This song has three official videos for it. Why, you might ask? I’m not particularly sure myself. But the one above isn’t the one I wanted up. This is the version I saw on the TV first so it has that extra sentimental value or whatever. The ‘tour’ version will have to do.

This is “Do What You Want”, a song by OK Go released as a single from their second album “Oh No” released in 2005. What a track this one is too. After seeing “A Million Ways” and being captivated by the band’s creative dance routine, I didn’t see anything from the band for a few months until this unexpectedly popped up in a random music chart on MTV2. It may have been in a “New Music” segment thing, but the memory’s a bit fuzzy.

I’ve never cared to think about what the song’s about. Not in a bad way; I’ve always liked the way it sounded. Really bright, with a clunky guitar riff and a smooth and deep bass line. Along with a nice positive message of doing what you want. It’s something to play at those parties where all you play is indie tunes. It’s bound to get some people on their feet. I’ve never been to any of those kinds of parties, so I wouldn’t know. Then the song was part of the soundtrack of Burnout Revenge, and it buried itself into my head that much more. Something about racing down the street and taking out cars at high speeds caused a proper adrenaline rush. This song, as well as the many others, made the experience so worthwhile. I should play that game again, I haven’t even completed it.

Enjoy the song.
