- YGS: The Rap - For his fifteenth, twenty-fifth, and thirty-fifth episodes Jack turned all the YouTube comments in the videos into a rap song. Surprisingly, all the comments were organized to make rhyming lyrics, and they are some of his most popular YGS episodes yet.
- The Valentine's Day Song - As part of the Sideburns Crew, Jack put up a song on Valentine's Day 2012 stating how in Valentine's Day solitude you can still be hopeful that "Cupid's arrow is on its way".
- All I Want For Christmas Is A Girlfriend - In December 2007, Jack uploaded a holiday-themed song about how much he wants a girlfriend as a Christmas present, as he feels isolated and despairing about still being single. This song showed off his ukelele skills during his solo, with his ukelele in the shape of a small Gibson Flying V.
- Jack City Bich - In April of 2012, Jack uploaded a very short song that mainly epitomized his work and experiences on YouTube, mentioning lots of people that are and aren't in his videos.
