Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma (with lyrics)

[writerspen010]

Without the oxford comma, one can't always tell the difference between a list and the existence of an appositive. Duh ._.

[alankeyns]

Lil john always tell the truth!

[HiddenStaircase22]

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, motherfucking fuckers fuck fuck fuck. Go ahead, try and bleep that out.

[greeneyes8D]

[whalewithay]

1:40 TO THE WINDOW, TO THE WALL--

Yeah, you probably know the rest, so I'll just leave this here...

[chilly771]

1:49 lil john like the rapper xD

[scootercoconut]

For those who don't know, an oxford comma is the comma that comes before the and when you list four or more things in a sentence. It is optional.

Example: "A-Punk, Holiday, Giving Up the Gun, and Oxford Comma are all songs by Vampire Weekend."

(The last comma is and oxford comma.)

[bthrkenny]

My 5 years old brother like to sing this song. He kno the lyrics without read it. haha. Vampire weekend rule.

[zombiebreanna]

Whoever disliked this obviously gave a fuck about oxford commas. d;

[MusicIsMyLove1997]

this is my faveorite song if theirs

[Jurgentomasson]

I always find it very sad when the word fuck is censored.

[PumpMyKicksBitch]

Love this song so much , its happy :3

[breeze785]

the lyric about lil jon cracks me up.

[nhseagle]

can someone please explain what this song actually means. i think i'm taking it too literally since i'm pretty sure no one would willingly write such an awesome song if it was only about punctuation...

[jadaskylar]

Wow. I've heard a little about this band, and they are good. Does anyone know about any of their recent songs?

[mitchellkarera]

Make the royalty check payable to: Jonathan Richman.

[MrFletcherrenn]

[HeyThereItsZoe]

Oxford Comma: The serial comma or series comma (also known as the Oxford comma or Harvard comma) is the comma used immediately before a grammatical conjunction (usually and or or, sometimes nor) preceding the final item in a list of three or more items

[rulosoto]

Why the FUCK you took that word off?

[daveLyons93]

Lil John always tells the truth... Horny Fucker!!!

[superbentin]

what does "oxford comma" mean?

- love this band :)

[axtells6]

@superbentin Example of an Oxford Comma:

Without: Popcorn, dinosaurs, and car keys.

With: Popcorn, dinosaurs and car keys.

[sarmobri]

@axtells6 i know it was an example but why would you need popcorn, dinosaurs or car keys at the same time.... oh i got it your at a drive in theater wathing a movie abought dinosaurs and you orderd popcorn!!! i get it lol

[kg132465]

seriously the taking out one word really messes up the flow of the song. its still good but just a spot with no vocals makes it soundbad :( still love the song though

[marielgs15]

this clean version annoys me

[shelbyyyyyyy0404]

@ejvols4 whoah. no need to call me a bitch, man. :|

[shelbyyyyyyy0404]

did you seriously just bleep out fuck? >:| great job for ruining a great song fasdfaw.

[ejvols4]

@shelbyyyyyyy0404 wow you're a bitch. this song is too good to be ruined by something so unimportant...

[seegfg]

what has this world come too!!! why does no body give a fuck about the oxford comma!!!! :p

[xxTaylaaaxx1]

Love this song -3

[HOWTOIDK]

Only cool bands sing about punctuations that barely any one know of - Oxford commas.

[Vantiser]

@HOWTOIDK the comma is just a metaphor

[bpfc7]

"i met the highest llama his acent sounded fine with me , to me " that line really spoke to me

[ItsThatMormonKid]

@bpfc7 hahah it really did.

[SpaceR1993]

I love this band ! I remember watching How I Met Your Mother with friends and this song comes on. I say "Whoa awesome! Vampire Weekend =D" They say what the hell kind of a band name is that. After that show, I ended up giving them all of Vampire Weekend's music xD

[iscr3amstudios]

[Edugan25]

[meesha1117]

actually, a "llama" is an animal. a "lama" is a monk.

[amazingrainbowfruit]

they are so freaking epic for refrencing to the windows to the wall from lil john. I love vampire weekend so much xD

[mssmileyballoon]

u spelled "lama" wrong!!!!! its llama

[meesha1117]

@mssmileyballoon it's spelled correctly--a "llama" is an animal, but here they're talking about a monk ("lama")

[idioticscheme666]

@mssmileyballoon thats not what he meant

[FearfullyFantastic]

 Thanks for censoring it, it's way better this way :].

[Dorito22590]

Saw them in concert on Saturday. Best. Day. Ever

[oakleysista]

saw them live yesterday. Pretty sure you all know what my day will consist of today; listening to them nonstop.

[beatlesbugmcsporran]

The first song by Vampire Weekend that I heard was "Jonathon Low" on the Twilight:Eclipse soundtrack. I started to type Oxford into YouTube to what came up (I want to go to Oxfrod Uni when I leave school) and decided to listen to this because I LOVE Vampire Weekend! I LOVE THIS SONG!

[Eirinn967]

What is an oxford comma anyway?

[updatedawsomeness]

@Eirinn967 it's the optional comma before end when you make a list.

Like "I want that, these, and those." 

[Eirinn967]

@updatedawsomeness I see lol I'm thick =(

[kittyMKZ]

[mirelurk1]

[bernhardlinde]

llama = double L at the beginning

neat song though

[mirelurk1]

@bernhardlinde its not describing the animal so it actually is only one L

[Rand0mzify]

NOw I'm sad. NO1 looked at my vid 4 the same thing.

if anyone was wondering: an oxford comma is the optional comma after the second to last noun in a list. dogs, cats, and hamsters vs. dogs, cats and hamsters.

[iloveunclet1]
