What would Olivia Rodrigo’s hit “Drivers License” sound like in the style of Blink-182? Or, as YouTuber Ali Spagnola puts it, if the song was turned into “a punk song that sounds like it’s performed by naked dudes.”

Surprisingly, the genre twist on the mournful ballad Rodrigo penned with 38-year-old Daniel Nigro actually works. Check it out below.
And, for those doing the math, Rodrigo was about three years away from being born when Blink-182 was at the peak of its commercial success with “All the Small Things.”
