THIS WAS WRITTEN EARLY 2010 The bands first ballad....I Think Ur A Contra, which is about Ezra’s break-up with his girlfriend Sara. “It’s the most out-and-out emotional song I’ve written,” says Ezra. “There’s a lot of lyrics about conflict on the record, especially there.” “It’s basically about a couple saying, ‘How did we end up like this?’” He breaks off with a wry chuckle. “And, well, I don’t currently have a girlfriend, so I don’t have to worry about what my partner thinks of that song." :)
I know this was 7 years ago and everything so this comment is really late but im pretty sure 'taqueria y fonda' is referenced in the lyrics of california english pt 2
Haha Tomson regarding the library, "Did you ever even go in here...? I never really... I came in here like twice.." Spoken like a true collegiate individual.
@HMClark1227 you're welcome:) i got it from News of the World (RUclips won't let me post a link :( ). but the article is called "Fangs for nothing Vampire Weekend"
"he made these albums in the 70s where he would, like, play duets with, like, humpback whales and wolves and stuff" lmao what and the old people at the end. omg i can't breathe, i'm laughing so hard wtf was that
wow ok when chris starts making those movements with his hands to describe the burrito and how big they are, icouldn't help giggling. v immature haha and wtf the elderly are crazy
Wasn't that old lady at the end just the fucking sweetest? That's so nice. Anyway, I was gonna say that CT is being kind of a cockblock, then realised the real cockblock is actually Sara. She doesn't say anything, then at 2:37 the one time that she talks throughout the entire video, she gets completely ignored and it's just like 'no, bitch. Shut the fuck up' lol
I'm a mexican girl and if Ezra was my boyfriend I would feed him burritos everyday...well, until he wanted to eat something else ;) I LOVE VAMPIRE WEEKEND
I don't have anything against Ezra's EX girl, but she is just awkwardly standing there in THEIR interview- Vampire Weekend, not Vampire Weekend and girlfriend! But besides that issue this video is hilarious :)

u'd think that chris would be third wheeling but clearly the true romance is between chris and ezra. sara never had a chance
I love the way ezra looked at the old woman at the end
That background music makes me think this is what the coolest episode of Sesame Street would be like.
"We're vampire weekend and we're here with our new friends *points to old people*" - aw ezzy u so cute

@HMClark1227 you're welcome:) i got it from News of the World (RUclips won't let me post a link :( ). but the article is called "Fangs for nothing Vampire Weekend"

I wanna hear what the lady had to say at the end...
"he made these albums in the 70s where he would, like, play duets with, like, humpback whales and wolves and stuff"

@CecilEubanks Maybe, but not spoken like a true Columbia student. Camping out in the library is the frequent (and sad) pastime of many a CU student.

Book and Stuff
Probably half, she has the Olivia Munn look going on.
Ezra’s girl looks like she’s trippin
Pity poor Sara! Invited to take part in the bit - despite not being in the band - but then not miked when she actually speaks...
Didn't they break up anyway?
is ezra's girlfriend half-asian?
2008...such a shitty year.
They Broke up...i think you're a contra is about Sara.....
i plan on marring him.
I'm a mexican girl and if Ezra was my boyfriend I would feed him burritos everyday...well, until he wanted to eat something else
;)
I LOVE VAMPIRE WEEKEND
You can't take a joke? & it's obvious i'm not gonna marry him :(
I don't have anything against Ezra's EX girl, but she is just awkwardly standing there in THEIR interview- Vampire Weekend, not Vampire Weekend and girlfriend! But besides that issue this video is hilarious :)
ezra should hold his girlfriend hand .
what up with this lame music playing in the background
