Yeah for some reason embedded videos never show on mobile devices. Anyhow, awesome video but horrible music, definitely not geared towards the creative class we are trying to attract. It would be a great video for attracting families though.

Yikes. Most cities don't need to write songs about themselves in order to impress people.

[Snowman]

Where do they have this played? I am guessing some sort of conference.

[mcca7596]

It was on the "facebook page" of Mayor Cornett, and yes, it said it was debuted at the Chamber's annual meeting on the 8th.

You have to be kidding or just don't know what you're talking about. Cities everywhere produce videos with music included to promote themselves. I'm not saying this was the best video ever but it's not the worst either.

[Architect2010]

It's definitely not good.

[SkyWestOKC]

Meh. Not a country fan.

[BDP]

It's not bad. Not my taste, but not horrible. I thought showing Sunflower and Whole Foods was kind of an odd choice, but I think sometimes we think things are bigger deals than others do.

[Steve]

Not a fan of the video. It's another example of lazy "b-roll" use.

Yeah. It depends who this is directed towards. If it is for people in OKC then it's good to show those things, but if it is for a broader audience then a grocery store will not come across as impressive. In fact, people would probably wonder why there's a grocery store in the video???

I really don't want to watch the video cause so far, the jist of the conversation is leading me to believe it's about as bad as Cowboys 4Ever, where the prairie wind touches your skin...SMH.

Nah, not that bad. LOL

Of course they produce videos with music. This song, however, was clearly written for the video and even mentions "Oklahoma City" by name. Now that's kind of lame.

IC. So if you see a video promoting NYC that was written for the video and mentions NYC by name that makes it lame? I just don't understand that logic. I agree with others that this isn't a great video but not for that reason.

Touche. The main point I am making is it's a lame song and a lame video. The "Oklahoma City" part at the end only made it worse. Frank Sinatra and others can pull off a song about New York...Oklahoma City not so much.

[bombermwc]

yeah can't say i thought it was very good either...it's as much a music video for the singers as it is for okc. Plus they keep reusing footage from years ago...way to keep current. The last round of videos was WAAAY better.

[Doug Loudenback]

I liked it well enough, maybe even better than that.

[Reno and Walker]

Okay anytime i tell my Mother -in -law her food is pretty good I get in trouble, because she replies whats wrong with it.. So saying our city had a pretty good year may seem a bit cheezy..


Why not say we had a real Kicken A Year !!!! I am biased these 2 are friends of mine.. I will tell them to check out you alls comments,.. They probably know its a bit cheezy, but its a paying gig..

[metro]

But sloppy work and just good enough doesn't get repeat business......

Never mention that song again, please, for the love of god...
