OK Go, On Treadmills



OK Go hit not only with one, but two viral videos. The first, A Million Ways, was imitated quite frequently, typically by high school students. It didn't require anything special to do, just slavish attention to detail.

OK Go followed that up with Here It Goes Again where they performed on treadmills. This uped the ante. It was cooler than their first video, but nearly guaranteed that few would imitate it with the fervor of their first video.

Yet, here's a high school rendition of that, the trick being to get the right kind of treadmills to do the dance. Although the original video is now about a year old, it's taken that long for an imitation to make it out into YouTube. The quality, both of the video and the dance, isn't great, but given the degree of difficulty, you have to give props to the guys for making a credible attempt.
