Music Videos: OK GO & Treading New Territory

Episode Notes

We're back with another music video round table, taking a closer look at the band that is pushing the boundaries and possibilities of music videos, OK Go.

Over 15 years ago, OK Go went viral with their backyard hit "A Million Ways," becoming the most downloaded video in 2005. A year later the infamous follow up, “Here It Goes Again,” ranks as one of the Top 30 Best Music Videos of All Time by TIME Magazine in 2011.

Since then, OK Go has gone above and beyond creating unforgettable music videos with strategically quirky choreography from bandmate’s sister, Trish Sie, to collaborating with world-renowned dance company, Pilobolus.

We won’t be playing the songs in this episode due to copyright, but our banter runs seamlessly as we relive our early years of viral entertainment.
