Ok, let's go

OK GO! Does it again… This time, with a car company that is sort of a commercial (that car is kinda cute). They jacked up the car and turned it into a driving instrument that played the course as they drove. Who comes UP with these ideas??? And how awesome for the Chevy Sonic to get that brand play time—you rarely know when a video will become viral, but betting on an OK GO! innovative music video is pretty much a guarantee…

Here’s what the band had to say about the video (via their YouTube Channel):
The new music video from OK Go, made in partnership with Chevrolet. OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments, and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car. The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording. There are no ringers or stand-ins; Damian took stunt driving lessons. Each piano had the lowest octaves tuned to the same note so that they’d play the right note no matter where they were struck. For more information and behind-the-scenes footage, see http://www.LetsDoThis.com and http://www.okgo.net. Many thanks to Chevy for believing in and supporting such an insane and ambitious project, and to Gretsch for providing the guitars.
