OK Go (http://www.okgo.net/) has a new video (http://youtube.com/watch?v=pv5zWaTEVkI) for their song "Here It Goes Again" that involves some wicked moves on ... eight treadmills.

Agreed.
I love those boys. Haha. They can do anything.
Oh I forgot to say: They also have a YouTube Dance Contest (http://youtube.com/group/okgodance) right now going on. Deadline was the 30th of July, but they've extended it a month.

I have watched this numerous times the past few days and I am very impressed ever time. Especially at the bald guy in the pink shirt (I'm not familiar with their names/instruments). He seems to be the most natural at it. While the others appear to be focusing hard on their next move, he is just free flowing smoothly as he sings along. I think I like this video more than their last.

That was as cool as Walt Disney's head. Brillant. I didn't think they could redo the magic that was on the million ways video, but they did. Good music too.

True or not, that was pretty damn funny.
If I could get my hands on eight treadmills (or just two) I would have to attempt some of these moves. Mostly spinning in a circle or the cross country skiing one.

can you believe 107 groups of people recreated that first video? thats kinda annoying but.. funny at the same time.
edit: winner should be these guys http://youtube.com/watch?v=NDmeBjhqLE0

and....this video is far more impressive than their last. not only did they have to work out the dance moves, but they had to worry about timing far more. i'm in awe of them.....and yes, i'd really like to know how many takes it took them/how long they spent planning it

I wish I could choreograph something like that...it's pretty cool.

AMAZING! That's all I have to say about that. It's better than the Million Ways video, but definately not better than seeing them do the Million Ways dance live on stage.

i agree. seeing that first dance live was easily the highlight of the show i saw them at.

That would be Tim, and yeah, I agree he seems very natural. I love that he mouths to the lyrics.

there has to be outtakes or something for this video. i need bloopers!!

Ight?
Right.
I was kidding.
Everytime I see an OK GO video now its just like "are you fucking serious?" or "did they just do that shit?". They cant stop amazing me in every way. This thing and "A Million Ways" should be all over MTV. If they ever needed a reason to break out the old BUZZWORTY green video tag again this would be it.
Although I didn't like it as much as their previous effort "Oh No" should have sold much better than I remember it doing.

The lead singer told me his sister did all of the choreography for the first one, I'd wager she did it for this too. Man, the parts where they appear to be skating across the treadmills is so damn cool. They are all such fluid movers and incredibly cool guys. Love these guys.

My friends and I tried putting it together, but shit, there was so much to learn and we ended up bailing on it. We told them in Feb. we would send them a video of us doing it, but we are big pansies and could never learn their stellar dance.

I'm seeing these guys support MCS in September.
I have to say I was a little dissappointed that the support wasn't anyone better, but if they pull these moves on stage I'm sure their set will be a fun time.
treadmills shouldn't be that fun.
awesome awesome video, just like million ways.
kudos to whoever came up with the concept ha.
i wonder if it'll start off a new kind of exercise? dancemillaerobics anyone?

I highly doubt they'll be inserting this anywhere on tour haha but they do the Milion Ways dance on stage.

The guy in the red pants (sorry I dont know their names) almost falls about 1 minute in..
dang, I've been watching this video too many times...

One of the best videos I've ever seen. Possibly my favorite ever. I love this band. If they ever decided to do something like this for every song off of Oh No, I would be ecstatic.

pedant! check again :)
although its already been said many times, great video, brilliant choreography...i dont really remember the song at all haha just the coolness.
These guys should explode popularity wise even without the video. People are really missing out on great music and obviously an energetic and fun loving group that doesn't take themselves too seriously. Its refreshing to see a band have fun and a sense of humor without making it annoying like some bands have leaned on as a crutch when it comes to videos.
