This Too Shall Pass - CEC LAW and OK GO (Frankenstein Version)

OK GO mystified me with their Rube Goldberg machine This Too Shall Pass music video:

It inspired me to re-imagine the song. I sang and played guiter. Lawrence August added everything else and mixed it: http://www.facebook.com/lawrenceaugust

I then Frankensteined the music together with these videos:

and this greenscreen footage from the OKGO official website: http://www.okgo.net/2010/01/20/wtf-video-remix-project/

This is the official website for Synn Labs, the company that helped make the vision a reality:

These are the found lyrics:

You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down
And you can't keep draggin' that dead weight around.
If there ain't all that much to lug around,
Better run like hell when you hit the ground.

When the morning comes.
When the morning comes.

You can't stop these kids from dancin'.
Why would you want to?
Especially when you're already gettin' yours.
'Cause if your mind don't move and your knees don't bend,
well don't go blamin' the kids again.

When the morning comes.
When the morning comes
When the morning comes.
When the morning comes.

Let it go, this too shall pass.
Let it go, this too shall pass.
Let it go, this too shall pass.
Let it go, this too shall pass.

When the morning comes.
When the morning comes.
When the morning comes.
When the morning comes.

You never cease to amaze. Well done!

Thank you so much. After making this video, I went back to continue reading the book where I left it off and a few pages later noticed it discussing the meaning of 'This too shall pass.' This remake was meant to be.

You are a powerful poetess, one which Dr. Suess himself would feel proud to call his own if you were his child. His ghost will be adopting you shortly. Thank you for the comment by the way
