OK Go - Here It Goes Again Granbury High School

[@thepapadanshow1407]

This was exactly what youtube was for. Just random kids being creative, not all over-produced stuff, being viewed worldwide from their school hall. Just pure entertainment. Not special message or agenda. Brought a tear to my eye remembering the start of youtube, the good old days.

[@S.Waters.]

What’s creative about copying a famous bands music video?

[@johancuellar6358]

Yes!! Exactly what youtube was created for at its best 🎉

[@francookie9353]

Let's have both the fun home video content and the educational stuff, okay? We can get rid of the drama channels as far as I'm concerned.

[@montana-road-kill-harvest]

totally, miss those days. Wonder what these 'kids' are up to now? they're around 35 now. mind boggling

[@Skittl1321]

​@@S.Waters. basically the same as kids doing tik tok dances. It's just a talent show, not an influencer selling you stuff.

[@TaylorForbes1996]

If they didn't win the competition it's a crime

[@wooaahh23]

How. How is this statement even true if you didn't see anything else. All they did was copy a routine that was already a thing.

[@rw8733]

Anybody know if they actually DID win?

[@Ragan31687]

Wooahh Just because it was already choreographed doesn’t mean doing the dance is easy. It took OK GO a dozen tries to get it correct. These guys did it live and nailed it the first try. It’s incredible what they did.

Hi! I also just got recommended it. I think because OK Go posted some shorts recently that have captions about the making of the music video that I just watched.

I don't know that anyone is still checking comments on this, but you MUST know that this is the best ever KZbin video. I come back annually to appreciate it. I hope that each of you include a QR scan of this with your resume so that employers know you mean business.

Can we appreciate for a moment how fucking well those guys did?

[@jpaulz17]

[@Ragan31687]

They did it better than OK GO. In the original the guy in the red pants slips a minute in just a bit. But these guys did it perfectly

[@ThePipea8a]

meragan12487 I like how they mimicked everything to perfection.

[@b0ngwat3rbrat]

+ThePipea8a yes

[@MelyssaAKASkittlez]

meragan12487 They didn't do it better than OK Go. These guy just imitated the band; the band was taught the moves by the singer's professional ballroom dancing sister. A tiny slip doesn't mean the students did it better. Don't get me wrong, they did great, but I doubt they were coached on technique like the band was.

[@odiemodie1]

Seven years later to this date, this vid has become legendary... the boys are grown up now and probably have moved on, but this epic performance of their high school youth remains forever for others to see years to come... where ever you guys are, Trend on boys... trend on! :)

[@princeepie4475]

They missed the part where Damien stumbles on a backwards turn step, I was waiting for it but he did it perfectly but then again at least I go to see what the routine would have looked like without thr stumble

[@kazitox]

This was so well done, it's insane, even the small things like the jacket flip and the jaw dropping and even the occasional looking back at or towards the audience is all accounted for and done perfectly.

[@mirjambotman5652]

And even the styling (colours)

[@FightYourMother]

How do you even practice for this? You just happen to have eight treadmills on hand?

[@joselynm5634]

FightYourMother they probably used the schools treadmills. Most schools have gyms

[@violetmarie.7835]

Fair point. If that were the case, though, I wonder if the teens were able to access the machines without supervision. Since (US) schools are usually very careful about liability concerns, it's hard to imagine they would've knowingly let students use the machines that way, even after hours.

[@sarcasticat6979]

Forget liabilities, would a US highschool even have that many treadmills for student use? They're not exactly known for their generosity when it comes to funding for school equipment
