OK Go: Do What You Want (Wallpaper Version)

While we were all a little overexposed to OK Go’s treadmill finesse, a little trip to YouTube (or TRL) may still be in order to view the group’s latest video, “Do What You Want (Wallpaper Version).” I don’t think this offering quite matches up to treadmill video (then again, what could), but I am interested in finding out if anything’s behind the similarity of the video’s concept and color scheme when compared to Banksy’s controversial painted elephant (shown at the artist’s Barely Legal exhibition in L.A.). I don’t know whether to call it a coincidence, a collaboration, or blatant imitation, but the red and gold paisley print, along with the camouflage motif (shown after the jump)… is certainly not as original as playing hopscotch on gym equipment. What’s the story, OK Go?
