Oxford Comma lyrics

Songwriters: Baio, Christopher Joseph; Batmanglij, Rostam; Koenig, Ezra; Tomson, Christopher

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
I've seen those English dramas too
They're cruel
So if there's any other way
To spell the word
It's fine with me, with me

Why would you speak to me that way
Especially when I always said that I
Haven't got the words for you
All your diction dripping with disdain
Through the pain
I always tell the truth

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford climber?
I climbed to Dharamsala too
I did
I met the highest lama
His accent sounded fine
To me, to me

Check your handbook
It's no trick
Take the chapstick
Put it on your lips
Crack a smile
Adjust my tie
Know your boyfriend, unlike other guys

Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
Why would you lie about anything at all?
First the window, then it's to the wall
Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth

Check your passport
It's no trick
Take the chapstick
Put it on your lips
Crack a smile
Adjust my tie
Know your butler, unlike other guys
Why would you lie about how much coal you have?
Why would you lie about something dumb like that?
Why would you lie about anything at all?
First the window, then it's through the wall
Why would you tape my conversations?
Show your paintings
At the United Nations
Lil' Jon, he always tells the truth

"Coal" may be a reference to diamonds, as in why would you lie about how much wealth you have.

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 :)
