The popular YouTuber/singer Jon Cozart, also known by his YouTube channel ‘Paint’ has grown to fame (and to over 4 million subscribers) by his very-well executed videos such as ‘Harry Potter in 99 seconds’ or the ‘After Ever After’ songs).
And why are we talking about Jon today? Jon recently published through his Instagram Stories videos from the previous night, where you can hear him and his friends drunkenly karaoke to Simple Plan’s ‘Perfect’.
Check it out on the video below. Enjoy:
Popular Irish YouTuber Jacksepticeye use his Instagram Stories last night to have some fun and listen to one of Simple Plan’s most widely known tracks – ‘Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me?)’ – on camera along with some sing-alongs. The 27-year-old’s YouTube audience is over 15 million people with his Instagram feed reaching to 4.7 million of his fans.
This is however not the first time that a popular YouTuber has used this song in one of their videos – you may recall that three years ago, PewDiePie used Untitled as well to express his feelings about dropping his ice-cream cone.

The renowned music magazine, now websize, SPIN, has recently released a list of 21 best pop-punk choruses of the 21st century. And of course, Simple Plan were featured on the list as well with their song ‘I’D Do Anything’ on number 19. Besides SP, the list also features songs by artists such as Jimmy Eat World, The 1975, Paramore or My Chemical Romance.
Read below what the editor Jordan Sargent of SPIN had to say about this classic track by Simple Plan from their debut album, which came out 15 years ago.
Along with their song ‘This Song Saved My Life’, the members of Simple Plan sent their words of encouragement to the part-takers of the ‘Not In My School, Not In My Rez’ anti-bullying campaign, which seeks to pair Indigenous and non-Indigenous schools across Canada.
As a part of this anti-bullying campaign, seven students and three representatives of the Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation School (Saskatchewan) recently visited the Symmes-D’Arcy McGee High School (Gatineau, Quebec). The students of these schools worked together in order to try to establish a common action plan for their schools and communities. The plan for the future is for the Gatineau-based charity, I Love First Peoples, to coordinate these effort on a national scale.

Back in 2005, The Coca-Cola Company started a new ad campaign called ‘Make It Real’, which replaced the original ‘Real’ campaign for Coca-Cola from the brand’s previous years. ‘Make It Real’ targeted younger audience: teenagers and young adults by showing clips that resonated with them on a more deeper level: by making the brand more integral to the young person’s life and more relatable.
In this campaign, which was created by the NY based Berlin Cameron advertising agency, among many other spots, one in particular stands out for the Simple Plan fans. The clip depicts through a very real-life-looking footage a story of a group of young people who head out on the road to have an adventure, record music, film themselves and just have fun. And while all the activities in the clip certainly helped in targeting the right audience, the addition of Simple Plan’s song ‘Shut Up’, very popular in those years, as the SNGA album was released just a year prior to that, made the clip even more relatable.
