Vampire Weekend
“Oxford Comma”
Live on Later with Jools Holland 2007
Vampire Weekend should play at least one show in which they perform “Oxford Comma” at the end of the main set, but after starting the second verse, the song would break down into total cacophony. At that point, Ezra Koenig would start screaming “WHO GIVES A FUUUUUCK ABOUT AN OXFORD COMMA AHHHHHH” a few times over some grinding, disgusting dirge riff. After maybe three minutes of that, they’d throw some stuff around and storm off the stage. A few minutes later, they would come back for an encore, and play the song totally straight. Smiling and polite.
