OK Go

The dance-crazed boys of OK Go are taking advantage of their recent popularity by issuing a special edition of their 2005 album, Oh No.

The Nov. 7 Capitol release will include a full-length DVD that includes clips of the band and their amusing dance moves dating back to 2000, when they performed "C-C-C-Cinnamon Lips" on the Chicago cable television show, Chica-go-go.

The DVD will also feature the video for "A Million Ways," in which all four members dance in singer/guitarist Damian Kulash's backyard. EMI claims that the MTV Europe Music Award-nominated clip is the most downloaded music video in history. And, of course, there will be the ever-popular treadmill dance from "Here It Goes Again," which has received extensive airplay on TV and been viewed more than 10 million times on YouTube.com. Behind-the-scenes footage of the dance routine's creation are also part of the package.

An acoustic version of "What To Do," three public service announcements for The Federal Truth In Music Project, live versions of "Do What You Want" and "You're So Damn Hot," and tour footage add to the value. Some fans will also have a chance to see themselves on the DVD, as scenes shot at a dance booth that the band invited audience members to use while on tour in 2002 is also included.

OK Go contributed a cover of "Father Christmas" to Unaccompanied Minors, a film scheduled to arrive in theatres on Dec. 8. They'll also tape an appearance in the NBC TV series Las Vegas that will air in January.

The Chicago group embark on a North American headlining tour in Los Angeles on October 29. The only planned Canadian stop is at Toronto's Mod Club on November 13. The band will open a number of shows for Death Cab For Cutie in late November.
