Oxford Comma (song) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Oxford Comma (song)
"Oxford Comma" is the third single by Vampire Weekend, released May 26, 2008, from their debut album, ''Vampire Weekend''. == Song title and meaning == On January 28, 2008, Michael Hogan of ''Vanity Fair'' interviewed Ezra Koenig regarding the title of the song and its relevance to the song's meaning. Koenig said he first encountered the Oxford comma (a comma used before the conjunction at the end of a list) after learning of a Columbia University Facebook group called Students for the Preservation of the Oxford Comma. The idea for the song came several months later while Koenig was sitting at a piano in his parents' house. He began "writing the song and the first thing that came out was 'Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?'" He stated that the song "is more about not giving a fuck than about Oxford commas." The song's lyrics contain multiple references to rapper Lil Jon (claiming that "he always tells the truth"). Lil Jon sent Vampire Weekend a case of crunk juice as thanks for the name check,〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxEo3Jd5ONY&feature=related〕 and a friendship formed between Vampire Weekend and Lil Jon that would pan out into Lil Jon's cameo in the music video for "Giving Up the Gun". Also mentioned is the city of Dharamsala, the city in exile home of the 14th Dalai Lama ("the highest lama"), who is the current Dalai Lama.
