Well, I did this last time, so it only makes sense to upload the instrumental version this time around as well!
In honor of the five year anniversary (which is totally NOT just a coincidence...) I present, my cover of the theme song from 6Teen (the Mall). Instrumental recorded five years a go, remixed and remastered now in 2023. Oh boy, you really DO gotta make the good times last...
When I originally uploaded this, YouTube didn't like that I had the theme song visual in the video. Well, now that the entire series is uploaded to YouTube, I don't think it should be a problem! :)

From Wikipedia:
Feeling This is a song by American rock band Blink-182 for their eponymously titled fifth studio album (2003). The song is the opening track on the album and was released as its lead single on October 6, 2003, through Geffen Records. It was written by guitarist Tom DeLonge, bassist Mark Hoppus, and drummer Travis Barker, and was produced and mixed by Jerry Finn. The song originated on the first day of producing the album. Its lyrics are purely sexual in nature; the band juxtaposes lust and passion between verses and choruses, thematically connected with a wistful, regretful tone.
The song features a Latin-inspired backbeat in the chorus, and the song ends in a melodic, harmonized duet split between DeLonge and Hoppus. Elements of the song were inspired by rock groups Led Zeppelin and the Beach Boys. The songs music video, photographed by David LaChapelle, depicts a dystopian correctional facility that is overtaken by its inmates. An early version of the song, erroneously titled Action, was released on the soundtrack for the video game Madden NFL 2004.
Feeling This received critical acclaim and the song peaked to number two on Billboards Modern Rock Tracks chart in late 2003. It was also a top-20 hit in the United Kingdom and Australia. The digital single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2005. Blink-182 has performed Feeling This in a number of live appearances, including on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
Feeling This was the first track that was recorded for Blink-182 in early 2003.[2] On the first day of pre-production on the album, bassist Mark Hoppus asked an engineer to explain Pro Tools to him, as it was the first time the band would record their music digitally. He began recording guitar and bass parts and experimenting with the software. When guitarist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker arrived, they too began adding new tracks to the project.[3] The song was written in one day. I think if I sit there and try to analyze everything, what would be cool here or there, I just feel like I get so far away from what I would do, and I think your gut instinct is usually the best thing, said Barker at the time.[4]
The lyrics were written with Hoppus and DeLonge going into separate roomsâHoppus writing the choruses and DeLonge writing the verses. The two had not spoken to each other about the lyrics ahead of time, and it turned out that the two had both written about sex. When put together, the song represents the lustful side of sex during the verses, the passionate side in the bridge and the romantic side in the chorus, creating a juxtaposition between both voices.[2][5][6] It has been interpreted as a description for failed romance, one that illustrates a scenario of lust, ambivalence and regret.[7] For Barker, the songs drum track was super in respect to John Bonham. [...] We were kind of messing around with the verse. Itâs like, Well, I want to do a four-bar drum intro and just see how it works for the song. And we never second-guessed it. We were like, That sounds rad.[4]
According to engineer Ryan Hewitt, the track contains four distinct drum sounds created by old school tape editing. The song was recorded part-by-part, committing to different sounds by changing relative levels, EQ, and compression throughout, and the engineers would slightly move microphones used to record Barkers drum kit to tailor the natural ambience of the home it was recorded in.[8] Upon playback of a rough mix of the song, the engineer automated the music to fade at the songs conclusion, but mistakenly forgot to do the same for the vocal tracks. Hoppus, who had been listening to the Beach Boys at the time, liked the a cappella interplay of their voices. All agreed to keep it in the final version of the song.[3] Feeling This - Mark and Mitchell - Official Music Video (blink-182 Cover)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gZr8jgv4nY8/mqdefault.jpg)

This is Mark Alan Knapp Jr. and Alec Zaborniak covering The Longest Johns Bones In The Ocean off their EP Bones In The Ocean.
From Wikipedia:
The Longest Johns is a British folk musical group from Bristol, England,[1][2] consisting of Andy Yates, Dave Robinson, Jonathan JD Darley, and Robbie Sattin. They are known for performing folk music and sea shanties in the English tradition, and they also compose and record their own music.[3] They became famous for their rendition of the 1800s folk song Wellerman, which went viral on TikTok in early 2021.[4][5][6]
In March 2020, they released a song titled Flatten the Curve, urging people to stay indoors during the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
In January 2021, they signed a deal with Decca Records and United Talent Agency.[8]
The Longest Johns formed in June 2012 after first singing together at a friends barbecue.[9] The original line up consisted of Josh Bowker, Andy Yates, Jonathan Darley and Dave Robinson. About a week later, they posted their first video on YouTube, singing Haul Away Joe.
The band recorded their first EP, Bones in the Ocean in 2013, which was wholly original music. It was released on May 27, 2013.[10] The band released their second EP, Christmas at Sea, later that same year, on December 2, 2013.[11]
In 2015, Bowker was forced away from the band for the birth of his daughter, causing him to miss the 2015 Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival. Robbie Sattin joined the band as a replacement, and the band later announced that he would be officially joining the band.[citation needed]
The band released their first full-length album, Written in Salt, on June 18, 2016.[12] Following this release, and amid the bands heightening popularity, Bowker left the band to focus on running his business.[citation needed]
In November 2017, the band announced via Facebook that Anna Cornish would become the first female member of the band, having been singing with them for several months prior.
In April 2016, the band began recording their second studio album. The title of the album was later announced to be Between Wind and Water, and was released on June 19, 2018.[13]
In October 2019, the band announced that Cornish would be leaving the band to focus on her other band, The Norfolk Broads.
On June 10, 2020, the band released their third studio album, Cures What Ails Ya.[14]
The Longest Johns found sudden fame after a sea shanty video went viral on TikTok. On 27 December 2020, fellow Scottish musician and TikTok user Nathan Evans (username NathanEvanss) uploaded a video of himself singing the sea shanty Soon May the Wellerman Come, which quickly went viral. Other users sang their own versions, or added their own contributions to the video from Evans, and the original video racked up over 7.8 million views (as of 21 January 2021).[19] The trend sparked a huge interest in sea shanties, with millions of people discovering The Longest Johns recording of Wellerman, originally released on their 2018 album Between Wind and Water.[20] The song has been streamed on Spotify over 33.2 million times (as of May 24 2021).
