OK Go – Here it Goes Again

Well, after about three months (he would say more) my dear husband finally convinced me to blog again. He asked this morning, “Wasn’t there a video you wanted to blog about a while ago… I can’t remember… Yeah, that’s the one.” He knows how to push my buttons.

The video is the one you hear on half a dozen commercials. Every time I do, I get excieted because I think the song is actually coming on and am dissapointed when I realize it’s only a shoe/Ipod commercial. :S

I suppose it’s too soon to call them a one hit wonder, but there are actually a few songs out by them and an album or two. And I also found that the lead singer of this song isn’t actually the
regular lead singer. But hey, whatever works.

Now back to the song itself. I love this song. It makes me want to work out, ironically. And every time I see the video I think, “Man, this was the lowest budget video. I mean all they needed was a dance coordinator, a couple of tread mills and a big sheet of silver paper for the backdrop. Wow it’s great!”

Here it Goes Again by OK Go

It could be ten, but then again, I can’t remember half an hour since a quarter to four.
Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa, and you leave me with my jaw on the floor.
Just when you think you’re in control,
just when you think you’ve got a hold,
just when you get on a roll,
here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
I should have known,
should have known,
should have known again,
but here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
It starts out easy, something simple, something sleazy, something inching past the edge of the reserve.
Now through lines of the cheap venetian blinds your car is pulling off of the curb.
Just when you think you’re in control,
just when you think you’ve got a hold,
just when you get on a roll,
here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
I should have known, should have known,
should have known again,
but here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
I guess there’s got to be a break in the monotony, but Jesus, when it rains how it pours.
Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa, and you leave me, yeah, you leave me.
Oh, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again.
Oh here it goes again.
I should have known, should have known,
should have known again,
but here it goes again.
Oh, here it goes again.
