I love this song. No matter what mood I am when I hear it, I'm immediately happy whenever it comes on. Brings an ear to ear smile whenever I hear it.
That clip is awesome, downloading now
Made me smile.
that whole album is fantastic. The American press is proclaiming them to be the American Indie scene's answer to Arctic Monkeys (yes, its two different styles, but the heap of press and praise they've been getting since late December is quite similar to a certain foursome from Sheffield). The video was directed by Hammer & Tongs who did the video for "Coffee & TV" by Blur and the semi-disappointing film version of
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I mean in America virtually no one knew who Vampire Weekend was on December 1 and now they've played "Saturday Night Live" and have a Top 30 album in the US and UK.
