from Columbia University to Cape Cod
Kasich wasa welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 Vampire Weekend songs for
this list we’ve chosen our entries based
on a combination of the artists fan
favorites and their most commercially
successful songs
number ten Wolcott don’t you know that
based on a cinematic vision of the lead
singer Ezra Koenig this song tells the
harrowing tale of a boy desperate to
save his Cape Cod community from blood
sucking vampires bottom leg is a
show as far as getting to God
the lyrics unveil a striking affinity
for poetic realism while the course
provides something for fans to sing and
dance along too
becoming not only a concert staple but
to the song that closes every Vampire
Weekend show there’s no better way to
get the hell out of Cape Cod than with
this 2008 classic
lú kè to
number nine diane young’ if you ever
find yourself on a road trip with diane
young’ it just may be your last with a
clever play on words Vampire Weekend
offers listeners a rich tale of a
death-defying game on the prowl
and in the completely insane music video
the lads from Columbia recreated a
Renaissance classic with modern indie
icons and saxophones that double as
bongs
okay perhaps that’s not the official
description of Diane young but the
lyrics allow one to contemplate the
essence of dying young and the momentous
decisions of our youth they baby baby
Adam or maybe it’s just about having fun
you be the judge
number eight Cape Cod quass across as
young as a slick investigation into the
artistic connections of American preps
and African natives this Vampire Weekend
track is lyrically thin but
intellectually profound one minute a
young gal is cruising with louisvil tone
and the next Vampire Weekend has us
questioning the importance of Peter
Gabriel with a riff that would make
Graceland Arab Paul Simon proud and a
music video that is as 80s as the 80s
themselves is on that gave you Cape Cod
quasi quasi established Vampire Weekend
as the previous boys in indie music
number seven
diplomats son for this song off their
second album Vampire Weekend offered a
cryptic story about a turbulent early
80s relationship
written by Ezra Koenig and Rasta Batman
Glee diplomat son is based on the family
background of the latter and his own
relationship experiences while most of
the lyrics are vague the narrator offers
up a few hints when describing a close
encounter with his best friend and good
ol mary-jane
I woke up he was gone
the ban includes heavy Caribbean
influences while maintaining their indie
pop sound to create a masterpiece of a
song despite not being released as a
single
number six cousins it’s easy to poke fun
at Ivy Leaguers for a variety of reasons
and for this playful composition Vampire
Weekend’s to terrorize their educational
background along with all the imitators
that try to bite their style lyrically
cousins may intellectually frazzle the
average listener but if one listens
closely one shall discover the band
gently laying down the gauntlet on
critics while protecting their fan base
I can feel it coming the fast frantic
nature of the song is as quirky as the
songs music video which features the
band’s partying in an alleyway
number-5 unbelievers
based with a message rooted in religion
this spiritual number gently mocked the
idea that a fiery end will come to all
those without a steadfast belief in a
higher order
in other words in damned if you do and
damned if you don’t
regardless of your personal
interpretation unbelievers was
undoubtedly a well received single from
Vampire Weekend’s third album and the
song was brilliantly performed on the 30
rock stage of Saturday Night Live
you see
always asking the important questions
Vampire Weekend delivered yet another
piece of brain candy for us to chew on
contains it dropped it dropped me number
for a punk
here’s a suggestion ignore the fact that
you’ll never truly know what this song
means and just embrace the musical
energy
but here’s what we do know a young gal
named Joanna has a vast history with a
particular ring
with a sped-up music video and a sound
that works flawlessly live a punk led
Vampire Weekend to the Ed Sullivan
Theater for their television debut on
David Letterman and it was also featured
on the classic 2008 comedy stepbrothers
but thirty nine-year-old son named
Brennan whose two lips at home with me
number three Oxford comma arguably one
of the most beautifully written songs of
the early YouTube era this Vampire
Weekend single referenced the Dalai Lama
rapper Lil Jon and of course the Oxford
comma as lead singer Ezra Koenig has
noted it’s more about adhering to a
rebellious nature than adhering to a
strict code of proper grammar
Oxford comma may be a hard concept to
swallow for some but it’s likely that
Vampire Weekend doesn’t really care
check your handbook check your passport
and understand that Little John always
tells the truth
number two
Hannah hunt a guy told me some fast food
but I could not believe it
metaphorically moving and beautifully
morose Hannah hunt represents a lyrical
eulogy for a doomed relationship from
the aptly named city of Providence to
the proverbial land of Phoenix a couple
aspires to rekindle the romantic flame
only to drift away along the beaches of
Santa Barbara
if only you wish Stalin you and me we
get out since – although not released as
a single it quickly became a fan and
critic favorite being named the third
and fourth best song of 2013 by
pitchfork and Rolling Stone respectively
it’s lyrically gorgeous and the song’s
climax could even make a grown man Li
man cry
before we unveil our topic here are a
few honorable mentions
to get get just the bad it’s when I’m
counting on fifty forty million dollars
the kids don’t stand a chance
it was
number one step back with a heist from
black and organics began good Salaam
Vampire Weekend has given us songs about
broken relationships and the objective
nature of art but this artistic creation
is all about their devotion to music
itself
the concept was born from a late 90s
hip-hop song as the aesthetics of step
to my girl by souls of mischief not only
impressed Vampire Weekend but led them
to sample the track in a world of trolls
constantly stepping to their girl Koenig
and company effectively demonstrate
their willingness to take on criticism
while staying loyal to their artistic
ideals as they say beauty is in the eye
of the beholder
