Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. OK Go's Damian Kulash (singer/guitarist) met Tim Nordwind (bassist) at an art camp when they were 11. Tim went for the music, but Damian went for another subject. Which?

Answer: Graphic design; someone needs to design the t-shirts

The two original band members met over a game of Ping Pong, in which Damian was victorious. After the camp was over, they remained in contact, sending each other mixtapes. They would meet OK Go's original lead guitarist/keyboardist Andy Duncan in high school and drummer Dan Konopka in college. The band officially formed in 1998.

Answer: Andy Ross

Andy Ross was chosen out of roughly thirty five musicians that auditioned for the band. Ross is also a co-founder for Serious Business Records.

Answer: C-C-C-Cinnamon Lips

Their success on the radio show and their relationship with the up-and-coming band They Might Be Giants influenced the band to release their first album, "OK Go".

4. OK Go hit it big in Britain with what single, reaching number 21 on UK Singles Chart in 2002?

Answer: Get Over It

"Get Over It", off of the band's self-titled debut album, also hit number 20 on Hot Modern Rock Tracks. "Don't Ask Me" was also released as a single but failed to chart anywhere. Too bad, I like that song better.

Answer: Damian Kulash

The band performed the elaborate dance routine live at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards. The video won awards at the 2007 Grammys for "Best Short Form Music Video" and at the 2006 YouTube Awards for "Most Creative Video".

Answer: This Will Be Our Year

"This Will Be Our Year" is a cover of the song by The Zombies, off of their critically acclaimed album "Odessey and Oracle". The Zombies were one of the many influences on OK Go. All the songs listed as possible answers were off the album "Odessey and Oracle".

7. Where did a ridiculous band name like OK Go even come from?

Answer: An art teacher

According to an interview, the band name comes from an art teacher at the art camp that Damian and Tim went to (as mentioned above). The teacher would say "ok... go!" for the kids to start drawing.

8. What soccer team did OK Go write a fight song for?

Answer: Chicago Fire

The song was available for download on the team's official website. The band is originally from Chicago, Illinois.

9. The hit single "Here it Goes Again" mentions the name of what album in its lyrics?

Answer: Surfer Rosa

"Throw on your clothes, the second side of 'Surfer Rosa', and you leave me with my jaw on the floor"

"Just when you think that you're in control, just when you think you've got a hold!'

Sorry, got carried away there. "Surfer Rosa" is the name of the popular album by American alternative rock band the Pixies. This album is frequently cited as being the Pixie's best, and being a major influence on the incredible work of Kurt Cobain (singer/guitarist for the band Nirvana). It is ranked number 315 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

Answer: You're Not Alone

"You're Not Alone" was recorded with Bonerama in August 2007. The EP featured OK Go and Bonerama performing three songs from "Oh No" ("A Million Ways", "Oh Lately It's So Quiet", and "It's a Disaster") and two covers ("Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" and "I Shall Be Released"). It was released on February 5, 2008.

OK Go has finally received the spotlight they deserve thanks to singles like "Here it Goes Again" and "A Million Ways". Of course, don't forget their other songs found on their two studio albums "OK Go" and "Oh No". Think you can handle their music? OK Go and listen to them!
