THIS WAS WRITTEN EARLY 2010 The bands first ballad....I Think Ur A Contra, which is about Ezra’s break-up with his girlfriend Sara. “It’s the most out-and-out emotional song I’ve written,” says Ezra. “There’s a lot of lyrics about conflict on the record, especially there.” “It’s basically about a couple saying, ‘How did we end up like this?’” He breaks off with a wry chuckle. “And, well, I don’t currently have a girlfriend, so I don’t have to worry about what my partner thinks of that song." :)
I know this was 7 years ago and everything so this comment is really late but im pretty sure 'taqueria y fonda' is referenced in the lyrics of california english pt 2
Haha Tomson regarding the library, "Did you ever even go in here...? I never really... I came in here like twice.." Spoken like a true collegiate individual.
@HMClark1227 you're welcome:) i got it from News of the World (TH-cam won't let me post a link :( ). but the article is called "Fangs for nothing Vampire Weekend"
"he made these albums in the 70s where he would, like, play duets with, like, humpback whales and wolves and stuff" lmao what and the old people at the end. omg i can't breathe, i'm laughing so hard wtf was that
wow ok when chris starts making those movements with his hands to describe the burrito and how big they are, icouldn't help giggling. v immature haha and wtf the elderly are crazy
Wasn't that old lady at the end just the fucking sweetest? That's so nice. Anyway, I was gonna say that CT is being kind of a cockblock, then realised the real cockblock is actually Sara. She doesn't say anything, then at 2:37 the one time that she talks throughout the entire video, she gets completely ignored and it's just like 'no, bitch. Shut the fuck up' lol
I'm a mexican girl and if Ezra was my boyfriend I would feed him burritos everyday...well, until he wanted to eat something else ;) I LOVE VAMPIRE WEEKEND
I don't have anything against Ezra's EX girl, but she is just awkwardly standing there in THEIR interview- Vampire Weekend, not Vampire Weekend and girlfriend! But besides that issue this video is hilarious :)

u'd think that chris would be third wheeling but clearly the true romance is between chris and ezra. sara never had a chance
I love the way ezra looked at the old woman at the end
That background music makes me think this is what the coolest episode of Sesame Street would be like.
"We're vampire weekend and we're here with our new friends *points to old people*" - aw ezzy u so cute

You could tell that Ezra was like okay lady stop talking haha...who was that anyways....Chris and Ezra are so cute in this

"I went in there to get books...and stuff"
That made me lol. It's a library, durff!
While the old lady talks, ezra looks like: wtf there is no good.
Ya hey ya hey ya hey!
Haha Tomson regarding the library, "Did you ever even go in here...? I never really... I came in here like twice.." Spoken like a true collegiate individual.
This is just gold.
That sweet lady at the end really made my week. I mean! So nice. :)
Sara seems really pretty and nice
aww i miss my hometown so much.i always used to hang out in that area.
I love the music. I love it. It's like a parody of them
Also the bit with the old people never ceases to make me laugh
0:42 a mansard roof through the trees on the left
Argh, I used to go to those places back in NY...
Little old grandma rocks! :D

"so she's the enemy."

I stood outside of Taqueria y Fonda and felt really happy.
Chris ❤️❤️
EZRA'S FACE WHEN THE LADY AT THE END IS TALKING OMG
"We're here with all of our new friends."
i swear chris just goes everywhere with them.
Chris and ezra are the definition of cute. And thats that :D
so kool
one of their songs, 'california english part 2' uses the line 'of all the taquerias y fondas...' now I know what it means and where they got it from
3:08 -- surprise Andrew Vanwyngarden appearance
@HMClark1227 you're welcome:) i got it from News of the World (TH-cam won't let me post a link :( ). but the article is called "Fangs for nothing Vampire Weekend"
idk to me the most important part of this video was the old lady at the end
forget ezra he's old news
vampire weekend & paul winter should do a collab on the new album ok
and oh my GOODNESS what a cute video this is
ezra is sooo good looking ( to me anyway)
what was with the old lady at the end?
can you get the links to the pics?
chris hands in the the pocket
there funny
I wanna hear what the lady had to say at the end...
Accurate
da old ladies at da end. lol
yeee 115th & Amsterdam in teh hause
My mama goes to columbia bwahahaha
@CecilEubanks Maybe, but not spoken like a true Columbia student. Camping out in the library is the frequent (and sad) pastime of many a CU student.
"he made these albums in the 70s where he would, like, play duets with, like, humpback whales and wolves and stuff"
lmao what
and the old people at the end. omg i can't breathe, i'm laughing so hard wtf was that
wow ok when chris starts making those movements with his hands to describe the burrito and how big they are, icouldn't help giggling. v immature
haha and wtf the elderly are crazy
and wow, sara is my cousin too! isn't that funny? what a big family we all have
Book and Stuff
Wasn't that old lady at the end just the fucking sweetest? That's so nice.

Probably half, she has the Olivia Munn look going on.
Didn't they break up anyway?
is ezra's girlfriend half-asian?
Pity poor Sara! Invited to take part in the bit - despite not being in the band - but then not miked when she actually speaks...
Ezra’s girl looks like she’s trippin
They Broke up...i think you're a contra is about Sara.....
2008...such a shitty year.
i plan on marring him.
You can't take a joke? & it's obvious i'm not gonna marry him :(
I'm a mexican girl and if Ezra was my boyfriend I would feed him burritos everyday...well, until he wanted to eat something else
;)
I LOVE VAMPIRE WEEKEND
I don't have anything against Ezra's EX girl, but she is just awkwardly standing there in THEIR interview- Vampire Weekend, not Vampire Weekend and girlfriend! But besides that issue this video is hilarious :)
what up with this lame music playing in the background
ezra should hold his girlfriend hand .
