The band OK Go is primarily known for their innovative music videos. They've done videos on treadmills, wrapped in wallpaper, in a Rube Goldberg machine, with a marching band, with frame stacking, laser-cut toast, a stack of printers, on plexiglass, in a race car, using optical illusions, with high-speed photography, and in a reduced gravity aircraft.

I wanted to see how Stable Diffusion would interpret the lyrics of their songs. I limited it to the singles from each album. I submitted one verse at a time, including the chorus. When necessary, I omitted repeated lines to stay within character limits. I accepted the first output unless it had objectionable content or had gross anatomical distortions (e.g., extra fingers, two right hands, etc.).

Maybe I'll get lucky and the band will notice this and it will inspire their next wacky (and awesome) video!
