VW Beetle: 3 Track feat. Walk off the Earth

A bunch of peeps, a Beetle car and three versions of one song. It can only be a new video from band Walk off the Earth.

The double Platinum-selling Canadians, also known for the 150 million views they garnered on YouTube for their 5 Peeps 1 Guitar cover of the Gotye song, Somebody That I Used To Know, collaborated with Volkswagen Canada to release a new, interactive music video for their latest single, Gang of Rhythm. Only instead of all sharing a single guitar, this time they play a Volkswagen Beetle. 

The interactive version of the video, created by Red Urban agency with Untitled Films, can be viewed on YouTube and features three different versions of the song, in three different locations, with three different models of The Beetle. Buttons in the video let viewers seamlessly jump between locations and songs, making it a three-in-one interactive experience. Each song version has its own distinct feel, inspired by a different Beetle model. One is a more soulful, acoustic rendition to go with The Super Beetle; another is an instrumental version, featuring soaring, electric guitars, matching The Beetle GSR; and a third pairs musical instruments with real car sounds, recorded and looped from The Beetle Convertible. 

Filmed over the course of two days in Toronto and Cobourg, Ontario, the three videos place the band in a salt shed, a tunnel, and on a pier. In the version of the video shot on the pier, the band again demonstrates their creative musicianship by playing various parts of the Beetle like musical instruments. All three videos were directed by renowned music video director Wendy Morgan of Untitled and were edited by Dave de Carlo at Rooster Post.
