Ok Go - A Good Idea At The Time.

[TheAndy725]

1:35

Awesome picture is awesome.

[edostap]

A 3:12 song lasting 5:14 did seem like a good idea at the time!

[2timesloveequalslove]

4:37

[JaysGOP]

What a retarded song. I mean what were they trying to accomplish in ripping off Sympathy?

[qwgar]

@JaysGOP havent you ever heard a sad song? people rip off sympathy every time someone writes somthin like that

[JaysGOP]

@qwgar No this song stole half its lyrics directly from Sympathy and did a shit job of making something different out of it.

[qwgar]

@JaysGOP cant find the song, who's it by?

[JaysGOP]

@qwgar Search Sympathy for the Devil, make sure you get the Rolling Stones version, and kill yourself for not knowing what it is.

[qwgar]

@JaysGOP i feel a little ashamed that i didnt know that the rolling stones made it...

[qwgar]

@qwgar ohhhhhhhh that song... ive listened to it a bunch, just didnt know what it was called, i also knew it was from the rolling stones

[Kalle72]

@JaysGOP More like "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey". I think this song is good. But like Oasis put it: everybody is "Standing on the shoulder of Giants".

[05rahrah]

@JaysGOP This song is meant to be a response to Sympathy for the Devil, not a rip off. It's almost a line-by-line response for example: The First line in Sympathy for the Devil is: "Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste" and in response OK GO's first line was: "true about my wealth, true about my wealth" Many other bands have done this, some haven't used the lyrics as directly as OK GO did but this is called an answer/ response song.

[TasharaBarnes]

Literally the best slide show music vid i've ever seen on youtube.

[spacefreak09]

Mom: Timmy, why would you stick your tongue to a frozen lamp post?

Timmy: It seemed like a good idea at the time.

[revan376]

love how this song is a response to The Rolling Stones' song Sympathy for the Devil

[beriiiiil]

@Belzebub001 hes just kidding?!

[Belzebub001]

@beriiiiil I know..  :p

[james91123]

1:21 I'd be like Oh shit! Im gonna die

[3cheers4girlyanime]

My PC buffered at 2:16 then again at 2:26 and i couldn't have picked better spots myself!!! XD

[Themrvideogamaholic]

@Belzebub001 Joke... I luv this song!

[Themrvideogamaholic]

My fav part was 3:12 to 5:14!

[CuppyFredi]

great song, great video :D

[jamintothemusic]

Pilate was the man who sentenced Jesus to the cross. Complete atheist btw

[Daggerman2009]

@jamintothemusic of course : )

[Scotch7000]

@jamintothemusic didnt pilate invent um... pilates?

[MissxLoish]

@Scotch7000 you just had to ask, didnt you? xD

[nmcarpenter]

Could it be, "only PILOT knows?"

[DraconisWyrm]

Isn't it "I couldn't say, myself" not "I couldn't save myself"?

[Belzebub001]

@DraconisWyrm

Oh yeah, that could be right... :/

I'm not sure.

But I can't change the video anymore.

[Justforvisit]

@Belzebub001 But to letter it like that seemed like A Good Idea At The Time, huh? :P

[Daggerman2009]

@DraconisWyrm I'm pretty sure it's "I couldn't save myself".

[Revidescent84]

@DraconisWyrm Yerp :) And "Well learned politesse", not "earned" lol.

[maitardandjorgy7]

beastly

[SlashandPagerock]

Looked it up. This song actually is a word for word response to Sympathy for the Devil.

Also that showed me this band, Ok Go is actually really good!

[jsonm05]

very nice!

[DoubleYellowLinesUzu]

I love the pictures when it says Good At Idea At The Time!

This video is quality thanks for it!!

[5349017]

This song reminds me of GNR's or Rolling stone's SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL :D

Lyrics are realy simmiliar :) Well some parts of it :)

But I still like both songs.

OK GO ROCKS AND SO DO GNR :D

Rock On :D

[RazielXXXXXX]

This song is my favourite song out of al of OK Go's song. It goes this song, do what you want and here it goes again.By the way this is a friend of the following user.

[NeonPenguins22]

The pictures go very well with the song. Nice job!

[NeonPenguins22]

Love the video!

[khoaman98]

no the duck!!!!

[DubbleBubble303]

This video is awesome! Love the pictures. They go well with the song. Great job, Belzebub001. :)

[Belzebub001]

@DubbleBubble303

Oh well, thank you!! :D

I love all the comments I get. ^___^

[maitardandjorgy7]

awww! the baby's so cute!

[willylou]

there a good reason you have the video end at 3:12 and then gos on to like 5 mins?

I do ok go videos for the online game i play. ok go rocks the house!

[McAliber]

does anybody else realize how this is a huge reference to sympathy for the devil?

[woof5325]

I love the pic with the surfer and that gigantic shark. LOL

[eekrun]

i liked it ((:

[DangerAaron21]

My favorite pic was the first chorus, when the penguin had the cymbals held over the polar bear. Polar Bears are my favorite animal, and that was just hilarious! :) Great post!

[evilsean1]

This was a great album, I need to get it back

[woof5325]

Haha. I love this video. :)

[Minorthing792]

haha love it at 1:22 xD

[JamesPaglinawan]

Nice

[BilzozANinja]

2:25 pure gold

[Hill177]

lol, a sequel to one the greatest songs ever written by The Rolling Stones

[vnlShow]

I've never heard this song from OK Go,what album is it from????

[knightni73]

Oh No

[ATLWAR]

they are the acrtic monkeys for the U.S.

[molbac]

i like them better than the artic monkeys

[Eternity4EvaStudios]

I just love all of Ok Go's music. That's not the first time I said that... >_>

[Chyzzee]

some of the lyrics resemble those from Sympathy for the devil by the rollingstones.

[mrselfdestruct19]

@Chyzzee It's a direct response to the song. Personally I like Sympathy better

[seef0]

2:18 that's the funniest thing i've seen this week

[lolhammy]

Cutting my hair in the middle of the night in the dark with my crappy scissors seemed like a good idea at the time. But in the morning daddy dear was kinda a bit angry at me. :P Whoopsies.

[TheCarlyy]

So yea.

It was a good idea at the time.

Now...not so much.

Fuck.

[EatMyDamnCookies]

1:18 is so cute! :D

[DoWishesComeTrue]

lmfao ah how true.

[sexiepuppie]

lol, awsome. =^.^=

[creepyvannila]

In the pic with the cat goin towards the eagle, the eagle is the dumb one, cat will kill it!!! HAHA

[frankenkill]

Cat killing an eagle? don't think so.. some eagles can crush the skull of a deer with their claws only :P

[Natyu0815]

2:16 & 2:26 XD

jajajajajaja

[Shancus32796]

Holy shit that was funny. That whole Paul thing and the hair thing rings a bell so loud it hurts. I almost said that when I got a bad hair cut, yeah, it seemed like a good idea at the time until I noticed how bad the haircut was.

[Liebjuice]

this is a reference to the roling stones song sympathy for the devil

[filmerdude1337]

uhrrrrr.... in the beggining you missed the h on wealth.....

[Belzebub001]

Oh crap, you're right...

I never noticed that before,

I'm sorry. ^^;

[OmgZergetteDoodrun]

2:16 i love that pic :P

[welshdudess]

<3 this song

[sjsrs]

ive just finished listening. Trying to do some revsion questions at the same time. My pen wouldn't work so i shook it for a moment to get the ink running. The ink went everywhere at the exact moment he screams 'Seemed like a good idea at the time!' complete coincidence but very funny

[latiasandlatios4ever]

i was smoking weed and when i fell off my chair it said about the same sentence.. freaky..but true.

seems like a good idea but when you do it..well its a good idea but my ass hurts now.

[SasukeDracoNick]

Where did you find the one at 1:44 of paul and john? It's pretty hilarious

[Belzebub001]

I think somewhere on Photobucket.

[JaneEmma09]

love this video..nice one!!! :D

[familyportrait]

XD my response everytime i get hurt or detention XD

[avondale999]

It's a GREAT video!!!

[WolfChieftain]

dude the black really makes this vid unreliable in playlist terms

[ShamwowImitater]

everytime i get in trouble by my parents and they ask 'what the hell i was thinking' i tell them 'it seemed like a good idea at the time".

[Xelookiller]

The finish Is the Best :D

[kibadunno]

[Belzebub001]

Thanks, I made it. ^_^

[OneHotSingleBabe]

[w00tsville]

The penguin with the cymbals on top of the sleeping polar bear nearly made me pee myself

[FOBgreatband]

[iggle07]

[Nongamblerpokerfan]

[Belzebub001]

Yeah you're right, I like that one to. ^___^

[darlingnose]

what is UP with the two minutes of silence at the end!?

[whiteboi8707]

oh man, good stuff.

[skatergunshot]

i liked the jackass photos and the hobo with the sign that said need money for beer, pot, and hookers. (hey at least I'm not bullshittin you) that sign gets copied so many times.

[blackbrat]

in my opinion, most sideshow type videos suck horribly but this... this is awesome and makes me have to rethink my opinion. good job ^^

[Belzebub001]

Lol, thank you! :D

[melialovee]

haha ' i couldnt save myself'

cute duck pic [:

[thevenman]

Okay, normally Youtube slideshows bug me, but this one was quite well-done.

Hats off to you, good sir or madam.

[Gmaiiil]

No one can take a second to go look? It's madam.

But, yeah, good job.

[ChiefBunney]

[EvanMilesPayton]

[plankton90210]

That was damn near good enough to be an official Ok Go video... and that's about as high a piece of praise as I'm capable of giving. Excellent work!

[Belzebub001]

*smiles*

That really is the best comment you could give me, that makes my day. :D

Thanks for watching and the comment! ^-^

[maggie550]

hahaha omigosh love the video. awesome job!!

[catseatclowns]

I just heard that this is a line by line response to 'Sympathy for the Devil' by the Rolling Stones. Interesting.

[Belzebub001]

Really??

Hmmm...didn't know that. ^-^

Thanks for the comment!

[snazzypink1]

Yup, that's right. I wish somebody would make a video of the two songs so that they make sense as a conversation.

[catseatclowns]

The song is different especially compared to the style of the original I am not sure if it quites fits to me. But you are right I think an comparison video would be interesting.

[johnsmythe99]
