Wednesday Video Spotlight: The Ngheims’ and Kyle Roberts’ “Dum Dum Dah Dah” makes Jivewired’s top 10 videos of 2011

For instance, the video was ranked No. 1 on Jivewired top videos of 2011 list. Here’s part of what the site had to say about the video:

The song also appears on Jivedwire’s favorite songs of 2011.
Back in the fall, Kyle and lead singer David Nghiem sat down with NewsOK video host Angi Bruss to talk about the making of the video, and David capped it off by performing the song in our NewsOK studios:
