OK Go! (Some More!)

We love OK Go, and the new OK Go video is another wonderful one for adults and kids alike!

Like their previous videos — including Here It Goes Again and This Too Shall PassWhite Knuckles includes catchy music and deceivingly simple visuals.  But this one also features a classic kid-favorite addition: cute animals.  These dogs* are absolutely adorable, from the way they jump, run, and walk around the set to the way they bob their heads in perfect rhythm with one another and the musicians.  If your children haven’t seen this video yet, trust me, they’ll love it!

Oh, and for anyone who’s wondering: yes, OK Go did make this video with their trademark “one take.”  No pieces of film sliced and diced together here.  And, yes, it was verrrryyy challenging!  Gizmodo did a great piece on the problems the musicians, trainers, and animals faced, and the excitement of knowing that it all came together perfectly.

* PS Did you see the goat around 2:50?!?!?

OK Go — for kids!

By now, everyone has seen the great Rube Goldberg machine in the OK Go video, This Too Shall Pass.

In fact, you might have even seen the Colbert Report’s take on a Rube Goldberg machine the night OK Go appeared on the show!

But have you thought about adding one or more OK Go videos to your child’s YouTube playlist?  Kids are as intrigued by this band as adults, and — even though I can’t really classify this as educational — they’ll definitely get a kick out of it!  In fact, “mesmerized” is the word one friend used to describe the songs’ effect on her children.

This Too Shall Pass is great, but so is Here it Goes Again.  They’ll like it both for the catchy music and the fun visuals!  Let us know if there are other music videos that your child(ren) enjoy!
