Sometimes we feel that the songs that are constantly on the radio have no creative sparkle to them and these songs not only are they similar, but some even drive the 'ear-worm' syndrome ("a tune or part of a song that repeats in one's mind").

At one point, these new songs are not only so similar to each other but they are overplayed that I no longer listen to them whenever they come on the radio, or I will constantly switch between radio stations to find some other song to listen to. However, Postmodern Jukebox changes modern day songs by placing a vintage-retro twist onto them making them sound like a new song but post-modernized.

Here is a list of the 15 Postmodern Jukebox songs (there's more of course on their channel):

1) Closer-Retro '50s Prom Style Chainsmokers/Halsey Cover ft. Kenton Ch

2) Call Me Maybe- Postmodern Jukebox: Reboxed Cover ft. Von Smith

3) Mr. Brightside-1940s Rat Pack Style The Killers Cover ft. Blake Lewis


4) Cry Me a River- Vintage '50s R&B Justin Timberlake Cover ft. Von Smith


5) Grenade-Vintage '60s Style Bruno Mars Cover ft. Brielle


6) Poker Face- 1946 Big Band Style Lady Gaga Cover ft. Kelley Jakle


7) Focus- Ray Charles Style Ariana Grande Cover ft. LaVance Colley


8) Oops!... I Did It Again- Vintage Marilyn Monroe Style Britney Spears Cover ft. Haley Reinhart


9) Shake it Off- Vintage Motown Taylor Swift Cover ft. Von Smith


10) Rude- Vintage 1950s Sock Hop- Style MAGIC! Cover ft. Von Smith


11) Fancy- Vintage 1920s Flapper- Style Iggy Azalea Cover ft. Ashley Stroud


12) Timber- Vintage 1950s Doo Wop Pitbull/Ke$ha Cover


13) Rather Be- Vintage Western/"Westworld" Saloon- Style Clean Bandit Cover ft. Ada Pasternak


14) Bad Romance- Postmodern Jukebox: Reboxed ft. Sara Niemietz & The Sole Sisters


15) Umbrella- Vintage "Singin' in the Rain" Style Rihanna Cover ft. Casey Abrams & The Sole Sisters

Postmodern Jukebox makes other modern songs with a post-modern twist on it. Sometimes there are great songs out there that just need a different spin on it so it doesn't fall into the category of songs that sound the same as the rest of other songs.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
