When The Carolers Are Really Into Pop Punk

[@nathanthomson1931]

The Meltones!

[@USMC-lr8th]

Perfect!

[@ekdar123]

The "fa la la" during All the Small Things was a beautifully subtle touch

[@inspectorvoid]

“Silent Noight”

[@MiskonceptioN]

It's funny this was uploaded the same day as Tommy Johansson's Christmas version of All The Small Things, which features basically the same idea :)

[@Wico90YT]

I wonder if know that conversion worked inspired the whole idea

[@joshuas1834]

That part caught me by surprise and made me laugh out loud.

[@Krabnut]

You read my mind

[@davidma22]

Holy shit I need a whole damn album of this. The harmonies are amazing dude.

[@Kyle-hn9vt]

I adore a capella; so agreed. I'd love an album of this!

[@C.T.Productions]

I was hoping for the best boxing to match the pitch perfect vibes lol

[@ArthurRC]

Totally agree 👍🏻 we need a full version of each ❤

[@EliGassert]

Can confirm. Would buy!

[@MWmota]

He harmonized with himself 😂 I love it!

[@TheMaxRebo]

gotta admit this was reverse of what I was expecting - I thought it would be traditional carols but done in a pop punk style. Well done!

[@TheRuddster95]

Same lol 😂

[@firefirefire4815]

Good video idea though!

[@khills]

Hah, me as well.

[@faigler]

that would make a hella double album though

[@carltonunited]

0:00 - The Middle 1:52 - My friends over you 2:38 - You're so last summer 3:42 - All the small things 6:41 - Alex the seal (squirrel)

[@robertmaggs8435]

Discussion question: “Are the carolers into pop punk”, or “Are the pop punkers into caroling” (and does it make a difference on how awesome this vid was)?

[@Home-u6g]

Absolutely zero discussion

[@pizzzaeater1425]

​@@Home-u6gi suppose the lack of discussion answers the question of whether it makes a difference

[@sjenny5891]

Makes a difference. There is a personality you can feel from certain singers. Look at the" big three" Acapella groups. Each has their own specific strengths. Dan Vasc can sing anything, but really opens up when it's metal.

[@Home-u6g]

@@sjenny5891 yes it does I just mean he posted a discussion question and no one replied lol

[@MrNoipe]

imagining these people showing up to my house and calling me a liar is hilarious

[@ck9618]

I mean, if you are bad news...

[@ItsCrawdaddy]

As a former choir kid all through school, this one just hits different. Perfectly captured how damn repetitive the low bass parts always are. Bravo, good sir. Bravo.

[@messibessi11]

Right? This is essentially how every song sounded when we convinced the director to do a pop song. Like sure it’s technically correct but loses the spirit of the song lol

[@drekky23]

Somehow, this put me in more of a Christmas mood than actual Christmas songs

[@scud]

Definitely need a whole album of these.

[@Yashu1105]

I second this

[@davecgriffith]

Yes, for sure. That would be amazing.

[@TheLoneChemist]

Please, do a full version of My Friends Over You. Those harmonies were majestic.

[@YourFavoriteLibertarian]

Yea, I'm just going to have to add 1 million votes to this comment.

[@OfficialFriendzone]

a crime it was the shortest 😭

[@lvcifer-cloverfield]

+1

[@anonarchist1936]

This is by far the all time greatest acapella christmas themed pop punk medley I have ever heard.

[@0BlueGlasses0]

Very willing to join a pop punk caroling group 🖤🎄🎼

[@animalsnearth]

I think they have an app for that!

[@CBoehm25]

Love how Alexs intrusive thoughts won this round

[@archer4529]

Given how wonderful the harmonies were, I think a Relient K song would make a banger of a carol. I So Hate Consequences, Sahara, or Chap Stick, Chapped Lips, and Things Like Chemistry could all be great. Awesome work, Alex!

[@aguy446]

Relent k doesn't get enough love these days

[@bezozzle]

I have good news for you. Relient K have a Christmas album. It’s called “Let It Snow Baby… Let It Reindeer”

[@melissap5649]

@@bezozzleyesss!! I forgot about that 😂

[@melissap5649]

This 👍 RK was so good at their lyrics and actually understanding them most of the time.

[@ninjaemilee]

A lot of RK songs already have fantastic backing harmonies so I would love to see this.

[@josrodsedre5142]

It’s the endings that get me, when they all humbly lower their heads and not always in sync 😂

[@davidhodgson1011]

"Cute without the E" and "Jude Law and a Summer Abroad" plz for part 2

[@brennanb280]

That harmony from My Friends Over You is like the most crisp sip of eggnog

[@FlyingDutchmenCards]

"Fa la la la" on All the Small Things! Classic! Great covers!

[@FrozenGrapes-y4b]

Finally! I finally get to hear New Found Glory as a barbershop quartet

[@2frelledminds]

When I clicked this link, I was expecting different versions of Christmas songs written and performed by carolers, but I am digging the a capella versions of these songs, on both videos.

[@FTTPRO]

That was tight; There are a bunch of songs that I'd love to hear "Carolized" Swing Swing by The All American Rejects comes to mind, first.

[@CMSnyder80]

I came here for the Punkapella. I stayed for the Punkapella

[@haroldlindley6620]

the best merch for this would be sheet music for choir, cause I would absolutely love to sing this

[@YourFavoriteLibertarian]

"My Friends Over You" was my favorite

[@Major_Casualtie]

Very JibJab-ish, very og youtube. Fun.

[@Rothdrop]

CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY BOYS

[@milesmaxwell09]

Acapella goes punk needs to happen. I want an entire series!!!!

[@hideonagakami75]

10/10 would bring them some figgy pudding

[@Xeno87]

Because of this I listened to the original versions of "My friends over you" and "You're so last summer". Even though these songs are good, I feel like your carol versions are just so, so much better.

[@Ant_TitanUp]

I need this all the small things carol as a ringtone for the holidays.

[@storminmormn6283]

I’d pay for a Punk rock Christmas Carol album like this.

[@ngondoki7290]

I'm literally crying, because Christmas is so hard for me. Thanks for this.

[@jh6495]

Seeing your heads looking down at the music was a cute touch.

[@wriglarzzz]

You need to make this an album

[@jimduyck]

Yeah I can already see how these could morph into barbershop quartet arrangements… 🤔🤣🤘

[@rrppodcast3347]

My 3 year old caught me watching this and was enthralled! This is AWESOME!

[@sazae]

Since it is for Christmas how about the Vandals 'Oi to the World'?

[@nintendave64]

The “Fa la la’s” got me good. Nice touch. Also just amazing well done overall. Loved the TBS selection.

[@astarianaira6968]

I'd love to hear Love Drunk. I can almost hear the harmonic "do-do-do's" in the intro already!

[@riceoa2152]

Please make a full version of my friends over you. That was sick

[@CustodialNinja]

Little know fact: Alex's head on a squirrel body wasn't photoshopped. All the videos where he pretends to have a human body, those are the edited ones.

[@austinhamilton9444]

How high are you haha

[@MisterH37]

"Feeling this" by Blink 182 would sound amazing with a chorus, especially the ending.

[@MisterH37]

HE DID IT!

[@judeawakening]

Genius, Alex - thank you! How about… In Too Deep, Dear Maria Count Me In, Check Yes Juliet, Jamie All Over, Everything Is Alright, crushcrushcrush

[@Ficheguts]

Didn't know I needed that version of all the small things in my life until now.

[@Dizzybee123]

LOVE THIS but neeeeeed an edit with a little sleigh bell jingle in the back for sure

[@darrenrussell6253]

The squirrel at the end hahahah 😂

[@bitsy00005]

My new favorite holiday tradition.

[@BwahBwah]

My new sleep time music. Part 1 and 2 on repeat.

[@kenyonedale3192]

The choral version of the Middle, by Jimmy Eats World just hit me hard in the heart. I cried, and kept crying all day listening to it. The song recontextualized the lyrics, and changed it what just used to be a rando radio pop song. I cried not because I really ever felt like I didn't fit it. I cry because I'm now an adult trying to tell kids the message. The choral hits me hard, because it is my prayer and the message I wish I could give. Growing up is hard, and I wish I could make it easier, and make more sense. I'm going to practice singing the song now. Thanks Alex.

[@joshnite907]

Absolutely stunning, and the Fa La Las made me Ell oh Ell.

[@joegluvers632]

Carolize “something just like this” - Cainsmokers

[@camalo171]

Oh man, those falalala's in All The Small Things were perfect!!

[@ChainsawHeartSlayer]

September is ending as I am enjoying this medley for the first time I do not mishear the lyrics of the middle This life truly is amazing

[@next_rabbit_hole]

I wish I had someone in my life that would actually care about this so I could share it with them.... I guess I'll just listen to it again...

[@BryanSawler]

Definitely bringing me back to those early 2000s KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas days...

[@nintendofan1749]

I now want a full version of "My friends over you" in this genre.

[@thecoopfamily2475]

Ummmm, I'm going to need a full album like this!! Oh, and if you made actual pop punk christmas album....would be on HEAVY repeat by me.

[@UTXTA]

Have a stupid big smile the whole time when I watch this. Thanks Alex.

[@jacobusmartin2894]

if only i can like this more than once

[@RyanHamiltonBaker]

Pulled it up for a quick laugh with the wife before watching our Christmas movie. Then we got hooked and she wanted to keep watching just as much as I did. Love this!

[@paddiecorley1108]

Quite fascinating trying to work out which melody was coming out of which Alex

[@justanormalguy17]

I need a full length album of these! Instant Christmas classic for me. Man Overboard by blink-182 would be a fun one. That intro guitar riff vocalized across the Alexes would be pure gold.

[@kalmahnalyd4615]

Yess! Man Overboard would be fun

[@avondale1718]

Bedroom Talk by The Starting Line would fit well!

[@Larweigan]

I'm putting this on when the family is over for Christmas!

[@gregorylieber8362]

A very Merry Punkmas to us all. God bless us every one!.. with distortion and high BPMs

[@IamNinetyFour]

I JUST found this ... while the christmas tree is being taken down ... feels very complete. Great job :D

[@mine9222]

Somewhere, a college acapella transcriber is taking furious notes :D this is amazing!

[@Eric-g9c5o]

"A Meltotonix Christmas"

[@RatherSmashingPro]

This is what I want from Christmas from now on.

[@BB-dj6ob]

I would love to hear "Dear Maria, Count Me In" by all time low like this. It would be a double entendre because Maria is like the virgin Mary

[@rwg6357]

only if your Catholic though

[@mosttriumphantvideos]

or if your joseph

[@keenananddanielle1574]

New Found Glory seems like a deep pull these days. Love it!

[@markanderson1088]

Next do the reverse: if pop punk bands were really into Christmas music

[@WhatKatieSaid]

YES!!!!

[@christopheryoung9340]

These carolers can come to my house anytime.

[@swenny]

This is going to be on repeat every holiday season from now on.

[@LevMass]

Punkatonix

[@DaymanOurSavior]

The only carolers I would open the door for. For real though, these are amazing and the harmonies are insane.

[@chadcox698]

Outside the carolers start to sing I can't describe the joy they bring 'Cause joy is something they don't bring me

[@themeparksandme]

Man, I really love 4:45 that main melody of the song is represented perfectly in this. It's really hitting me right now.

[@mikekristin7201]

Decorating the non-denominational holiday bush with my family and rocking this in the headphones because my daughter insists on bubble guppies. Dad's can still be punk rock

[@kinos6503]

I know what I'm playing this Christmas day

[@Voxelize]

Bad Religion’s punk Christmas album saved Christmas music for me after working retail during the holidays totally killed it. From then I found out basically all the pop punk bands I love had come out with Christmas music.

[@gfooo6112]

Ooooh. Didn’t know that, but I love the Bad Religion Christmas album. Which other Xmas albums would you specifically recommend?

[@ericf9465]

The Vandals Christmas album

[@Voxelize]

@@ericf9465 “oi to the world” is one of my favorite Christmas songs. Got to see them play it live a couple months ago.

[@hugheja89]

I think you’ve just unlocked a new category of vids. Punk goes acapella!

[@ProfCadorette]

Full songs! Please!

[@jameshastings765]

this just blew my entire mind

[@ImTheOwens]

I think Chicago is so two years ago would sound FESTIVE AF.

[@Annoying.tarot.club1039]

I want the you're so last summer carol on Spotify so I play it on repeat Christmas day

[@lostpunkrock]

ALEX THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN WE NEED A CHRISTMAS ALMBUM OF THIS PLEASSEEEEEEEE.

[@camk8038]

COHEED AND CAMBRIA!!!! Good eye, sniper !

[@adampindell]

Alex carries this whole group! Alex and alex get Way Too Much credit.

[@khamlisesangtam1802]

More pop punk songs like this please

[@pyrogriffin]

This reminds me of an old college acapella group I used to follow: Emocapella.

[@scooteroo1701]

Lost it on the all the small things! it was brilliant. Finally christmas music I can get into!

[@alisonspangler3601]

You are seriously amazing. This made my Christmas.

[@hyfy-tr2jy]

As Gary Hoey has gone on the record saying "You can never lose on a Christmas Album....they are money in the bank"

[@nicoleservello1148]

This is literally my favorite thing since sliced bread.

[@ThomasTaylor4Bros]

It’s beyond me how you have not signed record deals with major companies, holy f*ck everything you produce is legendary ❤

[@jerbear97]

isn't he under Pure Noise

[@gunnarkr22557]

Feeling this would be great in this format

[@alechernandez3126]

I need my Christmas music to just be this.

[@MegaMat_Show]

That TBS harmony tho!

[@zacharypool]

Gonna need someone to set their house christmas light display to this mkay?
