OK GO!: Music Video Fad!

In the big bad world of the music industry, it is sometimes hard for a band to be noticed, firstly, by a record label,but also by the general public. Sometimes they might go for a gimmick like they all being from the same family a la The Corrs or be The White Stripes and have the weird dilemma of them either being brother and sister or married, MAD I KNOW!

However, one band took the route of having interesting and out of this world kind of videos. Their debut song A Million Ways was the first in a long line of videos. The video concept was the band in the one of the members back garden doing a dance routine and it only took one take.

 

Their second video was probably their most famous and involved the use of treadmills where again a dance routine was created but this time the added danger of the treadmills was added to make the video a lot cooler and much more popular   

 

The bands popularity was so high with all their millions of views on You Tube that they even collaborated on a music video with The Muppets!

Their popularity seems to have died down as the Internet moves away from OK GO but we will always have the memories of the dancing and the treadmills!

Charlie Bit My Finger

In May 2007 a video was uploaded to YouTube which features two brothers Harry Davies-Carr and Charlie Davies-Carr. In the video you see the two brothers sitting on a chair and Harry puts his finger into Charlie's mouth and gets bitten. From the description of the video yous are probably thinking whats the big deal?! Exactly my thoughts when I heard what it was about but when you actually see the video you cant help saying 'aww' at the cuteness of it. The video was uploaded by the two boys father Howard Davies-Carr to show their godfather who lives in America, he had no idea the the video would go viral. And by viral I mean the video has had half a billion views.


Why not take a look at the video and see what all the fuss is about!
