Oxford Comma lyrics by Vampire Weekend

And 4 comments down from here, coallies will give us all an example of why, although we should not care about the minutiae of diction as trifling as an Oxford Comma, we should still care about grammar and spelling just a little bit.

mlmcd223,

I think you're hilarious. I signed up just to tell you that

in response to Kollar...

just so you know, this song has nothing to do with the school oxford and whether or not the people from there are pretentious. it's about the use of a comma splice that can change the meaning of a sentence, and how the guys insists that nitpicking meaning is useless, when we all understand the gist of things.

also, the guys in the band DIDN'T go to oxford... they went to columbia university.

only a group of columbia kids could think of such witty lyrics to match a contagious beat =)

This is a very strange song but I like it, it's very good at the same time :)

this song is about givin out about a pretentious nd vain person. .. . the person caring about the use of an "oxford comma"(serial comma)again wit "all ur diction dripping wit disdain" meaning sum1 talking condescendingly about grammar then the reference to the dalai lama nd those who hav criticised his english & the references to "check ur passport" nd applying chapstick is again about vanity lyk check ur passport photo nd cover cracked lips nd again wit "adjust my tie" as in the person is thinking about presentability nd slightly neurotic. . . . . nd finally wit show ur paintings at the UN is again about bragging nd vanity. . . . . anyone agree?
