punk genre. His country covers are top notch. Such creative talent! 🤟🏻
It’s always so fun when you do these different interpretations. It never fails to make me smile and excited, when I see you have a new video - and it always succeeds at brightening my day, after I watch it. You’ve got a special gift, Alex. Also, I showed Tank the Tech (a tour manager/YT content creator, out of Tennessee, for both metal and country bands) your Slipknot “Duality” cover, on stream - and he thought it was HILARIOUS. He was able to pick out the exact song you got the inspiration from (I forgot who he said it was).. People in his stream seemed to enjoy it, quite a bit, also.
Dude, if you did this yourself this is amazing. You took a song I've hated for years and turned it into a legit earworm I can't get out of my head. That opening bass progression is classic Blink pop melody. Well done.
I found your channel recently and i love what your doing, my best friend from school used to create his own music recording himself playing each instrument and singing the same as you do and its a real talent to be able to do this. Takes me back to great memories, Keep it up
holy fuck this is one of the best ones.. insane rendition Alex. and amazing choice. I swear to god when the breakdown ends at 2:50, i thought you were gonna slip the riff from Obvious and revert back to the song. would have been crazy !!
I've listened to all of your Blink covers, and this one is probably the coolest one I've seen so far. I could totally see them playing this song on a Punk Goes... album
1) I hope that is how you really pick your song choices! 2) You're an under rated talent and I hope you blow up soon because you deserve it 3) Keep on, keeping on. I'm an author and your take on songs provides so much inspiration for me.
I love this cover! I think you captured their signature sound and put your own fun spin on it, too. Well done! I need to add this to my playlist. Lol. It would be epic for the guys to play this with you and be in the video. They need to hear this. Can someone get on that, please? Lol Ahhhh, I love this!
I really don’t understand how you top every single cover you do. This has to be the best you’ve ever done. See you on the next one to say the same thing. Good shit bro.
Just found you. Amazing! I'm not a Blink Fan, nor Beehiver per se, but I liked this version, and the sense of humor is fantastic. I might just be an AM fan.
Petition for Blink-182 to add this to their setlist 🤘🏼 Incredible job!
Cobus you the man!
Do I sense a colab coming soon?
They’d butcher it, surely. 😅
I'll second that! haha
please make more videos please ☺️
I appreciate the classic Blink "na na na"s in place of Beyoncé's "oh oh oh"s.
We need an AVA version with the yoh-oh-oooh instead of the na-nas!
I'm 100% using this song for the bouquet toss at my wedding in two weeks
How'd it go??
@@leahtv7778poorly. flowers stuck in rafters.
@@leahtv7778 People loved it!
Holy shit those 'na na na' parts fit so seamlessly. Great work my friend!
indeed. the na na na is everything
I'd bet money a joke about the na na na part was what started this song for Alex.
that's exactly what i was thinking and I just rolled to the comments section to check if someone had the same thought
Na na na fits into everything I swear 😂😂
It fits all blink 182 style covers perfectly especially if Tom sings it
This is the cover I never knew I wanted SO BAD
Avril needs to cover this version
I’ve been waiting for this one. Mans a legend.
Right?!
Alex out here keeping Pop Goes Punk alive all by himself.
I appreciate what you do, these are great interpretations
There's also Todd Barriage!
@@halfaworldawayAnd Machine Gun Kelly 😂
Matt Cutshawll
If Blink don't invite you to start performing this with them at shows, then they are absolutely nuts!
Why would Blink invite someone who does Blink better than Blink to open for them?
They couldn't care less about some random guy trying to copy them on RUclips LOL
@snoboredca I said "perform with", not perform before. I think it would be amazing to see a live collab
@@ethanwillis6970 because game gotta recognize game 🤷
@@nathanthomson1931 Yeah but Hoppus game nowadays is more along the lines of rich people problems like suing his neighbours over pine trees. He's way beyond paying attention to up and coming artists unfortunately.
I swear, every "If Blink 182 Wrote" video you do is a masterpiece. Keep up the amazing work! ❤
It gives us more blink that will never be again
Thank you for this Alex. It’s perfect.
Songs I don’t like turned into songs I love. Dude does great stuff
was about to say the same thing lol. he did many songs already that i don't overly enjoy but these covers make them so much cooler
well i guess this means you DO like the song, you don't like the production of beyonce
the song itself was good all along
Fair point and spot on!
He can't improve on the music video though!
Well, I absolutely loved the original, and loved this one too.
It's crazy that you could throw this in any one of their albums and not notice. Amazing work!
1:34 love that the second verse drum beat is different from the first like Travis always do
Sometimes I think Alex can Blink better than Blink can Blink. This was awesome!
I was just thinking, "Damn, I might prefer to see him touring with them over Tom right now 😬😅😂"
1:13 The na na na part scratches my brain in a very specific way that I can’t explain
WHEN WILL IT BE ON SPOTIFY?! I am in love with this cover and need it on repeat
Alex, you’re so talented. Thank you for using your abilities to bring such incredible and pure joy to so many people around the world. I had such a goofy grin on my face throughout this.
Me too
Right?? Lol, made me so happy.
babe wake up Alex is about to take over the internet with this one
👊🏻💯
Thanks for doing a complete song and not just one verse and chorus like so many other channels. This was absolutely banger!
This is fantastic - one of those ‘really shouldn’t work, but you nailed it’ ones.
Might be some of your best drumming on this one as well 😮
i'm usually only lurking like most of us RUclipsrs, but this cover was so close to the style of blink 182 i had to make a comment. Keep doing what you're doing! We want more!
Have you heard his Blink style cover of One Week by Barenaked Ladies? That's a banger, too.
Dude, this was too good. You’re getting to a flawless point with these covers. I put my phone down and forgot this wasn’t blink 182. Unbelievably good job!
I would have never imagined that song played as Blink 182. You're on another level dude, this was so great.
So good!
It is absolutely absurd how well this works. You made some great choices to make it work even better than just A + B. I particularly like lengthening the last syllable of the last line of each verse. It's a small change with a big effect, especially given how staccato Beyonce's version is.
This is amazingly arranged and performed, but also highlights how amazing Blink's sound is that you can basically apply their formula to everything and get a hit out of it.
That was fun. The intro sounded like it could have been a pop punk version of Fast Car too.
These covers single handedly put me back onto listening to blink 182 in the modern day, actually incredible stuff
Me, seeing the title of the video: "🤔 Alriiiight... I'll bite"
Me, 30 seconds into the song: "🤯 Fricking heck... I should have known"
I'm genuinely starting to believe that there is nothing Alex couldn't translate to Blink-style. It'd be interesting to see him try Blink-styling something like Chop Suey by System of a Down
This is the best Blink 182 rewrap in a while. Works incredibly well. Kind of wish they'd actually perform this...
First vid of yours I have seen, and… I am impressed! Great work, dude! 👏 👏
He’s got so manny good ones, check out if linkin park wrote be humble
Dude, I've known for years now -- you're brilliant. I wouldn't mind your Blink take on everything. Seriously.
Life has been awful recently. Your music is bringing me so much joy. Thankyou.
The drums go crazy man!!!
So talented
2:51 this breakdown and fill 🤌
This man bleeds pop punk. This has got to win the award for the best reinterpreted pop punk cover. This smokes any Punk Goes Pop cover
Great video! And it's also cool to finally see how you come up with what songs to do.
Alex was really good here, but Alex really showed up! What an amazing job!
I don’t know, I personally thought Alex was the strongest in the group.
frankly, I prefer Alex, but that’s just me. to each his own
Half take off your pants and Jacket and half pink alblum. Always love your blink inspired covers, keep it up man.
As a massive fan of both pop punk and song covers, Alex you may be my all time favorite RUclips channel.
Absolutely nails the TOYPAJ era. Such a talented and creative player dude!
What a twist ending, my mind was blown 😂
Seriously though, amazing cover. This is one very underrated youtube channel, all of your songs are 🔥
Brother, I can't help but smile every time you drop a new one. You're obviously having so much fun, and I dig it.
The “nah nah nah”s at the chorus sent me 😂😂😂 absolute perfection
This man is single(ha)-handedly keeping the Punk Goes Pop tradition alive.
I never thought this song could ever be good.
Your covers are class!! 😝
Awesome seeing your growth on your channel. I remember when you had less than 1K subscribers. Or when you were a lighting manager, doing your videos on their stage. Congrats on all the good things that have came your way and hopefully many more will continue to come! Here's to when you hit 1M subs in a few months :D
Totally could hear this in 1998...Amazing work!
You’re killing me smalls. This made me smile and laugh out loud in a good way like nothing else in quite some time.

Alex is becoming too powerful
Yet ANOTHER banger where Alex gets with Alex and Alex to make such a bop of a cover. The energy and volume to the group that Alex brings is incredible! Alex and Alex both compliment each others sound so much. Alex Always kills it on the drums too. Such a perfect sound together!
Not the cover I expected but somehow it just works 😂😂😂 🔥
It’s the nah nah nah
Just... Just GOOD CHIRST this is all so great but then - the jump at 2:25 stole my entire heart, forever. I guess you get to just have that now.
Alex’s covers are always better than the originals. And I’m not just saying that because I prefer the punk genre. His country covers are top notch. Such creative talent! 🤟🏻
Wooooow! This is one of the best for sure. The nanana section works so well. Amazing stuff as usual.
Incredible. Pretty much every single great pop song ever can be better as a Blink-182/Alex Melton mash-up. 🤘
Instant classic!
dude you just turned a song I hated into a song I absolutely love. Such talent bro keep it up, u got a new musician fan
Like the rest of your videos, this is so good!!🤘🏾That's how you can tell these are good songs--you can switch up the genres and they're still bangers!
First time I've ever enjoyed listening to this song, wicked stuff dude 🤘💍
It’s always so fun when you do these different interpretations. It never fails to make me smile and excited, when I see you have a new video - and it always succeeds at brightening my day, after I watch it.

Someone didn't watch until the end.
@@hfuhruhurr ah shit
holy fuck this is one of the best ones.. insane rendition Alex. and amazing choice. I swear to god when the breakdown ends at 2:50, i thought you were gonna slip the riff from Obvious and revert back to the song. would have been crazy !!
Fastest I've ever clicked a video notification. This cover turned a very mediocre song into a straight banger!
Unexpectedly one of the best covers Alex has done. That riff is top-tier terrific.
The orange bowl was 20 slips of paper, but all of them had "As Blink-182"
I've listened to all of your Blink covers, and this one is probably the coolest one I've seen so far. I could totally see them playing this song on a Punk Goes... album
This is BRILLIANT!!
This made me so nostalgic… to do that with a song that wasn’t actually in the original experience I’d mind-boggling. So well done!
I really love these ‘as blink’ covers Alex. I’m SO here for this awesomeness 🔥
I love how happy you are when playing drums. It's pure distilled joy.
Your drumming has come so far! Dope af my guy.
Been watching/listening for a long time and this was easily one of your best covers!
I had no idea this was going to be so perfect
All your covers are SUPERB but this absolutely takes the cake!
It's like getting brand new Blink songs! 🥰
You’re beyond talented. Incredible job. That intro is straight 🔥
always love your Blink 182 styled covers. please making more of these
im blown away by everything you put out, you encapsulate the feel of blink so well. amazing stuff man
Holy shit, this is amazing!!
Loving this studio version, but would really like to see you tackle the music video ;)
Having Blink 182 do a Chevelle song or vice-versa would be much appreciated!
This 😮
Just added into my "Best List". Never imagined that this could work this well!
Live long and prosper, Alex!
I really enjoy your stuff!
1) I hope that is how you really pick your song choices! 2) You're an under rated talent and I hope you blow up soon because you deserve it 3) Keep on, keeping on. I'm an author and your take on songs provides so much inspiration for me.
This song fits their phrasing so well and he def has their style down so well.
You cured anything depressing in my life I wish I found you sooner. I’m a huge Blink 182 Fan and all your covers are amazing!!
I love this cover! I think you captured their signature sound and put your own fun spin on it, too. Well done! I need to add this to my playlist. Lol. It would be epic for the guys to play this with you and be in the video. They need to hear this. Can someone get on that, please? Lol Ahhhh, I love this!
This is crazy accurate. That outro with the Mark/Tom vocals was spot on
I really don’t understand how you top every single cover you do. This has to be the best you’ve ever done.
See you on the next one to say the same thing. Good shit bro.
That actually meshed extremely well lol amazing work bro
One of your best and most transformative covers! Well done!
Honestly Bro! You bring so much joy with these!
My heart is aglow with a thousand tiny nostalgic squeeeeeeeeeees. I love it. Well done.
Daaammmn this was a banger. Can’t belive this dude exsist, turn any sheet song into fire. Well done Alex!!! Greets from Brazil!
This just popped up on my time line.
Massive respect dude! Great job
I'm not sure why Blink hasn't added you as an opener, for a few shows, on the current tour.
HOW do you knock it out the park every single time!?
Just found you. Amazing! I'm not a Blink Fan, nor Beehiver per se, but I liked this version, and the sense of humor is fantastic. I might just be an AM fan.
This is killer! One of these days you need to do a tone/ gear breakdown video!
