Cool video! They are playing at Sasquatch! Music Festival in May, I can’t wait to see them! The line-up is insanely amazing this year.
My 2 favorite things in one place. Vampire weekend and jake. I don’t get why joe jonas is there…
Because he is amazingly incredible♥
I liked Joe in it a lot, too! & the RZA was so coool. Jake Gyllenhaal was great, but why is *drunk* always supposed to be sooooooo funny? I must admit I find that sort of lame….
Fan favourite? This song isn’t exactly my least favourite (that would be Holiday), but it’s up there.
Good video though.

I personally think it’s the best track on the album (but thats all opinion). However, this video is one of the funniest/best I’ve seen in a while. Props to VW for not taking themselves so seriously.
Wow..That’s the last straw, i’ve a VW fan since 2008 and now they’ve just ruined themselves with this video. I cannot believe that they’re so greedy for money that they’ve allowed such generic actors into one of their videos.
R.I.P
The band I used to know as Vampire Weekend.
