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.
I saw that too, but it is still one of the best performances.. I've seen other videos trying to remake the music video and none of them top Granbury's performance.. They practiced hard and were the only ones that came close to looking like the band and, in my opinion, did the exact moves from the music video unlike other remakes that either omitted or changed some of the moves.
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.
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)
Gransbury High School rocks! They are so in sync with the original music video! However, there's just a fast pace when the jumping sequences start but other than that, awesome remake! These guys will always be at the top! I wonder what happened to them..
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.
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.
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!!!
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. ^.^
@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.
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
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!
I really hoped they'd worked that in, everyone loves that little trip. It's like a beauty mark, a fascinating spot on a canvass of perfection. ... Um, yeah.
@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'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.
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... they did a great job. They are pretty in sync with the original (except a few point where they sped up, but then they caught up). I'm impressed!
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
It's kinda funny...at 1:02, if you notice the guy with the red(hot pink?) pant in the original video loses his balance but the kid in the "remake" has no problem...lol. This is awesome!
@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
yeah i just noticed near the end when they're kicking their legs up, they got up too quickly, but i think its because they didn't want to get stepped on to, so perfection is yours!
@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
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!
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.

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
I saw that too, but it is still one of the best performances.. I've seen other videos trying to remake the music video and none of them top Granbury's performance.. They practiced hard and were the only ones that came close to looking like the band and, in my opinion, did the exact moves from the music video unlike other remakes that either omitted or changed some of the moves.
Not a single detail was spared, even the readjusting of the jacket was included.
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.
That was so awesome. Wonder if the band knows about this video
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 .
I didn't realize until this video the clothes were similar.
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
I remember that lol and after I left I heard something caught on fire . They were the best in our talent show that year
*OK Go versus Granbury High*
Found this again after not seeing it for a couple of years. Just fantastic!
+1 to Granbury, at 1:00 Damian trips and the HS kid doesn't.
Omg.. can't believe this song was 13 yrs ago.. Let's see.. The Myspace days. Good times..good times.
Bloody hell, those guys were absolutely wonderful. Big hand! Superb! I knew these chaps were great but how wonderful! WOW!
If only I could convince the managers at my gym to put 8 treadmills together. . .
Congrats on a Great performance, gentlemen. You guys rocked!!! Something you can share with your kids.
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!

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
Amazing in terms of accuracy. I bet the original band is proud :p
awesome video! i found the granbury vid a while back and its so cool to watch them side by side. THanks for uploading this! :)
I love both and it is great to have them side by side. I would have been screaming with the kids!
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)!
VERY IMPRESSIVE!! They achieved perfection in one live "take."
It's the best one I have seen on CZcams. From the moves to the costumes. These kids deserve that comparison.
the thing about the high school performance was it was live. they did a hell of a job.
Wouldn't it be funny if the guys from the imitation jumped on the band's treadmills and vice versa?
Damn, I hope they were the last act, imagine going on after these guys' performance.
That was friggin awesome guys. Great job. Original video brought me here
Thanks for doing this you did a great job putting this video together Those kids deserve the fame. Awesome!
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.
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!!!
Omg they were phenomenal! The little guy with the black hair and pink shirt dd his part amazingly. Ahhh so amazing!
I just hope I get to ever have that kind of fun. Looks like it was a total blast.
amazing!
same outfits and everything ahah
love love love it :)
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
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. ^.^
Forgot about this. One of my favorite school memories!
Thank you! I was just gonna do that with my computer, but you did it for me.
Wow, theyre amazingggg!
Incredible! Just freaking amazing. Most exact replica of that video I've ever seen. Instant Favorite! Instant Classic! Kudos, and Bravo!
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.
@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.
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
If you haven't heard of the treadmill thing or seen the treadmill dance, you wouldn't which one would be the original since they're both soo good
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!
i just watched the highschool one and this video popped up. amazing thanks for this :) *favourite
The Granby kids are too adoreable. I joked with a friend, "That would be my kid, flunking math to learn this dance for Talent day."
For two years, i've always wonder how long did to take for the high school to learn and remember this. But love this!
Great work guys. you got out of sinc but you got back on track and it was great. GOOD WORK!!
Wow~~ you guys did an amazing job! I love the original video, and this version is fabulous too!!
I really hoped they'd worked that in, everyone loves that little trip. It's like a beauty mark, a fascinating spot on a canvass of perfection.
...
Um, yeah.
I cannot even imagine what legends this must have made them in their school.
Its great that the kids could recreate it and it's awesome for you to put them side by side.
Thanks. :)
I swear... that was the coolest thing ever. lol.
All the practice that must have went into that... wow.
Great work!
I want to learn !!! You are great guys!!!
Greeting from Costa Rica!!
@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
Love how the guy on the right pulls up his shirt in sync @2:03
Daaaaaaaang. I had no idea it was executed so perfectly!
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.
wow this is pretty awesome, they got all the sequences spot on, nice job!
1:02; the guy from OK GO almost falls (Red Pants) but the High School kid did that move perfect. Hats off!
OMG, those kids were so awesome!! XD I hope they know it
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.
Wow they were pretty much exactly the same except for a few minor time differences in places! That's amazing!
you guys even dressed the same! amazing!
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!
Why did I Remember this Music in Chuck E. Cheese's Commercial By Sevenhotwings Commercial Uploaded in December 2006
That is AMAZING. They really watched that video, looking at all the little moves. Unbelievable.
Awesome!!!!! This just made my day :)
Wow... they did a great job. They are pretty in sync with the original (except a few point where they sped up, but then they caught up). I'm impressed!
it looked exactly perfect except for the part where they went a little faster for about ten seconds. that looked AWESOME! good job!!:)
really good guys i don't know how many times i already watched ur video haha
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
dude, holy crap, the timing is so alined, thats so freak'e thats it soo insanily AwesomE! Dang yo, man thats so tight
OMFG!!! That is seriously amazing!!!!! My jaw was on the frickin floor. Encore!!!! :)
That they do the shirt pulling and looks too; epic!
@InvaderPsych1
They actually get back in time when they do the jazz hands thing behind eachother
just like 13igbizzle, i was amazed with the shirt tug.
So authentic
Holy Crap! You Are My One And Only Inspiration!
It's kinda funny...at 1:02, if you notice the guy with the red(hot pink?) pant in the original video loses his balance but the kid in the "remake" has no problem...lol. This is awesome!
You guys truly are AWESOME!!
legendary.
Those 4 dudes will be the OK GO dudes at their 20th H.S. Reunion.
They'll mention that video at their funerals.
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
@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
I still find this completely entertaining to watch! Those kids dd a great job!!!
Amazing, great job guys! You obviously worked hard and the results are spectacular.
Dude the high school kids did an awesome job of getting that close. That was awesome!
damn that is almost spot on perfect :O AMAZING!! X)
yeah i just noticed near the end when they're kicking their legs up, they got up too quickly, but i think its because they didn't want to get stepped on to, so perfection is yours!
@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
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!
Whoa! This is amazing!! Great job guys!!
~Red
These kids probably have their own kids in school, but this is something they can always be proud of!
