48: You Leave Me With My Jaw On the Floor

48. "Here It Goes Again" by OK Go {#38; 9/06} [Video: Here It Goes Again. (Just one of the most popular videos of the century.)]

This song has many things going for it:

*It's a good, upbeat song that is excellent for exercising.

*The video is one of the most clever and fun you'll see.

*My kids absolutely love this video! When Roni was little and I was at the computer, she would always ask to watch two videos, "Numbers," (Three Is a Magic Number) and "Dancing Guys," (this video.)

Before my first mac computer died, the video for this song had been viewed over 100 times. That's a lot of views for a video! And yet, I never got tired of it. It's a great song, and it's a great video.

By the way, the group OK Go most definitely has the highest batting average of any group in my entire iTunes collection. I only have two songs by OK Go in my iTunes, and both songs are not only in the HondoJoe Top 200, they are both in the HondoJoe Top 75!

Some of their other videos are great, too. The kids also really like the video for "White Knuckles," otherwise known as "The Dog Video."

I actually saw OK Go in concert once. Before I had ever heard of them, they opened for They Might Be Giants at the last TMBG concert I went to up at the University of Utah.
