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. Many thanks to Chevy for believing in and supporting such an insane and ambitious project, and to Gretsch for providing the guitars and amps.

  • 3:51 "Did we get it?"

    "No The Lens Cap was on." :D

    In a world of free music, iTunes still amazes me. How does a program that makes you pay money for music stay in the business for so long?

    I figured it out. This is one of the few Music Video's I would actually buy on iTunes.

  • Jesus Titty Fucking Christ. These guys need WAAAAYYYY more recognition than they get!!!

    People in Africa could use those pianos and guitars!

    Stop the waste!

  • But you can download this video...theres lot of youtube downloading programs...even in full hd...you dont have to buy it....its wasting of money...

  • 20million views is quite a lot, and i'm sure it expands past youtube.

  • this was a super bowl commercial. the whole country saw this music video. i'd say that's enough recognition for anyone.

  • didn't that car brake? Man this vid is amezing!!

  • crazy vid!!

  • A few years ago, I thought they would never top the "Here It Goes Again" video, but every time they come out with a new one, it's better than the one before.

  • That's pretty freaking sweet, although I can't imagine how much work and precision it took to set it up though XD Very cool and creative

  • Imagine being in the vehicle at the time :)
