Have you heard of the musical group "OK GO"?

They were discussed on NPR today, so I had to look them up. Pretty clever and amazing stuff!

Yep, pretty neat band. First time I heard of them was in reference to the music video they did with the treadmills.

Do you know the name of the song where they dance on the treadmills? @Winter_Pariah

I know of them from the treadmill video “Here it goes again” and the Rube Goldberg creation This too shall pass Clever stuff. I guarantee you will watch it at least twice.

It’s cool. I still think the dog one is pretty much the cutest thing ever.

I just saw the video to “This Too Shall Pass” recently, which made me think of them. I still love the one from a few years ago when they’re on treadmills, Here It Goes Again.

They are known for their awesome videos.

Needless to say, I am not a fan of all of their stuff, but some of it is just amazing. For instance, I wasn’t a fan of the one you linked, but loved the following:

This too shall pass (‘Rube Goldberg’ version)
The Writing’s on the Wall – The perspective work is just, eye-boggling
Needing/Getting – Great driving action
White Knuckles – Nice choreography (and trained dogs)
Last Leaf – Fun with toast!

A million ways was their first big song, it’s one of the cheapest music videos ever made because it was done with a camcorder in their backyard.

That’s not my favorite video of theirs, although I love those Honda self balancing unicycles!

I have limited internet and the song I linked to was only the second one I’d seen. It was also the one that was discussed on NPR that day, introducing me to the group.

I believe part of “The Writing’s on the Wall” was the first I saw. Thanks to all, and especial thanks to the links. As soon as my picture upload is complete, I’m going to watch “Here It Goes Again”.

“Needing/Getting” was incredible, @jerv, thanks!
