When it comes to popular music, I’m a few decades behind, but I do pay some attention to music videos. So while I don’t really follow the music of the band OK Go, I do know their videos play a lot with physical comedy, and I couldn’t help wonder why. Did one of the performers have a weakness for our favorite form of merriment, or was it a particular choreographer or director they were working with?
