i was at this talent show, and know them personally. They practiced this for HOURS and hours, and honestly they got a few bruises out of it... but it was a great show, they put a lot of hard work in, and they won. They did a great job.
You have to remember that many of the kids at that school probably didn't even see the original, probably had their minds blown by these guys, not to say they didn't do an amazing job at it.
Something I just noticed is that not just that they did the work & dress the same, but they mouthed the words, every hand movement that was in the original they did. These high schoolers really did something great & they need to be recognized of it more than just this. I'm glad someone filmed it so we could all see this greatness. I'm also thankfully for the comparsion, though we can tell just by watching the high schoolers how hard they worked on this. To those guys, I say kudos.
Many other high schools in the U.S. have attempted to use this particular song and treadmill dance, but they can't seem to top the Granbury High group! Of course, the original is still the best, but the Granbury High group (in my opinion) should be considered the TRUE protege's to OK Go!
Great performance by OK go! But wow, what a super great performance by these kids. Hats off to them for the time and effort they put into this performance .
His blue shirt is what distracted me.. They nailed it and would have had to practice more as it is live. Good effort by the boys, must have worked so hard to get it that close.
It just occurred to me how lucky we are that someone at Granbury High had the presence of mind to get their performance on video. To whomever did that, we thank you.
Those kids did just as well as the original, if not better, considering they would have had the distraction of a live audience! Really something - by far the best knock-off of the original OK GO version I've seen so far. What must have been weeks and weeks of hard work has obviously paid off, so good on them! And the attention to detail with the costumes - truly fantastic :o)
When both groups do the head thing starting @ about 2:00, I get the impression they (OK Go and Granbury High) all worked this routine out together since day 1.
ok... OMFG. this is amazing. i mean i'm still so speachless and my mouth is wide open. ;o omg omg omg. now i'm jelous of those ppl who saw you live. PERFECT re-make!!!
@xdevildoc69 I agree but I think the reason is that "Ok go" only had to practice till it was good enough to show. The students had to do it well one particular run through so they probably practiced more.
Wow, very nice, perfectly timed allthough some parts were just a few seconds off, but other then that you guys worked hard and deserve lots of credit. ^.^
this is awesome, i love how those kids gave there time to watch this video time and time over time time to get it close to perfect. amazing job, lil hard to get it perfect
@254kenneth no, the other one has 6 too, its just that the angle of the cameria doesn't show the last two but if you count the number of front things (idk what theyre called) theres 6
I like how the guy in the pink shirt did all those little things in the real video. They must have really studied the whole dance, even the simple little things
That was so brilliant! That must've worked really hard to do it that well! They were just SLIGHTLY off from the original but I can't blame them. Good job!
i have to say thats probably one of the best covers of the dance that is on youtube! and its pretty amazing how they we're performing it live and they didnt mangage to screw it up!
WOW!!! Im surpised how close they were. I knew they were close but not that close. Timing was almost perfect and the dance moves were almost the same. Great job guys.
That. Is. AMAZING! American high schools must be so much fun. My school would NEVER have allowed that. I especially love how they even tried to match the outfits!!! Was it a talent contest or something? I hope they won with that!
Obviously, the kids were a little off-time occasionally, but for a high school production that's about as well as anyone could do it! I mean, DAMN! That's absolutely impressive!
@Blankkor thats what i thought also but theres actually 8. granbury's is taken from a slightly different angle. if you watched close enough you wouldve noticed that it would be impossible to do a couple of the moves with only 4 treadmills
I'm really impressed with the wardrobe! Ok Go wears such strange clothes in their videos it's amazing enough to find look-alikes. Of course the dancing is amazing as well.
@Bel1s my school would never have allowed this too. But in Germany (that's where I'm living) there are no talenmt contest or something like that. We only have boring lessons x__x
Wow. That was like almost exactly the same. They were a little off at times but basically the same. Really good. I would offer y'all a spot in the big times if y'all can sing and play the instruments too. Haha
that was pretty amazing. everything was at perfect timing! and all the details were awesome! like the shirt fixing at 2:02 with the head movements. and then when the kid did the head thing at 2:50. the only part off was the part when the two guys jumped up on the handle things and saluted,they did it a little too soon. but the rest of their performance definatly made up for it.
My best idea for finding that out is to go to a gym or find a treadmill, and get something to play the music. Since a lot of it is stepping in time to the beat, see how fast it can go without speeding off if you step in time to the music. That's what I'd do, anyway.
OMG its nearly the same they must of practiced really hard! Apart from that one small part were they went a little faster for half a minute, it was perfect. i couldnt have done it, well done!
The important thing to remember is that OK Go had as many tries as they want; the high school kids performed live and nailed it. THAT is impressive.
I think the band nailed it on the first take
@@louisegough8644 no OK Go had seventeen tries, while GBS had only one take
Supposedly the band took 17 takes
the band also did it live in front of audience later
i was at this talent show, and know them personally. They practiced this for HOURS and hours, and honestly they got a few bruises out of it... but it was a great show, they put a lot of hard work in, and they won. They did a great job.
They won? *AMAZING!*
Great for them!
оЧЕНЬ Рад)) спасибо что сказали)
These kids'll be at their 10 year reunion next year.
5 years ago now
@@LuaNub A billion years from now, they'll have been at their ten-year reunion a billion and five years ago.
17 year reunion now.
Nearly 20 now!
@Black_Caucus Unbelievable

To those guys, I say kudos.
Dedication!
The only difference is that the audience in Granbury are screaming
And also in GHS the kid doing Dan’s parts had a blue shirt instead of rather than a gray shirt
Many other high schools in the U.S. have attempted to use this particular song and treadmill dance, but they can't seem to top the Granbury High group!
Of course, the original is still the best, but the Granbury High group (in my opinion) should be considered the TRUE protege's to OK Go!
Great performance by OK go! But wow, what a super great performance by these kids. Hats off to them for the time and effort they put into this performance .
That was so awesome. Wonder if the band knows about this video
His blue shirt is what distracted me.. They nailed it and would have had to practice more as it is live. Good effort by the boys, must have worked so hard to get it that close.
Actually at about a min. there is a well known error one of the band mates makes that Granbury nails :p
It just occurred to me how lucky we are that someone at Granbury High had the presence of mind to get their performance on video. To whomever did that, we thank you.
I didn't realize until this video the clothes were similar.
I remember that lol and after I left I heard something caught on fire . They were the best in our talent show that year
шИКАРНЫЙ СИНХРОН!)!)!)
СПАСИБО ЧТО ЭТО СДЕЛАЛИ)!))!)!) И ТАК ДАВНО) ВЫ ПРЕКРАСНЫ))
Omg.. can't believe this song was 13 yrs ago.. Let's see.. The Myspace days. Good times..good times.
*OK Go versus Granbury High*
Found this again after not seeing it for a couple of years. Just fantastic!
Those kids did just as well as the original, if not better, considering they would have had the distraction of a live audience! Really something - by far the best knock-off of the original OK GO version I've seen so far. What must have been weeks and weeks of hard work has obviously paid off, so good on them! And the attention to detail with the costumes - truly fantastic :o)
+1 to Granbury, at 1:00 Damian trips and the HS kid doesn't.
It's the best one I have seen on UA-cam. From the moves to the costumes. These kids deserve that comparison.
Congrats on a Great performance, gentlemen. You guys rocked!!! Something you can share with your kids.
When both groups do the head thing starting @ about 2:00, I get the impression they (OK Go and Granbury High) all worked this routine out together since day 1.
oh my goodness...i thought they were good before ,but this takes it to another level...those guys totally deserved a standing ovation (long version)!
If only I could convince the managers at my gym to put 8 treadmills together. . .
Where are these kids today? It would be do cool to see a reunion. Did OKGO ever see that talent show video?
Amazing in terms of accuracy. I bet the original band is proud :p
I love how they dress just like them lol- they didn't almost trip either! lol this is so good i cant even believe it lol
Bloody hell, those guys were absolutely wonderful. Big hand! Superb! I knew these chaps were great but how wonderful! WOW!
i've been here for the past 17 years
ok... OMFG. this is amazing. i mean i'm still so speachless and my mouth is wide open. ;o omg omg omg. now i'm jelous of those ppl who saw you live. PERFECT re-make!!!
I love both and it is great to have them side by side. I would have been screaming with the kids!
@xdevildoc69
I agree but I think the reason is that "Ok go" only had to practice till it was good enough to show. The students had to do it well one particular run through so they probably practiced more.
awesome video! i found the granbury vid a while back and its so cool to watch them side by side. THanks for uploading this! :)
Thanks for doing this you did a great job putting this video together Those kids deserve the fame. Awesome!
SoleAngelus -- thank you SO MUCH for putting this together!!! I was so sure granbury was spot on, but how to prove it?
You DID! You're awesome.
Incredible! Just freaking amazing. Most exact replica of that video I've ever seen. Instant Favorite! Instant Classic! Kudos, and Bravo!
VERY IMPRESSIVE!! They achieved perfection in one live "take."
OMG, those kids were so awesome!! XD I hope they know it
i saw this last year... great performance! never imagined to see it on youtube!
Wow, very nice, perfectly timed allthough some parts were just a few seconds off, but other then that you guys worked hard and deserve lots of credit. ^.^
Legit! Love it! I wonder if the guys from ok go will contact them or anything. They should because that was commitment and true to the band :D
That was friggin awesome guys. Great job. Original video brought me here
For two years, i've always wonder how long did to take for the high school to learn and remember this. But love this!
THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! i can't even believe how talented you guys are! (both ok go and the high school dudes) amazing!!
NAILED IT.
I swear... that was the coolest thing ever. lol.
All the practice that must have went into that... wow.
Great work!
the thing about the high school performance was it was live. they did a hell of a job.
I just hope I get to ever have that kind of fun. Looks like it was a total blast.
Watching both of them. I liked the Granbury High School guys better.
Damn, I hope they were the last act, imagine going on after these guys' performance.
Thank you! I was just gonna do that with my computer, but you did it for me.
Wow, theyre amazingggg!
Daaaaaaaang. I had no idea it was executed so perfectly!
Wouldn't it be funny if the guys from the imitation jumped on the band's treadmills and vice versa?
Wow! The high schoolers were a little fast, but I think that was the most amazing talent show act I've ever seen. Hope they got 1st place.
Its great that the kids could recreate it and it's awesome for you to put them side by side.
Thanks. :)
I want to learn !!! You are great guys!!!
Greeting from Costa Rica!!
Great work guys. you got out of sinc but you got back on track and it was great. GOOD WORK!!
this is awesome, i love how those kids gave there time to watch this video time and time over time time to get it close to perfect. amazing job, lil hard to get it perfect
Amazing that they memorized this and performed it so well! Loved it!
@254kenneth no, the other one has 6 too, its just that the angle of the cameria doesn't show the last two but if you count the number of front things (idk what theyre called) theres 6
i just watched the highschool one and this video popped up. amazing thanks for this :) *favourite
Omg they were phenomenal! The little guy with the black hair and pink shirt dd his part amazingly. Ahhh so amazing!
I like how the guy in the pink shirt did all those little things in the real video.
They must have really studied the whole dance, even the simple little things
Wow~~ you guys did an amazing job! I love the original video, and this version is fabulous too!!
That was so brilliant! That must've worked really hard to do it that well! They were just SLIGHTLY off from the original but I can't blame them. Good job!
i have to say thats probably one of the best covers of the dance that is on youtube! and its pretty amazing how they we're performing it live and they didnt mangage to screw it up!
Great job guys. A couple of parts where the Granbury boys were a bit fast, but overall a fantastic performance...
Ok Go should invite these guys to perform at one of their shows or something, they're like in perfect sync lol u can really tell these kids practiced
Vid on left shows fy in red and white trip at around 1:00. Then vid at right shows guy in black coat trip at 2:40. Both,have similar flaws
WOW!!! Im surpised how close they were. I knew they were close but not that close. Timing was almost perfect and the dance moves were almost the same. Great job guys.
Why did I Remember this Music in Chuck E. Cheese's Commercial By Sevenhotwings Commercial Uploaded in December 2006
wow this is pretty awesome, they got all the sequences spot on, nice job!
Forgot about this. One of my favorite school memories!
I get the feeling that while it must've taken a while to perfect, this must have been really fun.
That. Is. AMAZING! American high schools must be so much fun. My school would NEVER have allowed that. I especially love how they even tried to match the outfits!!! Was it a talent contest or something? I hope they won with that!
Obviously, the kids were a little off-time occasionally, but for a high school production that's about as well as anyone could do it!
I mean, DAMN! That's absolutely impressive!
it looked exactly perfect except for the part where they went a little faster for about ten seconds. that looked AWESOME! good job!!:)
@Blankkor thats what i thought also but theres actually 8. granbury's is taken from a slightly different angle. if you watched close enough you wouldve noticed that it would be impossible to do a couple of the moves with only 4 treadmills
So COOL
OMFG!!! That is seriously amazing!!!!! My jaw was on the frickin floor. Encore!!!! :)
I'm really impressed with the wardrobe! Ok Go wears such strange clothes in their videos it's amazing enough to find look-alikes. Of course the dancing is amazing as well.
@InvaderPsych1
They actually get back in time when they do the jazz hands thing behind eachother
@Bel1s my school would never have allowed this too. But in Germany (that's where I'm living) there are no talenmt contest or something like that. We only have boring lessons x__x
that was awesome :D
they got a bit out, but pulled it together really well :)
and they got all the little details in, even the costumes matched ^^,
you guys even dressed the same! amazing!
dude, holy crap, the timing is so alined, thats so freak'e thats it soo insanily AwesomE! Dang yo, man thats so tight
2:34 I love the gliding parts the most
eh, so what. It was still epic how perfectly timed it was! What's a few seconds difference? I loved it! :]
And ok go is the shiz.
Wow. That was like almost exactly the same. They were a little off at times but basically the same. Really good. I would offer y'all a spot in the big times if y'all can sing and play the instruments too. Haha
such a perfect cover ! congratulations ! I bet they won the talent show ! :D
Amazing, great job guys! You obviously worked hard and the results are spectacular.
Awesome guys. So cool. You guys tread the mill right outta that treadmill.
Holy Crap! You Are My One And Only Inspiration!
1:00 on the right he almost falls! on the left he does :)!
WOW!! That was unbelievably good!! The length of time it must ave taken them to learn the whole thing, that good...
that was pretty amazing. everything was at perfect timing!
and all the details were awesome! like the shirt fixing at 2:02 with the head movements. and then when the kid did the head thing at 2:50.
the only part off was the part when the two guys jumped up on the handle things and saluted,they did it a little too soon. but the rest of their performance definatly made up for it.
@MultiTobyProductions Exactly! How did they get 8 treadmills for a talent show?! XD
My best idea for finding that out is to go to a gym or find a treadmill, and get something to play the music. Since a lot of it is stepping in time to the beat, see how fast it can go without speeding off if you step in time to the music.
That's what I'd do, anyway.
OMG its nearly the same they must of practiced really hard! Apart from that one small part were they went a little faster for half a minute, it was perfect. i couldnt have done it, well done!
it was great...they were so close
but the highschool guys sped up after a while
but still amazing job i couldve never done it
Granbury, dayum!!!!! You did AMAZING!!! I wish I was in the audience, sounds like they loved it too
