Oxford Comma-Vampire Weekend

[cottnheadninmuginz17]

brilliant.

[HinterBlaueAugen]

I think I'll be witty and say "I give a fuck about an oxford comma."

haha I'm so witty and original -.-

[JennaughS]

I give a fuck about the oxford comma, damn important peice of punctuation.

[bret255]

@PuddingMan900 you probably consider Party Rock Anthem good music...that's all that needs to be said about you.

[tim55lincecum]

Why would you lie about how much coal you have?

[Nickception]

Professor Mosby sent me here.

[Ps3GameTv]

How i met your Mother :D

[fabkilljoy1]

[iWriteiDayDream]

Ezra Koenig was an English major at Columbia University... He should give a fuck about an oxford comma. How ironic... :D

[aumkar2]

HIMYM HELL YA THX CharmedSparkles

[StarlingClarice1]

Like Octovain, I also give a fuck about an Oxford comma. It's the difference between asking who invited the strippers, Stalin, and JFK, and asking who invited the strippers, Stalin and JFK.

[curtischenoweth1]

Puddingman900 the only reason why you acting so hostile to this video is because you aren't secure in your masculinity so you feel by calling something gay you wont have to face the fact that you yourself are a homosexual

[puddingman900]

This is gay

[Nettie1210]

@puddingman900

If by gay you mean amazing, then you're right

[hazzer811]

i used to give a fuck about the oxford comma...then i took an exclamation mark to the knee...

[102920634]

[Cscottrun53]

Lil John ALWAYS tells the truth

[nerdsmack]

Heard this as a bumper song on the Glenn Beck radio show... It's cute!

[EvilEmoCupcakes]

"We invited the strippers, Truman, and Stalin."

"We invited the strippers, Truman and Stalin."

Oxford comma.

[munitsher]

[Hbabii17]

@EvilEmoCupcakes tumblr ;)

[danyjr]

Man the first time I heard this song I was like what a shit song. Then I woke up one night with this song in my ears. Been listening to it ever since.

[ColorMeHoppy]

I fucking love this song!

[NoCompIy]

i have no clue how i got here. i usually listen to rap. but this sounds fantastic baked.

[Reehta]

Well I'm hoping to go to Cambridge University so I think I should be saying 'Fuck the Oxford comma'. Unfortunately I'm a zealous punctuater and the oxford comma is my first love.

[TheDirtyPope]

enter post here that relates to how many people hit the dislike button

[allidock11]

This is ALMOST the thing that makes me see.

[ShindentheGreat]

Enjoy your strippers, JFK and Stalin.

[LolCaramelz]

I think oxford commas are necessary, important, and worthwhile.

[ChloeCuriouser]

Oxford comma's are necessary.

[musikrocz6]

@DaniiDanger0us ihave no clue but there was a comment on here and it says season 5 episode 1 but i dont know other than that

[crashbeat7]

[DaniiDanger0us]

[boyeatworld]

"first the window, then it's to the wall / Lil Jon he always tells the truth"

hahahahahahah i love this song

[quezziqeelive]

No one is probably gonna read this,

I'm just gonna write it any way because i feel at least one person will,

I'm a rapper. i know theres like 200k of those in this world,

But I'm different promise that, If u give me this chance I'll show you.

I would love nothing more than to have a decent following on youtube from people.

If anyone who reads this could press the "THUMBS UP" other people will see it.

Just a simple button press could make my dream come true Thank You

[dgkallday4u]

I dated an oxford comma in high school.

[1lamastar]

@dgkallday4u That was just so stupid I had to give you a thumbs up.

[dgkallday4u]

[MayneMAjor]

one of the best songs of vampire weekend!!!

[meldamw]

I didn't give a fuck about the Oxford Comma until I heard this song :)

[Octovain]

I give a fuck about an Oxford comma. I think they're really important for resolving ambiguity.

[emilykval]

@Octovain I agree they are very helpful

[Xais56]

@Octovain And creating it sometimes

[AshleyTisdaleFan2145]

@Octovain Ambiguity is one of my vocab words and were studying i punctuation....lolz.

[thesnowfish7]

My favorite Vampire Weekend songs are this, A-Punk, and Cape Cod.

[ClintEastwoodist]

I hate the oxford comma, so I decided to give a speech in my speech class on my I hate it so much. The teacher stopped me and argued with me. I made him so mad. :)

[keepitupbro]

@ClintEastwoodist feel free to let your teacher know that Oxford no longer recommends the use of the Oxford comma!

[Octovain]

@keepitupbro The Oxford comma is more commonly referred to as the serial comma, and is standard usage in American English.

[babypiano666]

@ClintEastwoodist probably because that's a retarded thing to give a speech on.

[93ramfire]

how i met your mother brought me here :)

[AddictionToGaming]

This song reminds me of the parties the marines used to have in Pearl Harbor in the '40's for some reason

[54321nicolaskurtf]

@AddictionToGaming ur pretty young huh

[AddictionToGaming]

@54321nicolaskurtf Haha, I love your sarcasm.

I'm actually 16, but I've seen so many movies and documentaries about the marines and they used to choose this type of music for a party

[PWheat23]

my middle name happens to be the "highest llama", so that straight gives me street cred at the rock climbing facility that I climb at.... sooo thanks homies!!!

[redSHIFT69]

16 people think its "to the wall then through the window"

[dylanmeuesen]

do you mind if i use this in a video?

[lenora123able]

BUILT AMERICAN.

[lenora123able]

he's lying ... she did not give u head..(because of a song).

[DonkaPuncher]

Oxford Comma that bitch!

[playitbackunboxer]

r they gay idk

[chloee956]

@playitbackunboxer  does it fucking matter? idk

[fallohval]

@chloee956 haha, i just responded pretty much the same thing (w/out the cursing lol)... i hadn't seen you had already responded.

[fallohval]

@playitbackunboxer well it doesn't matter x) they're good! that matters

[rockforheaven]

in colombia when we´re pissed of people says coma mierda. translate; eat shit. so you don´t give a shit here you eat shit. culture beauty culture.

[Sunnyboy0294]

honey badger doesn't care about an oxford comma

[MissSeriouslyRandom]

;DD

[Pagra101]

I hate it when you take a dump and when the shit hits the water, all the pee splashes up your crack

[Hellokeels]

<3 <3 <3 I wish he'd have my children <3 <3 <3

[bunnycreme892]

@bee45 , its basically saying why do people give a shit about stupid things... an oxford comma is the comma before 'and', and some people really do the care about whether its neccessary or not, so theyre basically saying throughout the song, why do you care, why do you lie, and why do you give a shit about all this crap. hope it helps :)

[Ilovefoodandmusic]

@dxrules93 LOL..

[dxrules93]

10 people gave a fuck about Oxford Comma. Rofl.

[bee445]

I love this song, but what is it about?

[Nerosk117]

@bee445i like to think its about avoiding stereotypes and not just complying with what's expected in society not just going with what's considered 'the norm', being a bit different and individual!! well that's my interpretation anyway!

[DFBfan92]

HIMYM helped me so much finding a lot unknown but beautiful songs ;)

[floppy9200]

I've used the Oxford comma ever since I started writing lists in elementary school, so when it got so much attention in high school I felt like I was missing something.

So indeed: Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?

[gettbaked]

my piece of shit teacher maybe?

but sure as fuck NOT me.

[BlackShades1977]

Played this song last night at a party in living room before countdown epic night

[supaflyz88]

whats an 'oxford comma'????

[SokujinASE]

10 people gave a fuck about an Oxford comma

[wolowich]

- I totally raped the replay button for about an hour now . . . does anybody have a cigarette ? Ian L!Ves. . .

[emilydoesmakeup]

the preppy indie band Vampire Weekend also uses the term to refer to a white, preppy guy from Oxford, as "comma" has also been used as slang for an obnoxious white person.

Who gives a fuck about an oxford comma?

[DrSquidley]

@emilydoesmakeup no, ur wrong.

[chazmundoful]

@emilydoesmakeup An Oxford Comma is a proponent of proper grammar. What you've said is just ignorant to be honest. At oxford the majority aren't 'Preppy'

[ForsakenZOL]

How I Met Your Mother Music 5/5

[JasenGiudici2794]

[MeganIsMe07]

My English teacher gives a fuck about the oxford comma. He's even proclaimed his liking by saying: "I give a fuck about the oxford comma."

Yes, he was, in fact, referring to this song. And that is why he is so awesome.

[greatdane114]

Do peaople actually use oxford commas?

[southkoreasgotseoul]

@greatdane114 i think they use them in america. they're not standard in britain though.

[kingofthelube]

I actually use Oxford Commas more often than not. Still can't give a fuck about 'em though.

[iheartebby]

[funkydari]

[LewisIsNoFool]

Why would you lie about how much coal you have?

[itslovettcuh]

[KingSlimjeezy]

[DCNative12]

[IAmLedsterOo]

[PinkStrawberry6790]

super-dooper amazingness<3

[laraverlesova]

@ASHxMCDxISxMINE

it's not that, it just doesn't fit, it sounds like they don't have time to say it

[100dreamscometrue]

this song makes me smile <3 (: HAHHA

[MyLeoCompany]

 i love you man

[fionamouse2]

this song would be better if they said damn instead of fuck

[queemy0]

@fionamouse2 I disagree. "Damn" doesn't roll off smoother. Plus it sounds cooler the way it is.

[QoSEVO]

this is one of my favorite songs by this and. other songs i like by vampire weekend are i stand corrected, m79, and a punk

[TheRoCkLiFe1]

LOVE UR MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jynx93]

I think the lyrics mean something along the lines of making insignificant things a BIG deal.

[sk8teboarderDude]

@dudette763 HE DOES AND THE WORLD NEEDS TO NOW IT!!!!

[dudette763]

Stephen Colbert gives a fuck about the oxford comma.

[gretchyisadinosaur]

i give a fuck about an oxford comma!

[Japes2009]

I find it funny that he says, " Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?" and we have numerous comments giving a fuck about Oxford commas.

[hellb]

lyrics make no sense :( was he on drugs???

Someone tell me the meaning of the song!

[wevor4tard]

@hellb

nopes, he got into a fight about the oxford comma in "Red, White and Blue".

It's about a little thing, that the other person made into a big deal, and the person irefutabley disagrees.

[hellb]

@wevor4tard I see....thank you!

[battlefield2013]

dude this sonngg is freakinn amazing

[1jazzy1phizzle1]

the oxford comma here refers to a specific example of its usage whereupon it can create ambiguity as to the meaning of the sentence:

i have 50 pounds of steel, 100 pounds of iron and coal.

i have 50 pounds of steel, 100 pounds of iron, and coal.

in the second example it is not clear how much coal there is, which is why the lyric says ' why would you lie about how much coal you have?'

[TLPisME]

their songs are so much better when you read the lyrics along. the words are so cute.

[malcholeric4]

who really gives a fuck about oxford commas?

[abcdefghijklmnopq643]

it is not possible 2 hate this band or any of their songs. they r Amazing!

<333333333 :}

[Roachermonkey]

@abcdefghijklmnopq643 Its very easy to hate them.
