It must be so fucking hard to pick a song to play on a show like this or whatever where they have one opportunity to show everyone who they are since their music is so diverse u can't put a pin on it.
Easily, one of the 10 best tracks of the decade...Awesome performance here by a very young VW. All they do is keep getting better, it's been an incredible ride thus far, keep it coming boys, much love, from your neighbor down in Philly.
I think certain people are having a hard time appreciating the relaxing trip they turned this song into. It's mellow and melodic, and sounds great at cruising speeds over the dashboard speakers.
The song makes me homesick any time I listen to it. Hi Rostam good job also thanks your mom on my behalf (little friend) for the great cookbook she published that able me to make Persian food for my kids and American wife specially the baklava, thank you.
my favorite part is how the whole band is so chill and relaxed looking except the drummer. I mean, that's not an insult, it's just kind of funny how obviously into it he is. I'd be like that too if I were playing the song. It's relaxing but just feels so badass to drum.
Lyrics: A devastating backstroke All the way from France With shiny, shiny cufflinks A shirtsleeve to enhance The pin-striped men of morning Are coming for to dance With pure Egyptian cotton The kids don't stand a chance You criticize the practice By murdering their plants Ignoring all the history Denying them romance The pin-striped men of morning Are coming for to dance Forty-million dollars The kids don't stand a chance I didn't like the business But that was at first glance Your pillow feels so soft now But still you must advance The pin-striped men of morning The partners in the dance The paper's shot to pieces The kids don't stand a chance
Man, if I would see those 4 "nerds" on the street I would not even notice them - but due to the fact that they rocked the shit out of this song with Vampire fucking Weekend, they now sparkle!
Yeah, haha... I gotta say that he is a fantastic drummer, although that might not be shown in this song... But rhytmicaly he is always perfect! As well as the whole band.
Vampire Weekend pretty much restored my faith in music.
Best release of '08 hands down.
rostam has such beautiful backing vocals. I'm seeing them live in 7 days!!!!
It’s been 11 years but how was it?
How was the show
He's also a fine Producer.
Seeing them in concert twice this weekend in Berkeley! Granted, without Rostam.
The girl playing the violin looked like she was having fun :) I love watching people play violin. They're always so energetic and graceful-looking
amazing. the drummer is really going for it on such a slow song
Very ringo
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard....:-)
This is the best arrangement of this song that I've heard so far. Good job Vampire Wkd, NBC and the C.O'Brian show directors!

She nailed that violin solo. She's amazing.
ITS A VIOLA 😭
Oh I remember watching this in 2020 now its 2050 and every one is dead except me and my computer
One of my favorite songs rn! It’s 2023. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Vampire Weekend ! Bring back your violinists in your next album(s) PLEASE !
Xander Lanister geniussss!

How any body can dislike this blows my mind. These dudes are FANTASTIC.
I'm in love with Koenig's guitar.
Amazing closer to the album.. the strings section is a really nice touch.
I love this 💜🎻🎧
In my opinion one of their best songs
I love it every damn time I watch it
I love cona,n he doesnt only shake the hands of the singer, he talks to the whole band.
This song is incredibly poetic and full of beauty... adore 😍
It sure is!
this album is great. i can't wait for the 2nd!
The ending sequence has infinite replayability.. never gets old
I love Ezra's high notes
I love the little bit of “raw” sound when he hits the apex of his range
one of their best imo
These Guys Are Gonna Go Far! I Can Feel It
+Cristian Jimenez you're being ironic right?
+john doe yep haha! This band rocks
Cristian Jimenez that song came out almost a decade ago...
Dude, still gets my motor running. It’s 2021

Man this was the 1st time I ever heard of Vampire Weekend and I loved it THANK YOU COCO! ;D
The song makes me homesick any time I listen to it. Hi Rostam good job also thanks your mom on my behalf (little friend) for the great cookbook she published that able me to make Persian food for my kids and American wife specially the baklava, thank you.
they did an amazing job, great performance
Love the strings in this song
I've never seen CT get so into a song
me encanta este pinche grupo, es de lo mejor es de lo mejor !!!
this i my favorite band
there is no one like them
i had never heard of them... but saw them on conan and bought the cd IMMEDIATELY... they are awesome... and i'm not even a big indie rock fan
love love love the viola solo
Agreed. It's amazing what a studio full of electronics and instruments can do. And, quite possibly most artists get worn out on tour.
now that you pointed it out, you're right!
Agree, Love this type of music.
SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO GOOD!!! Horchata is amazing..
Just like heaven!
the drummer is loving that shit. great song!
Absolutely love this song - just haven't got a flipping clue what the words mean!
they are so great!!!!
i like rostam's scarf. it's so badass. and only keyboardists can pull it off. kudos to rostam and cheers to having been introduced to these dudes.
I might see them soon.!!!!
I MISS YOU CONAN!!!
:'(
Love it. Can't wait to see them
Love the band! and the new album

VW IS AWEEEEEESOMEEE!!

I love this sooong!
CT really gets into the music 2:05

@bmpsound4 well done for correcting my error. im very impressed, you must be a musical genius for spotting that mistake.
my favorite part is how the whole band is so chill and relaxed looking except the drummer. I mean, that's not an insult, it's just kind of funny how obviously into it he is. I'd be like that too if I were playing the song. It's relaxing but just feels so badass to drum.

Haha! Thanks. :)
Ezra's voice is amazing!
I fucking love this band!

Lyrics:
A devastating backstroke
All the way from France
With shiny, shiny cufflinks
A shirtsleeve to enhance
The pin-striped men of morning
Are coming for to dance
With pure Egyptian cotton
The kids don't stand a chance
You criticize the practice
By murdering their plants
Ignoring all the history
Denying them romance
The pin-striped men of morning
Are coming for to dance
Forty-million dollars
The kids don't stand a chance
I didn't like the business
But that was at first glance
Your pillow feels so soft now
But still you must advance
The pin-striped men of morning
The partners in the dance
The paper's shot to pieces
The kids don't stand a chance
They do. It's due some time this fall :)
Love them more than babies.
@Chandlerkg11 very agreed. these guys are just good musicians. they can incorporate a lot of awesome sounds and instruments!
This is the best comment ever!!!!!
the bass player has some nice moves
@emoxgal123 actually its a violinist, a violist is somebody who plays the viola.
ur right david just like it does on the album
Solid musicianship
anyone who knows early XTC..this will remind you! love it!
@shegwin yeah that's a viola she's playing
i should know i play violin and viola
We’re trapped inside the matrix the kids don’t stand chanc I spelled chance wrong on purpose for copyright reasons
i wish i had cable so i could watch conan again
is it just me or is the viola solo the hottest thing
Fuck yeah viola solo! Glad we're being represented somewhere. :)
great song.. listen to the miike snow remix of it... golden
VIOLA rocks! :D
@danielodyssey he was a character in a movie the singer made that their band is named after
this sounds like a christmas song! =D i fucking love it!!
Talent level was never in question here.
Man, if I would see those 4 "nerds" on the street I would not even notice them - but due to the fact that they rocked the shit out of this song with Vampire fucking Weekend, they now sparkle!
More talented than people who don't wear scarves inside most of the time. Count it.
THE DRUMMER IS A BOPPIN' BADASS
Love the sample of Bach's Cello Suite
@DTdall88 I concur as well. Not too many bands I can say that sound fantastic live
this is fucking good music
Yeah, haha... I gotta say that he is a fantastic drummer, although that might not be shown in this song... But rhytmicaly he is always perfect! As well as the whole band.
dey sho shexy!
