Vampire Weekend - "Mansard Roof"

[norecess10]

listening to vampire weekend is like walking into the country club, ordering a Pabst Blue Ribbon and smoking a Lucky Strike

[Maka1993]

Why is this so awesome?!

[19amf95]

i like the jean-luc godard tribute!

[daftrhetoric]

This video is hilarious.

[jrussellawesome]

these guys are badass, they robbed a GAP store

[CazeeOfficial]

177 Argentines collapsed in defeat

[MusicMrsLove]

i remembered my american teacher/friend played this in his office.

oh the memories......

[spiderpunk100]

the drums in this song are awesome!!!

[Miaify11]

<3

[TheMiwaro]

these guys have the potential to be like the beatles...which is obviously sayin a lot....and possibly too much

[74jmac]

Boats and Hoes

[TheRaysfan22]

@74jmac lol the next song on their album is the song from step brothers

[74jmac]

@TheRaysfan22 Yes I know that ha. That comment was made because their on a boat in the movie and Vampire Weekend is on a boat in this song.

[SailorPeach5]

this was cute :3

[TheInkacola]

this song reminds me of europe

[LMpsych0]

1:38 FUCK!, WE ARE FUCKEN LOST

[footygoodness]

if this comes on the radio, you will recognize it by the first note. Vampire Weekend is amazing because theyre songs soind like no other

[nahligcliff]

the video reminds me of the video for golden brown by the stranglers. not the song. the video.

[RANGING1CE]

I see a mansard roof through the trees,

I see a salty message written in the eaves,

The ground beneath my feet,The hot garbage and concrete,

And now the tops of buildings, i can see them, too! <3

[Pelonxaz]

best album ever, i mean, i sleep to this and dark side of the moon, .. and sometimes THE IV

[pigsnotvideos]

Like if ur from Keansburg

[pigsnotvideos]

@pigsnotvideos better yet like if u where the places on the maps are

[Musicfan5ft8]

lol Sometimes I get the feeling that they actually try to be preppy as fuck just to kind of make fun of the stereotype they're given.

[Harirawr5]

Can they stop being so damn cute? ughhh ♥

[BrucesDickinson]

If i didn't know about this song, i wouldn't be able to answer that question correctly at my building construction methods final last semester.

[trngdnh]

so.... preppy..... too.... preppy.....

[scottyguy92]

@trngdnh Haha are you familiar with modern stereotypes and the characteristics? These guys are dressed like most people do on boats like that. However, Vampire Weekend is an indie act, and is therefore not "preppy". If one was to classify them via stereotype, "hipster" would be a more accurate assessment.

[trngdnh]

@scottyguy92 damn.. my favorite band is hipster :|

[christiaan81music]

@trngdnh be glad:P

[vmcnick]

@scottyguy92

Hipster? Not really.. I think hipsters might listen to them but they are not even close to hipster. They are preppy and upper class. They don't have an ounce of hipster in their bodies, actually.

[sandra5587]

vampire weekend is awesome. i wish they'd make a new album soon!

[bassxhippiexlife]

Preps. 

[ceponjiv]

it remeinded me on arctic monkeys-crying and lightning

[LadyJammyDodgers]

@ceponjiv cuz they're at sea?, you're silly

[TheMoraMT]

After several years, for me this song is amazing!!!

[kureece2k8]

ezra reminds me of a young paul mccartney

[TeamKilIer]

IM ON A BOAT!

[TheShootingStar1030]

hey hey



[ThatFailedAbortion]

what the fuck is this song about? (and no, its not actually about mansard roof)

[5007dani]

how does they shoot the vid so it looks soo old?

[dee468]

The drummer is so good.

[karptheharp]

Coconut water, lime, a little sugar, Wrey and Nephew genuine overproof and I am there. Everything old becomes new again. Just substitue the keyboard for the steel pans and you will see the palms.

[Amorstopineed]

i like ther old school videos

[CaptainGalacticMusic]

HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS????!!!!!

[ktspots42]

The drums are so easy a baby could do it.

[IFantasticMrFoxI]

@ktspots42 Ya uh, the drums are not easy at all....

[rwaa15]

There was this one moment when I was in Paris, and I was walking by the Seine, and I saw a mansard roof through the trees, and I was standing on garbage and concrete, and it was amazing.

[TheShootingStar1030]

@rwaa15 lier



[bosoxman29]

Vampire weekend, TFM

[Jamieisastar]

Its like hipster meets prep.

[cheesyDELISH48]

boat people.

[melanierobledo]

[spaghetti5829]

[Kailyn816]

@spaghetti5829 :D

[rosssvgillies]

I'm surprised my dad hasn't heard this one.

[SENSESxXxFAIL]

I find this difficult to masturbate to.

[NancyWileyStudio]

@SENSESxXxFAIL no its not wut r u smoking....... jk :)

[hanblum]

@SENSESxXxFAIL I don't :P

[onyxanya]

@SENSESxXxFAIL best comment ever.

[zuks345]

@SENSESxXxFAIL ...Still worth trying.

[StrikeNDecayOfficial]

@SENSESxXxFAIL I find it quite easy to masturbate too

[JLeeMorganJr]

@SENSESxXxFAIL What? I can't help but masturbate when i hear this song.

[MotorCityKitty79]

@JLeeMorganJr It's the rhythm. Easy to fap to.... LOL!

[PlankBoard]

press 3. This song is Salty and Sweet

[Harirawr5]

UNFFFF asdfghjkl;

[rainbeforetherainbow]

@shermanateworms .........he was just giving an opinion. jeez.

[kylieekhaos]

Ezra needs to get in my bed.

[WhiteDwarf18]

early 80's atmosphere...



[MrratLevi]

I completely agree, it also has a bit of ska and 50s doowop in there too :D

[ActshunnBagel]

Does Vampire Weekend shop at GAP or something?



[emfago]

@ActshunnBagel hahaha :)

[greekzebra14]

@ActshunnBagel Ralph Lauren actually.

[MyticGoat65]

@ActshunnBagel They're going for that old school east coast look

[lsflores531]

@MyticGoat65 well they make a good job looking like that :D these guys are cool.

[VampireWeekend34]

@ActshunnBagel no they go to expensive stores like seriously high end stores

[ActshunnBagel]

@VampireWeekend34 *while acting stupid* I wouldn't consider GAP a "high end" store.

[jiffinbigles]

@ActshunnBagel I don't get it but alright

[jackOlantern6661]

@ActshunnBagel you are fucking retarded. that is all.

[headofcrap77]

beats and hoes! 

[animeftw67]

damn how many vampire weekends are there -_-

[cjagostino]

does anyone agree with me that this song sounds like british rock from the late 60's? Maybe like the Association, or the Kinks? ...idk. It's fricken AWESOME though!!!!

[seiyudaira9]

feel like 90's

[euo95]

NEW JERSEY XD

[TheSimpsonsFanGirl]

Vampire Weekend makes me want to go on a Summer long trip to Maine (while wearing Polo.....)

[MinatoUzumak1]

Ralph Lauren Polo the Vampire Weekend collection should be put at the end.

[NinjaJedi]

172 people are Argentines who collapsed in defeat.

(Yes I know these kind of comments are cliché.)

[cocolourz44]

i love vampire weekend...........

[knewamericannerd]

@cocolourz44 who doesnt

[Ninjapenguingurl]

@cocolourz44 i know me too...

[AddictionToGaming]

This song reminds me of Fred Flinstone

[2charliefreak]

0:19 makeup?

[BiGaetanK]

2:16 minutes of fun! Vampire Weekend RuleZ

[theone456]

the drummer is always smiling.

[VisualGP1]

You guys could check out Last Dinosaurs if you want Hawaii themed indie. I recommend their song 'Honolulu' to start.

[shebesammy]

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS BAND

[sonyanderson84]

does anyone know a band that plays the exact same music as VW ??

[Noxcer]

@sonyanderson84

Pretty much every other indie pop/rock band out there.

[Eoinposse]

The Fray will be forgotten in four years, like most rubbish. VW won't.

[monochico86]

I have only recently discovered the pure joy that is Vampire Weekend, and that is unfortunate, and yet here I am!

[danglensnipe]

This could pass for a Polo commercial

[2charliefreak]

@danglensnipe you stole my comment ¬¬

[fsfsfsfsfsfsg]

@danglensnipe So you mean, this ISN'T a Polo Shirt commercial? :O ... WOw they're good!

[ztejas13]

@danglensnipe except it's way too cool for polo, more like a gap commercial

[seanphurley]

reminds me of the mediteranian :D

[sublimedubstyle]

i <3 when it says "the Argentines collapse in defeat...." even know its a terrible thing lol

[TheGoodstuff69]

before i saw any of these music videos, I could not stop thinking of new england when i played the songs. the kind of people you may see at a ivy league school visiting their father's yacht club. u know, that kind of stuff.

[bobalooay]

reminds me so much of the life aquatic

[hobbitonman]

@bobalooay i was thinking the same thing lol

[boburiinchankludho]

I feel in the relaxed 60's now :D LOVE the FEELING! :D

[toasteroven427]

I see a mansard roof too!

[Locksmithj0e]

vampire weekends finest moment... this song > a-punk every day of the week

[2charliefreak]

[starrydream77]

Gosh, what song of Vampire Weekend's isn't awesome???

[vampyweeks]

[badkookie]

[PaulaaTV]

Vampire Weekend makes me feel like ...I'm living a wonderul life <3

[MelissaBEP]

[IrunwithVampiresXD]

[simzodom]

for some reason this song makes me think of chasing a Dalmatian across a field and finally tackling it and raping it in the butt. Its a good song though

[countchunkula]

@simzodom Same here, except I pictured fisting the dalmatian like a puppet.

[MiloRavenV]

[SKAisJOY]

@MiloRavenV

Because they're Vampire Weekend, that's why.

[incomprableslinn]

@MiloRavenV

because that's what he's talking about.

The Argentines collapse in defeat

The admiralty surveys the remnants of the fleet

The ground beneath their feet

Is a nautically-mapped sheet

As thin as paper

While it slips away from view

google is your friend...

[fillealyssia]

Baio didn't get the pastels memo

[W3R3W00F]

@vleon1012 I will reply with a noninflammatory comment.

They are keeping the beat. It's sort of awkward, yeah, but it's one of those things that may take time to grow on you.

[vancouvergirl567]
