Vampire Weekend - Walcott

[simonh505]

This is the best song about an average "soccer" player I have ever heard.

[jeremypr]

love the cello.......brilliant blend of some old-school orchestrations.....word.

[aresishere2]

Am I the only one who thinks that the intro of the song is similar to Melina Mercouri's "Never On Sunday"????

[dimjug]

@aresishere2 It's more similar to ''manos loizos-o dromos'' !!!

[SeisTresUno]

what do they mean by "fuck the bears out in provincetown"

[identifyingkeywork]

@SeisTresUno well bear is a term for a more masculine gay guy. i think thats what theyre referring to...

[azgh11]

I use to hate cape code than i took an arrow to the knee

[hesho12321]

I used to get out of Cape Cod. Then I took an arrow in the knee.

[oM3NS0o]

@hesho12321 i use to yell at people like you, than i took an arrow to the knee.

[MrPerfectVision]

THEO!

[tikkukko]

STORROR!

[twodeadbirdsmusic]

love them!

check out two dead birds cover of walcott!! xx

[RANGING1CE]

Day 78: Potty bags are nearly full and running low on food supplies. Still can't find darklord46's comment.

[brownteal21]

@RANGING1CE best thing I've ever read. 

[amazingjakeo]

People who say this band sucks listen to hip hop. That's the insult.

[jdminiutti]

lil wayne is so much better these guys blow

[superuberpinktaco]

@jdminiutti good one

[MYParadigmFYI]

That's the best song I've ever brushed my teeth to to date

[themav624]

this band blows

[LadyJammyDodgers]

@themav624 like your mom to anything with a pulse. do. not. dis. my friend.

[Chihuhah10]

i'm going to Boston next year;

so this is like,

my theme song.. :'D

[Dajackal07]

My version of Walcott, the one on my ITunes, sounds entirely different. o-o

[panman36]

man they like trills. what is it with the trill? Okay I like it too

[ebriusmonkey]

VW is the shit.

[MrKubbo]

Walcott is kinda ghetto so yeh, definitely would like to get out of there...

[Homerthescholar]

i truly like how vampire weekend uses instruments that bands these days neglect and styles that they overlook. such as the obvious cello in this song. it really adds a new and refreshing depth to all their songs.

[sportsguy006]

@Homerthescholar Obvious cello is obvious.

[VampireWeekend112]

such a great band

[eleni789]

/watch?v=LQcwVl1RuL8 it just hit me

[DaBrainfeeder]

Hey if you guys like this you should also check out Tangent Transmission! Ive been listening to them ever since I heard them on NCIS:LA and love it. Reminds me of Vampire Weekend a bit

[SaveTheRaveKids]

I'm in Cape Cod.

[seiyudaira9]

"THEO" apples

"WALCOTT" Vampire weekend

THEO WALCOTT the footballer

[victorianonymous]

"Hyannis Port is a ghetto." Have no idea where that is, or how that's funny but DAMN I LOVE THIS SONG

[1234LETStartAwar]

@victorianonymous i have been there its pretty ghetto

[Barcalonelyhearts23]

whenever i hear this song i automatically think of THEO WALCOTT:)

[dogfightvj]

im not gay and i like some of their songs, so what?

[cheesebath]

31 people didnt get out of cape cod :P

[aphorg]

This song is catchy and gets stuck in my head all the time, but it grates on me. When referring to the area, you say "on" and "off" Cape, not "in" or "out" of Cape Cod. It just sounds so awkward and wrong to a local. You can tell he was probably once a rich kid vacationing on Cape Cod if he says it like that. And sure, Hyannis is pretty ghetto, but Hyannisport is rich as hell. :P

[mfce123]

@aphorg everyone knows hyannisport is rich as hell (heard of the kennedys?). irony perchance? more meant than what's on the surface? but i'm off cape cod, what do i know?

[no1sexybrasileira]

The people that didnt like this, didnt get it...

[Tigerbarsch]

any idea which istrument is used in the chorus? a xylophone?

[Butchertastic]

This song makes me shiver because it strikes a chord. I've always wanted to just gather up all my friends and leave town. Go somewhere. Anywhere.

[124romero]

Hey wasnt thos song on a commercial?

[ellyluvsmusic]

Ezra is just one sexy boy.

[jekporkins101]

I once did a chick in Walcott, turned out to be a dude.

Good song though.

[npseudo1985]

@jekporkins101 when her dick showed did she yell "cover me porkins"?

[ApartmentViews]

@jekporkins101

lmfao, you win for some reason

[newmusiclover997]

@jekporkins101 a take on the bryn comment, nice :D

[kitkat0011n]

@jekporkins101 Haha you fucked a shemale, hey at least you got laid..

[mrmessy1234]

i agree alot... a... wats your name?OH YEAH megibops!

[mrmessy1234]

BEAST!(AWSOME)

[upgradeugirl]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EZRA! <3

[heavy671]

ke bonita cancionnnn!!

[LoveBugLiz]

Uhhm..at 0:35 Ezra is lacking, well...his pants..: /

[megibops]

@1:12 to @1:35 is sheer musical brilliance, gave me chills first time I heard it.

[Simonwilliamtaylor]

@megibops It's brilliant 

[kungfudancin]

@megibops The cello part is SOO similar to Prelude 1 by Bach and its one of the most famous cello pieces ever. Not saying they stole it, just saying. Also, it fits so fucking well here I don't care if they did

[libum1]

@kungfudancin what are you smoking sure both are cello but they sound nothing alike.

[kungfudancin]

@libum1 I don't know, when I listen to this all I hear is prelude

[xxxxSnowman]

3:07

The one on the far left ;)

[Musicfan5ft8]

@xxxxSnowman Rostam got plastic surgery :)

[catshavefeelings]

@Musicfan5ft8

Look at the next pic

[DDUDEdotcom]

Ezra.....

[iscr3amstudios]

1:21 <3

[Sw00zies]

AUTO TUNE? I think not. Great Song.

[goonergeek]

Theo......



[teamocharlie]

@goonergeek lol I see what you did there ;)

[darklord46]

i honestly think this kind of music should be the most populair music right now. listen to this fucking incredible musicianship. the blend of instruments is simply at its peak. from drums to violins. these are true musicians. not lady gaga and all that shit that you can only hear auto-tune -.-

[xxDoesitmatterxx]

@darklord46

Gaga doesn't use auto-tune. She's actually quite an impressive musician, albeit her style definitely doesn't represent it well. She has a masters in performing arts, and she's a fucking amazing singer.

If you don't like her music, by all means, that's fine. It's not my cup of tea either, but recognize her talent.

ON THAT NOTE.

Souljah Boy, Lil' Wayne, Ke$ha, or anyone like them? Yeah. They're pretty awful.

[yourmom794]

@xxDoesitmatterxx Yeah, they're all not my cup of tea either. Mostly becuase i don't like big peices of shit in my tea.

[Musicfan5ft8]

@xxDoesitmatterxx She can sing, but she does use auto-tune just for an effect.

[xxDoesitmatterxx]

@Musicfan5ft8

No doubt. However, she does a lot of songs without.

[LurkMe]

@xxDoesitmatterxx please never talk about anything mainstream, including gaga, on a vampire weekend video ever again

[LurkMe]

@xxDoesitmatterxx please never talk about anything mainstream, including gaga, on a vampire weekend video ever again

[xxDoesitmatterxx]

@LurkMe Fun fact:

Vampire Weekend is fairly mainstream. You're being a hipster, and extremely pretentious at that.

[LurkMe]

@xxDoesitmatterxx Fairly mainstream..? I've never heard them outside youtube, they don't have that big of an impact on pop culture, and I'm not a hipster. This isn't new, the 'cool kids' aren't listening to it, I just like Vampire Weekend.

[Mekakakaka]

@LurkMe for the record - if a band can release an album and have it debut at #1 on the Billboard 100, they are mainstream

secondly, if they can get Joe Jonas, RZA and Lil Jon to feature in their videos, they are mainstream as fuck

lastly, don't assume the mainstream is automatically bad

[glcarissa]

@xxDoesitmatterxx i'm a devout member of the haus of gaga but check your facts, brah... she's a college droupout and yeah, she did study art history or something-or-other... but hey, it's refreshing to see some decently educated individuals producing music.

[xxDoesitmatterxx]

@glcarissa

Turns out you're right. I have no idea where I got that information. Hearsay, I presume.

Now I feel silly, oh well. This comment was ages ago.

[indiemolly]

The lead singer is EZRA SEXY. =P

[FromABuick06]

anyone know if these guys are from the cape?

[armyvisual]

@FromABuick06 I think they are from Manhattan, not sure though.

[Bixxxit]

they all are fantastic-Okaayyy ezra is great.. but the drummer is better haha ;D

[deadpeopleseer]

lol at how this song is about a movie character ezra koenig made in college!

[ahat3ful]

the lead singer is so cute. he dresses like every guy should dress

[MrTougher]

craaaazy as all their other songs have over 1 mil views but one of the best tunes dont? mmmmmm I FCKING LOVE THIS SONG.....

[RonIsHarrysLover]

THE ARE GEENUS

[trucmuchedu59]

erza <3

[MsCovergirl98]

Like this if you think Ezra Koenig is super hot.

[TheSillyFacedMan]

[lionsscape]

suggestions for must hear bands?

[irockursocks62]

@lionsscape Mumford & Sons. A must.

[lionsscape]

@irockursocks62 already know them. Like them alot. Very homey and rustic. anymore?

[irockursocks62]

@lionsscape I would saay Darwin Deez, not a band but one of my favorite artist!

[lionsscape]

@irockursocks62 I like him. Hes good and funny.

[yuvaleeee]

i wanna re-live this day SO BAD.

[julioosio]

WALCOTT =D

[hipeeyip]

I like the lyrics, but the xylophone-type sound isn't the most please sound I've ever heard xD

[JBluv4ever824]

@hipeeyip thats the reason i like it!

[Frainps]

THEO WALCOTT THE FASTEST PLAYER EVER

[jarthurs99990]

@gracelikesTMB

[GracelikesTMB]

@jarthurs99990 Yeah, completely agree, I wanna do it all again!

[clintcat]

@jarthurs99990 I was there too, it was AMAZING!

[ToldoMexes]

This song is such a geniune song. The structure is just perfect! Well done!

[GracelikesTMB]

I saw them live last night and this was their final song, in the last chorus millions and millions bits of confetti came out of these cannon things it was like it was pouring with rain but with confetti.

I don't think I'll ever forget that moment :)

[WATWlover]

I was tired, and I thought he said "Mallcop, don't you wanna get outta cape cod tonight. " cx

[merks91]

saw them live in the netherlands. this was the last song they played and my favorite!!!

[speey934]

<3 awesomesauce

[daydreamer316]

@Jake1993x oh did someone already say that? haha sorry for being tedious =]

[TheJackyninja]

BEST VAMPIRE WEEKEND SONG!

[92animeluva]

@mrahsilheg amen XD

[lumberjax4life]

1:29 that is all.

[Zythe]

Isn't this a redress of the poet Derek Walcott's concern with provinciality?

[daydreamer316]

25 people are in cape cod

[Jake1993x]

@daydreamer316 One person still thinks this joke is funny.

[mrahsilheg]

ezra koenig could not get sexier

[TaylorplusJordyn]

@mrahsilheg I agree, totally sexy!

[fluffyanimals09]

@mrahsilheg Fucking love him.

[chimerasta]

@mrahsilheg ....aham,,,,,,, there are men listening also to this band that are not gay %D %D

[cheeseisniceable]

I like you me at six, we the kings and owl city but i like this the best <3

[MrRobbo246]

I hate the comparison between thease guys and the beetles... vampire weekends much better

[ekuhn44]

@MrRobbo246 kill yourself

[XcathbrianX]

I live in Hyannis port...

[XxXMadzerAdzerXxX]

THEO

[namesrainbowtrout]

@XxXMadzerAdzerXxX also the first thing i thought of

[TheMcginnje]

@XxXMadzerAdzerXxX this song is about all these vampire theo walcotts who run really fast around london and diving onto the ground when they get stabbed with a giant silver onion

[TheLastLink265]

@TheMcginnje lolwut?

[PerignonPop]

@TheMcginnje Word. That's gospel, that is. Fact.

[HoneyPatchworks]

When I was five I had a cream and burgundy shirt that said Cape Cod on it with funky writting and I loved it with all my heart. This comment has nothing to do with this lovely song.

[Horsemanray]

This is the kind of band British people like more than americans Even though they're from NY.

[scotclansmen]

@Horsemanray That's because Brits like indie rock.

[DawnOfARevolution]

I didn't realize how sad this song is until I heard it at their concert. I shed some tears. haha

[IndieRokker10]

This song was amazing at there show. Best ending song ever

[doyoukazootoo]

just saw them live last night. they ended the set with this song. and it was beautiful.

[JoshOhen92]

@doyoukazootoo was that the one at soma? I was there! :D

[JoshOhen92]

@doyoukazootoo was that the one at soma? I was there too! :D

[helloxbrightxeyes]

@doyoukazootoo I was there too(: I didn't think they'd play this and I was so happy when they did. I danced out of my shoes.

[doyoukazootoo]

@helloxbrightxeyes it was a happy time. and i think it was impossible not to dance.

[rickytsub]

vampire weekend are my fave band, but also like paramore a lot D: also mgmt >.< FOTC might heard them once...

[lifeisdead01]

I found out why I like Vampire Weekend. They remind me of 50's music.

[Kailyn816]

THIS SONG IS THE SHIT! :D love the keyboards! :D WALCOTT don't you know that it's insane! :D

[ogretheill]

This song's about a kid named Walcott who has to warn the mayor of Cape Cod about a Vampire invasion. The plot of an amateur film by Erza Koenih. Called Vampire Weekend. Hence...

[wabajack]

@ogretheill i didnt beleive you, then i thought about it, and then it made sense.

[notsoeloquent]

there's no fucking way to get out of cape cod, trust me... 7 years and counting

[MrSuperTevez]

Walcott had to go to Cape Cod to tell the mayor that the Vampires are coming

[WakeUpStudios930]

Cape Cod, Mystic Seaport, Bottlneck, Hyannis Port, New Jersey, Wellfleet, Provincetown...

These guys aren't from the Northeast or anyhhing...pff.

<3 EZRA KOENIG IN 2012 <3

[mercifulhappiface]

the game.



[spencersnotgold]

@mercifulhappiface not cool.

[xEnigma0x]

I love this song it makes me feel special cause my last name is Walcott :)

[skuffrip]

@xEnigma0x

thats crazy my last name is alcott

[hermoso95]

@xEnigma0x lol thats good x) XD

[iplaytheguitar73]

@xEnigma0x walcott is the main character in the play that they wrote called vampire weekend about vampires like invading cape cod or something, which is where all their songs from this album are from

[mccornbreadj3]

This song makes me smile.

[MrNate2296]

i think this is one of their best songs

[bastet518]

I'm in the garden state right now!

[the80sdumpster]

This is the best song by them! Why wasn't this bigger than the other songs on the album. Walcott was the peak of awesomeness for the Vampire Weekend Album. Hmph:( .... I know what will cheer me off... Walcott

[Lovefixie]

I'm in Cape Cod right now!!

[corbzx]

Best live band ive ever seen!!

[LovetteCher]

Personal note: 1:13

[chikenjely]

Can I get out of cape cod?

[closingtime2]

thumbs up this if you lik VM, MGMT and MSTRKRFT and you hate Justin beiber, ke$ha and gay fags like that

[closingtime2]

@closingtime2 i meant to write VW, sorry

[normalkuriboh]

@closingtime2 fuck you, because of ppl like u, i can't go to any decent music on youtube, without seeing justin beiber, and kesha's name all over the comments. STOP. and stop asking ppl to thumb up ur comments, it comes off as desperate.

[Jlintelman]

I dont want to commit to just one VW song, but this has to be my favorite!

[alxandrsn10]

<3 ezra's vocals

[realtheloniuscrunk]

best vampire weekend song
