And here it is, Vampire Weekend’s star-studded music video for Contra fan favorite (and my least favorite) “Giving Up The Gun”. Oh and you know cocky, drunk Tennis Superstar Jake Gyllenhaal makes this the best music video of 2010.

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.
