I’ve been a huge fan of The Go! Team for a few years now, and in addition to having an awesome band name, they put out some amazing music to write by. Some of their stuff has a more laid back ’60s vibe, and then there are tunes like Junior Kickstart. If I was running the show over at NBC, I would have thrown money hand over fist at these guys until they were forced to sell-out and let me use this very song to put together the greatest commercial for the summer Olympics of all time. For now, it suffices as a caffeine-free pick-me-up for the 3pm sleepies.
The Go! Team’s modern-day, live-action Mrs. Pacman video for Junior Kickstart will blow your mind with its mute humor. Truly, truly inspired stuff. It might be an overstatement to call it “the greatest thing ever,” but it basically is.
