Build your own setlist
Boredom can sometimes lead to creativeness.
Imagine you have complete control over OK Go's next setlist, what songs would you choose?
Restrictions:
1. You can only choose 20 songs (covers may be used)
Here is the setlist I would love to see live:
Invincible
White Knuckles
Bye Bye Baby
Aren't We Dozy?
End Love
There's A Fire
Oh Lately It's So Quiet
1000 Miles an Hour
It's a Disaster
Last Leaf
Get Over It
It's Tough To Have A Crush
We Dug a Hole
I Want You So Bad I Can't Breathe
Needing/Getting
Crash The Party
This Too Shall Pass
Encore:
Television Television
Skyscrapers
Unrequited Orchestra of Locomotion
Now it's your turn. Have at!
Comments

1) down for the count !!!!! (thingamaboop would be GREAT on this song!!!)
2) oh my little kitten
3) white knuckles
4) DWYW
5) HIGA
6) Television Television
7) c-c-c-cinnamon lips
8) it's tough to have a crush
9) end love
10) Clementine
11) in the glass
12) what to do (not on handbells, do not get me wrong I love them, but I want to hear the rocking full version live)
13) Jeopardy (cover) (Greg Kihn band, if you don't know it here it is in all its gorgeous 80s splendor) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....re=related
14) the fix is in
15) two of us (Beatles cover) an homage to Damian and Tim's longstanding friendship
16) crash the party
17) Rock-N-Roll Suicide (Bonerama must be present, yes)
18) a million ways
19) the house wins
20) EDIT - Pop Life (Prince)
I can't come up with a proper list right now, I haven't got that many free hours to fantasize. However, I wanted to commend the choices of cover songs so far (I was listening to Greg Kihn recently, and not that you mention it, it would be fabulous from OK Go!). Also "Two of Us"- If that one ever happens, I want a front row seat!
Not being familar with the setlist histories, I'm unsure what Cheap Trick songs the band has done. Can someone enlighten me. Because I could probably fill half this 20 with Cheap Trick covers I want to hear OK Go do!
"Pop Life" is a great choice for a Prince cover. I'm thinking I'd put my vote on "17 Days", though.
Good idea ^^ 17 days is the sh*t!!
I hope they add some more shows this fall, I'm sure they will. Last fall was amazing, with all of the little tiny venues in little tiny towns in the middle of nowhere. I'm not counting on that happening again, sadly
Good idea, Becky.
I'm taking 21 songs, because this setlist would have people in such a frenzy of happiness that they'd have to play an extra.
1) The House Wins (I think this is a GREAT opener)
2) Needing/Getting
3) No Sign of Life (if I didn't include this, Adam would be mad at me)
4) It's Tough to Have a Crush (if I didn't include this, I would be mad at me)
5) 1000 MPH (seriously, one of the sweetest songs they've ever done)
6) White Knuckles (it's dance time again)
7) Don't Ask Me
8) All is Not Lost
9) Crash the Party
10) Oh Lately it's So Quiet
11) AntMusic (it's classic covers time, and if I didn't include this Adam would kill me)
12) Hold the Line (same, except this is my favorite OK Go classic cover)
13) Back from Katmandu
14) You're So Damn Hot (do the "oh" Damian. For me. Just this once.)
15) There's a Fire (hearing this live back at the Downtown in '03 was probably the moment I became an OK Go fan)
16) Return
17) Last Leaf
18) This Too Shall Pass (because with the last two being back-to-back we'll all be sobbing uncontrollably)
19) WTF?
20) Unrequited Orchestra of Locomotion (I almost left this out, but then I saw it in Becky's list and it had to be included)
21) Do What You Want (because it's the best closer they have, and I can't imagine the show ending any other way)

oh wait it's not
Dream Playlist:
'PLAY EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
HEHEHE
OKAY, but seriously, it would take me hours to build this. the only thing I know for sure is 'Louisiana Land' would be included (you know me, xoxo) and of course
oh my little kitten.
Haha.
It'd take me forever to build one, too. It's so hard to choose, especially if you're like me and your favorite song changes with your mood.
I will sit down someday and put some serious thought into this... someday... someday. Maybe during break in December... I WILL do it, though.
(Someone should totally get on my back about doing this, haha)
