OH MY GOD. I'VE BEEN WATCHING THE OTHER, UNDER-PIXELLATED VERSION OF THIS MUSIC VIDEO FOR YEARS. I CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE VIDEO. I CAN READ HER SHIRT. ASDFGHLASEOIFJ
I like when they are walking down the beach following her and they are all chill down the beach except rostam hes all hunched over the keytar struggling to keep up
1:28 girl walks into the room. Girl: What? I thought Vampire Weekend sounded like an emo name when I found it on the internet?! I'll just runaway so you can chase me and then transform you into something more appropriate for your name.
And that is why it's not a good idea to follow ANYONE into woods in the dark! I'm not saying been a goth is a bad thing, just that if you follow someone into woods in dark, you will have some weird magic curse put on you! I mean, for all he knew, he could have turned into a werewolf, instead of a goth, and then no one would be happy! haha
1) Hold your breath. 2) Copy all of these steps. 3) Go to two other video. 4) Paste it in the comments. If you can do all of this without breathing you're a good pot smoker yes!!
@AmandaXxXPlease OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SNAP! it does to me too! :D AAAAAAAAAAAH! that is soooo cool you made that reference! :D Vampire Weekend is the best band EVER!
i wish i had partys like that in my back yard but NOOOO!!! i cant even get me grass to be green without having the cops go up my ass about water problems!

Jajajaj
The way Rostam walks in the sand always kills me, as well as the transformation at the end of the video ahahahah
here we observe Ezra go through his emo phase for 39 seconds
emaciatedunicorn Yeah more like goth phase ya noob
I can't believe this was directed by the same guy who did submarine
If Ezra Koenig was chasing me down a beach with a guitar,
I wouldn't run.
and this is how Green day was formed...
hahahahhahaha
isnt it The Cure rather?
LOL!
A-punk solidified that they were a good band to me, but this song is honestly what really made me fall in love with them:)
Whoa wait Richard Ayoade directed this I'm so happy
every time i hear a vampire weekend song i’m like “oh, that’s who i am” because my parents basically raised me on them
This gon be me with my kids
Gotta raise them with the best!
Funny cuz I let my baby brother listen to VW and he loves them! Especially Apunk, so he’s basically grown with them. I feel so happy he likes them too
I just really like Ezra's everything I mean I just
The sky on the beach looks just like the sky on MGMT's album Oracular Spectacular.
This video was directed by gadget man, I’m not kidding you
so Vampire Weekend turned into the Cure?
+Javier Salinas I was thinking that hahaha!
They predicted Little Dark Age
Heavy paul simon graceland album vibes. Love it!
I fucking love, Ezra Koenig!
i want ezra to serenade me
Just came from the other version of this video that has 240p & has millions of views. Now I'm like: woaa, much quality
Lol, she turned Vampire Weekend into Green Day.
No, I think The Cure
"NOOOO DON'T MAKE ME EMO NOOOOOOOO"
someone owned a Paul Simon album or ten
best comment :D
Particularly "Graceland"
Omg I just can't stop crying to this, lost of memories unlocked 😭
Wow. So Ezra Koenig can transform into Robert Smith.
i have no idea what this music video is trying to tell me but i love the vibes
This music video just feels so 80s i can't even deal hahaha
gorgeous vid! Richard Ayoade is one talented dude.
Finally
5k
I like when they are walking down the beach following her and they are all chill down the beach except rostam hes all hunched over the keytar struggling to keep up
Play it on 1.25 speed or higher. You get weird version of African Pop or cult pop..
This sounds very angolan/mozambican!!
imagine being one of Ezra's former students and seeing him on MTV one day
that would be a dream
Honestly one of my favorite vampire weekend videos
How did they film this to make it look like it was filmed in the 80's
I mean... costumes? Obvious?
Old camera like that? Or maybe they put it through a VHS
Richard Ayoade (the director) is brilliant!
@@geager2 woooooow he did lots of coool videos !!
Omg , VW plus richard Aoyade , Obv , i like those guys , smart people , give me joy .
This is what i play whenever im going to the beach
why did the unofficial video get 8 mil views in 240p
2018 and still my favorite band♡
So that’s how emo people are made!
I can't believe this came out eleven years ago. I remember jamming to this in High School XD
HOW ARE THEY SO COOL?! This video is hilarious and genius! I loveee Vampire Weekend! :)
"Is your bed made?" Oh my god that's so deep, i'm crying.
And Ezra is gorgeous as usual :D.
1:39 just look at rostam i love him hahaha
Finally i can actually see whats happening in the video
ahahaha 1:40 Rostam looks so cold
1:35 when he waves for them to go i was like how is he gonna bring those drums and he brings little ones xD made me laugh
still fresh in 2016!
Oh my this video is 10 years now
Am i the only ome who saw the mom's head in the beginning
I kinda remindes me to the Talking Heads or D Byrne ... kinda
dont you just want to marry Ezra????!!!
i am madly in love with ezra :) who agrees that he's the most amazing person everrr? lol :P
Winona Ryder needs to chill
1:28 girl walks into the room.
Girl: What? I thought Vampire Weekend sounded like an emo name when I found it on the internet?! I'll just runaway so you can chase me and then transform you into something more appropriate for your name.
Dude be young.
This is the first song I heard of them, this is the song I fell in love with this band
Lol the goth transformation is hilarious
insert joke on Justin Trudeau
here
I love how Chirs is like just barefoot
Ezra reminds me of a 2000s Paul Simon.
@Name Face Hey thanks for the suggestion, the song is fantastic, i love it!
if CT is wearing socks and sandals..
Reminds me of when I was 17
This is weird even by vampire weekend standards
Their videos are always the coolest!
that the 80s were obviously better?
that is TERRIBLE the worst EVER its worse that noseybonk theme tune
I love the bass (or whatever it is) at 1:32.
Underrated
It's taken me this long to realize that that's the same girl that's in the giving up the gun video
I was looking for this lol.
Do you wanna fart like you know I do. 1:04
And that is why it's not a good idea to follow ANYONE into woods in the dark! I'm not saying been a goth is a bad thing, just that if you follow someone into woods in dark, you will have some weird magic curse put on you! I mean, for all he knew, he could have turned into a werewolf, instead of a goth, and then no one would be happy! haha
Directed By Richard Ayoade?!
thought Ezra had some style, then I saw him wear a jean jacket with jeans, that's a definite faux pas
finally, sd quality
Isnt that the girl from Giving Up The Gun?
:D
1) Hold your breath.
2) Copy all of these steps.
3) Go to two other video.
4) Paste it in the comments.
If you can do all of this without breathing you're a good pot smoker yes!!
the girl forgives him and they both go off to play tennis with joe jonas...O_o
3:17 I ALMOST PEED MY PANTS
@AmandaXxXPlease OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SNAP! it does to me too! :D AAAAAAAAAAAH! that is soooo cool you made that reference! :D Vampire Weekend is the best band EVER!
This still lives rent free in my head after all these years 🤣
i wish i had partys like that in my back yard but NOOOO!!! i cant even get me grass to be green without having the cops go up my ass about water problems!
1: go to 0.00
2: press and hold left arrow key
3: push up arrow key
4: you'll be able to play snake!
thumbs up if this works!!
Louis Vitton!!
I love how the two Chris' aren't wearing any shoes when they go through the sand
You would think that there would be more black people in this video considering the fact that this music was stolen from Africa....
In 10 years you will remember that you liked this band and you will think to yourself "why was i such an asshole 10 years ago"
ezra turned into adam lambert! now ive seen everything. besides a man eating his own head. still havent caught that one.
@MrKidHD lol first i was amazed... then i thought i was nuts... but now i know i wasn't ... well... i am a little bilt :)
oh my god, I just noticed the punk styled girl is the person from Vampire Weekends "giving up the gun" music video.
ok... so... does it feel like Peter Gabriel... or is Peter Gabriel unnatural... or does Peter Gabriel feel unnatural?
Was this made in the 80's? No Music this good can possibly have been produced in this generation... plus the clothes
Yessir, Richard directed it! I had a fangirl moment when I found out.
@musicdork4ever no he said do you want ta! Like you know I do, like you know I dooOOOoooOOOOooooOOOOooooo.
@onla123 well if they're a mixture of the wiggles and the beatles, which one of them is the purple one?
Ezra looks do dreamy ugh
is it just me or is everyone really skinny in this video..
PS they were awesome at splendour in the grass on sunday :)
dude! it's the tennis girl from giving up the gun :)
why does vampire weekend sometimes remind me of queen? o.O
You know that movie Being John Malcovich? Yeah, someone should do a movie like that about Ezra
@dylananenberg
I'm not looking for to be original...
Just spreading this awesome phenomenon.
