I don't think I'd call it awesome. Creative? I think that's fair. But awesome? It feels really low energy and low effort and no one really seems excited to be doing it which comes off making it feel more like a drag and more like they're just doing it to fullfill a record company contract. I think there's potential but in terms of music videos it feels like they're just metaphorically jingling keys in front of us to entertain us
@@alexi1281 I don't think so because I've seen their other videos and those seem like they have alot more effort and energy. Like Needing/Getting took alot of effort to do. Same with This Too Shall Pass. Though I do agree that Ive never seen them really looking enthusiastic.
@@GusOfTheDorks yeah that's what I meant they definitely made other videos which take more effort and time, but they can't necessarily do that for every video. Plus this song is more of an alternative low energy song. Where as needing/getting is a much more energetic and percussive song.
1:22 So, if you watch the behind the scenes, you can see that those are actually bubbles. In this video, it looks like a failed attempt to blow colored bubbles, but in reality the smudges of color are from the bubbles' shine and distortion of the greenscreen.
A bit late, but I'll explain it anyways: Time refers to the song's "time signature", or beats per measure, shown in X/Y format. The most common times' numerators are divisible by 3 or 4, while the bottom is always 4 or 8(I've never heard or seen it being anything else). Examples are: 3/4, 4/4, 6/8, and 9/8(X/4 means that every quarter note gets 1 beat, while X/8 means that every eighth note gets 1 beat. Know that a beat(unit of time) is not the same as a note(a tone)). In those time signatures, emphasis is placed on the 1st beat and, when the numerator is divisible, every 3rd beat after. - 4/4: ONE two three four - 6/8: ONE two three FOUR five six In time signatures where the numerator is NOT divisible, emphasis is not placed where we expect it. - 5/4: ONE two three four five(emphasis would be placed here in 4/4) - 7/8: ONE two THREE four FIVE six seven(extra space after emphasis) Although they are counted at regular, repeated intervals, the "delay" in emphasis makes it sound irregular, even if you don't know about time signature.
I love how OK Go uses really simple things, like wiffle bats, beach balls, and gaff tape, paired with endless creativity and great video editing to make such amazing videos. That's really what TH-cam is all about: raw talent.
“I nocliped into an OKGO music video” is now going to enter my brain as a regular sentence. For real though, I was wondering why noone used a textureless void as a music video concept. Little did I know, OK GO has always been on the ball about stuff like that
It’s called screen tearing. It happens a lot in games when you leave the skybox because there is no longer a background and it tries to cover it up but just ends up destroying everything
***** it depends on how you look at it. i think they are underrated because i think they deserve even more popularity. not to say an artist like EDEN isn't also underrated to me but you can call anything underrated if you believe it is. you could even say lady gaga is underrated if you really wanted to.
Same. *Fangirlsigh* I saw them live once. It was a charity show and their performance was as spectacular as their videos with light up letters on the back of their jackets spelling OKGO. It was amazing and while I hate live shows I would see them again in a heart beat given the opportunity. Thank you OKGO for bothering to perform in Birmingham, AL! I may have been the only person there to appreciate it but thank you so much for an unforgettable memory!
I've been trying to get my head around, What the fuck is happening? I'm trying to make some sense out of What you're doing with my head. It's like a skydive Or getting high The kinda thing'll maybe kill you. It's like I'm eye-to-eye With a wild lion. Oh, I don't know what to tell you. There's just this thing about you.

This probably wasn't a super difficult effect 13 years ago, but I'm sure it wasn't "free filter on TikTok" easy. Also clearing the background with the colored dowels was really clever.
I watched this when I was stoned and I only got more higher 🥰This usually ain't my type of music genre but man I appreciate how artsy it sounds and looks aesthetic too which is a combination I would never say no to 🌊

Looks like it's that time of year again where I watch every OK Go music video at 3am
LOL, guess it's my turn this year! This is the first one I've hit, and I can already tell I'm gonna fall down this rabbit hole again!
@@connorrobinson6949 this was the last one on my Biannual viewing of ok go videos
I was just thinking the same thing. Lol
And here we are again
This is me on a different account and I'm back again lmao
This is proof you don't need a large budget to make an awesome music video.
Just a broken monitor
I don't think I'd call it awesome. Creative? I think that's fair. But awesome?

I wanna see this clip without the effect, of like them just spinning chairs and slowly dragging sticks across the screen
Watch the behind the scenes. It's great.
I imagine the letdown would be akin to listening to sitcoms without the canned laughter.
It is in 5/4, and only the "There's just this thing about you" is in 4/4. This makes us go even more "WTF" so it's very cool!
Aha...I don't know much about music signatures and such but it was clear something weird was going on!
@@horsepanther I made the comment a year ago and your answer notified me of the 69 likes.

Right. There’s only 2 bars in 4/4.

Am I the only one surprised this is in 5/4 time?
For such a video, I would be more surprised if it weren't.
Metromancer I KNEW IT
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS HORRIBLY, TERRIBLY OFF.
i feel ashamed for not knowing exactly what... time? it's in, to be honest
A bit late, but I'll explain it anyways:
Time refers to the song's "time signature", or beats per measure, shown in X/Y format.
The most common times' numerators are divisible by 3 or 4, while the bottom is always 4 or 8(I've never heard or seen it being anything else). Examples are: 3/4, 4/4, 6/8, and 9/8(X/4 means that every quarter note gets 1 beat, while X/8 means that every eighth note gets 1 beat. Know that a beat(unit of time) is not the same as a note(a tone)).
In those time signatures, emphasis is placed on the 1st beat and, when the numerator is divisible, every 3rd beat after.
- 4/4: ONE two three four
- 6/8: ONE two three FOUR five six
In time signatures where the numerator is NOT divisible, emphasis is not placed where we expect it.
- 5/4: ONE two three four five(emphasis would be placed here in 4/4)
- 7/8: ONE two THREE four FIVE six seven(extra space after emphasis)
Although they are counted at regular, repeated intervals, the "delay" in emphasis makes it sound irregular, even if you don't know about time signature.
Metromancer makes you go wtf
Really helps add to that uneasy, off-balance mood the song creates. OK Go are very underrated as songwriters, IMO.

I love watching their music videos. They always do something fun.
I want to see what fire and water look like in that..... filter or whatever it is.

Wow, this is probably the best music video I've seen in years.
1:49 LSD Jedi training!
Except for just about all the other Ok Go videos 😉
If there were any taste and justice in music these guys would win a best video award every year.
I just binged every music video and for some reason this is my favourite. It's so simple yet so stylish
there was an alternate titling for this video called OK Go's adventures in windows XP
Ok Go always blow my mind with their epic-greater-than-my-imagination videos. This is seriously epic.
12 years later and your still right 👍
*puts on Ok go playlist to clean. Can't stop watching the videos*
This reminds me of Super Mario 64 Chaos Edition.
Me too.
where did Damian get that shirt???
nevermind. it's just a black and white sweater with tape on the sleeve
Ok Go are the kings of awesome videos

How have I never seen or heard this before! Love the effects! OkGo's videos have always been creative and just so fun to watch!
These videos are sick!!!

So maybe you can help me clear this up,
Cause me myself I just can't tell.

Fabulous...
Are they "great musician"?
No, they are ""great artist"!!!!!
both
I accidentally clapped after watching this.
JSMMOVIE 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I like this video and song...
This reminds me so much of when my windows pop-up froze and I'd play with it
This is the sexiest vocal demonstration I've ever heard. His voice is silky smooth.
when a win95 program crashes
I love Ok Go they're amazing, and so original. No one can pull off their shit.
This deserves way more views than it has.
All of OK Go's videos deserve more views than they have.
They're out of the map geometry!

This probably wasn't a super difficult effect 13 years ago, but I'm sure it wasn't "free filter on TikTok" easy. Also clearing the background with the colored dowels was really clever.
What time signature is this? 5/4?
yup.
Lil_A_20 2.0 yes. c:
or maybe 5/8 to 4/4 (“there’s just this thing about ya”), then back to 5/8
Dan could play for the Mets! Love the 5/4 feel of this tune.
I don't understand why this doesn't have more views like their other vids. It's cool as hell and I love the song.
I watched this when I was stoned and I only got more higher 🥰This usually ain't my type of music genre but man I appreciate how artsy it sounds and looks aesthetic too which is a combination I would never say no to 🌊
When you forget to use glClear
oh the opengl joke
Every once in a while I will go back to this channel and one of my friends OK Go's music videos cuz they're so impressive ot me
Oh, how I love when OK Go does a Prince-esque song.
the best music video to watch high
I seriously love the gimmick of this video, you guys did some really creative stuff, as per usual. Love it.
What the Fuck does WTF mean?!
where the food
Water The Flowers.
WTF means what the f__k.
What? That's False.
***** WTF are you even talking about? Thats not even true.
Just saying "Who's watching this in 2015?" is a year-old joke.

+Ralph Anthony Espos so.. who's watching this in 2016?
+Ork Forester I am.
+Ralph Anthony Espos Who's watching this in any year?

Musically and visually, one of their best!
Well dang, OK Go.
This messes with my brain so much.
Tim: I've got an idea for a new video
TH-cam compression algorithm: I feel a disturbance in the force
What was used to create this effect? What is the effect called?
Anyone?
Greatly appreciated
Exactly my question. Do you know now maybe? :)
Me too its for my arts studies please
It is called echo effect. :)
Dat snare drum. God it's perfect.
This is so classic. Song and video.
It’s amazing that they made a song in a 5/4 time signature sound good.
Also the videos pretty cool.
I’ve never missed depth perception more than right now
MAN I LOVE THIS SONG IT'S SO SMOOTH AND THE GUITAR SOLO IS SO EPIC
I littarly watch this just to stare at his face. Hot damn that man is 😍😍
me tooo ❤❤
this is what the 4th dimension is like, except stuff wouldn't be covered up and you would see everything from every time at once.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS MUSIC VIDEO FOR 10 YEARS.
thank you todd in the shadows.
Anybody still this watching in 2015?
_youtube.exe has crashed_
*reboots computer*
_youtube.exe may be corrupt_
ok go,was the best clips on internet
Probably just recording on a PC with a normal image capture software XD
i thought that my computer is crazy
So Colorful! I love it!
*clap* *clap* --- *clap*
this song is very prince-esque
amazing work, i have been watching all clips all night lol
O_O I THINK THE CUPCAKE I ATE HAD SOMETHING IN IT
watch this holding the space bar down
GYAT I LOVE THIS!!
I still laugh at Dan's deformed face on the right at 0:39
i was just laughing at that and then i see this comment 😭😭
My mind is literally screaming...
Ergo Sum same.
I know these guys are known for their interesting videos but the music style is right up my alley.
The Wiggles on drugs?
"let's do it 5/4 to fuck with them even more"
~Ok GO at some point
Whoever edited this video has some serious skills.
god damn it, internet explorer!
For a truly trippy experience, speed the video down to 0.5 (helf speed). Or just get high, I've done that to.. Similar effect.
You should try both at the same time. I did, now I'm stuck on Neptune and can't get home.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate Damian's eyes? Oml they are beautiful
Probably the easiest of their videos to make.
Most of their videos seem like they took huge amounts of time and money.
Haha, I thought of the same thing.
The idea was clever nevertheless.
Go see their "review video" thingy on their channel about this video, its actually harder than it looks xD
Yup! Invation!
filmed with windows xp
lmfao so true

That black & white striped sweater with a hint of yellow & pink is almost just as amazing as this song
Am I the only one who thinks the lead singer is identical to Cillian Murphy?
Nah bro, you are not alone :3
oh my gosh hess!! i was just thinking that. And I'm IN LOVE with Cillian.
I can see that. Damian (that is his name right?) is the more plain/normal version of Cillian.
Why can't this be in HD :( I don't think 360p does it ANY justice :(
I can't stop listening to this song,I think I am addicted. o.o
Ugh he is so seductive 😩😜
i know! really charming and handsome!
Megan Taylor i don't know if it's because of the song (i mean just listen to the lyrics they're lowkey kinky) or is it just him in general but i agree
It´s him in general! If you check out other MVs, you´ll see! ;)
Bárbara Fonseca oh, I'm a die hard OK Go fan. but in this video in particular he looks very charming.
TRUE! but he always looks good anyways! *.*
