    i agree. it's totally brilliant. can you imagine the guy who came up with the concept saying, 'okay then i'm thinking... maybe... treadmills.' and the band looking at him like he was off his nut. it works so well. i laughed the first time i saw it. now it just makes me happy. :):)

    It was one of the band members' sisters.

    I saw a member do an interview on The Colbert Report. Said his sister came up with the concept, filmed, and choreographed the entire thing herself! :D

    Friends showed it to me for the first time last night. Really cool. Probably the coolest music video i've seen. The ice skating part is the best.

    YES!!! It's amazingly brilliant!!!

    Music videos rarely do justice to anything these days but the first time I saw it I could not stop smiling. And wondering how long it took for them to get that routine so perfect! It looks like it's entirely a straight shot with no editing or breaks.

    Even if that's not so, it must be the best music video made in years.

    The video for "A Million Ways" was similar, but no treadmills. Still just as entertaining.

    It's a great video. The MTV performance has got to be the hardest thing ever done at that show.

    I fell in love with the video the first time I saw it :D the whole concept is just...brilliant!!!! and so original.

    I was completely amused by the fact that they performed it live at the MTV awards. And it was perfect! :)

    Yeah, that was pretty cool. Can't really say much more.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    It's a sweet video!
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    That video is very original -- the song is very catchy too. Pop music can be good too.

    Does anyone remember that Jamiroquai video where the singer is sliding all over the room? What's the name of that song? I would love to see that on the YT site.

    Eight days of choreography practice, according to a video interview I saw.

    Kudos to OK Go and that one guy's sister.
