Slog - Comments on These Eighth Graders NAILED IT http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/01/these_8th_graders_nailed_it You may have thought the whole OK GO! treadmill dance thingy was over months ago—BUT YOU WERE WRONG. Because now four teeny-boppers have put together a DEAD-ON re-creation of "Here We Go Again" for their school talent show… and judging from the reaction of that crowd… they will never be unpopular again. WOW! It's like the grand finale of REVENGE OF THE NERDS!...

I was hoping one of them would eat it, but part of me is glad that they didn't.

The original video took days to work out under the guidance of one member's wife, a professional choreographer. I think their video was edited as well. These kids made it look far easier than it is. It's fucking difficult!

And considering Jamiroquai did all this 10 years ago makes these kids two degrees out on the uncreative, plaigarism bandwagon.

Ok, Go To Hell.

I can remember when the jocks were cool and ruled the school. I was varsity in three sports back in the 80s. We hosted the best parties and dated the "hottest babes". I can remember what a big deal it was to get a patch to add to the jacket. Everyone knew the significance of each little patch, each badge of honor, as you strutted down the halls or over to the gym for an assembly. What power! Sometimes a wayward non-conformist rebel would deface their letter jacket with a button depicting Van Halen, The Police or Duran Duran. Now THAT was a crazy alternative act of defiance!
