Song of the Week- 2/23/08

This week we have "Oxford Comma" by Vampire Weekend.

Adjectives that may be used to describe this song include, "whimsical," "carefree," and "silly." The first line of the song, "who gives a fuck about an oxford comma?" sets the carefree mood of the song quite well. Talking about meeting lamas and lying about the amount of coal one has- this song is as carefree as you can get. The most striking thing about the entire song is how simple it is. In the video, the drummer is playing on a single floor tom, the keyboardist is playing on a Casio. So simple, yet so catchy, so fun.

Enjoy.
