After they released a newer, more bad-ass, embeddable version (complete with a Rube Goldberg machine) with the help of State Farm, OK Go waved bye-bye to EMI — but not before their video went wildly viral. Whew. It’s been quite a year, huh, boys?Well, now you can sit back, relax and cradle your new Webby while watching the above video, which pays homage to my favorite childhood game — Mousetrap.
