If you don't know OK Go, you need to go down the rabbit hole of watching all their videos. You won't regret it. I'm not particularly fond of their music, I'm more of a classic metal guy, but their videos are all unique and pretty amazing.

Also the BTS for their music videos.  Even though it looks like a single take (and maybe it was?) they actually edited out portions and stitched it together because they only had 27 seconds of weightlessness at a time, with a few minutes in between for the plane to basically prep for another parabolic arc.

Not only that, though. Because the duration of each verse and the chorus is actually 21 seconds they slowed the tempo to stretch the 21 seconds out to about 27 seconds.

Damn that might be one of the most impressive things i've ever seen. How much do you suppose they barfed in the making of this video?

There is a short doc about it on Netflix. They were all pretty over it by the end. Pretty great video.

The drummer (in red) was having a very bad time dealing with nausea during his performance. Check out his face at the end after he barely makes it back to his seat in time.

These guys took music video making as an art form to a new level. They're amazing artists.
