A Song About the Oxford Comma

By /

I like Vampire Weekend’s stuff, like their early single A-Punk, but up until now I’d been completely unaware they wrote a song about the Oxford Comma (that take-it-or-leave-it punctuation rule without which “We invited the strippers, JFK, and Stalin” becomes  “We invited the strippers, JFK and Stalin.”)

Anyway, I am oblivious to this awesome track no longer. And now neither are you! NSFW lyrics.

    I’m a bit shocked actually, I learned what an Oxford comma was AFTER the song. Been using them for years though
