OK Go

It still trails ”˜Jizz in My Pants’ for YouTube clicks, but OK Go’s 48-million-served ”˜Here It Goes Again’ made it hard to imagine the Chicago quartet beyond treadmill choreography and geek-boy casual wear.

The single ”˜WTF?’ conjures vintage Prince, all breathless falsetto and bone-dry “Kiss” guitar; there are tweaked Sixties AM-radio melodies and flashes of quiet soul. But it’s mostly a psychedelic, smarty-pants dance party; no gym machines necessary.
