OkGo was my first Subsrciption on YouTube (Sorry Nalts! LOL) after the Million Ways Dance. They saw the power of Social Media before anyone else as a good Marketing Tool. They have such an awesome organic Rock Sound and a VERY Original sound. They keep it simple and they are Down to Earth and Enjoy what they are doing. They are very appreciative of their fans and that is what makes them so successful.

I just found out today that I know the brother of one of the guys in this band. I’m not shitting you. He had never mentioned it before, but it’s not like we’re close. I noticed they have the same last name.

Currently, the video is just shy of 5 million views. About … 77,829 views short.
And … it wasn’t done in one take. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV23EVZ-nc4

Earlier version. Not as cool as Rube Goldberg version, still worth watching:

@8: While you may be right about OK Go’s lack of marketing tie-ins to their videos, I’m not sure that’s really the point. They are very popular in our area, as we have a great indie radio station. That’s not true everywhere, and I think their point is to get their name out to a wider audience and generate some buzz for their concerts (when they were here a couple of years back, they did the “Million Ways” dance live, which the crowd LOVED).

While I agree that links to iTunes would seem to be a great addition to their videos, their main purpose is to entertain.

IMHO.

@6: OK Go is great. This is not one of their best songs, admittedly, but still pretty good.

Great video shame about the business model.

Hey Nalts, I gave you a shout out for pointing this out to me in my post: Viral Videos Suck… or… This Too Shall Pass.
