If Mowgli ever formed a band with his jungle friends, they would sound like Vampire Weekend. Just imagine: Baloo puffing on panpipes, bum-bashing in time with Shere Kahn to an if-you’re-sitting-still-you’re-paralysed drum beat. Pump in a smattering of chanting “eh-eh-eh-eh”s that would ricochet coconuts off trees better than Keef and you have the preppy-popsters’ newest single. Oh yes – if Walt Disney was still alive he’d be paying big bucks for these kids to soundtrack his next film. Not High School Musical, though. Cheerleaders would get confused trying to routine this.

i agree totally. anything but borin. not that there is anything wrong with more indie but if pip cleaned his ears out he or she might hear the differance in the music compared to all normal "borin" indie bands. sounds like george formby havin a fight with a load of school kids.... love it

A brill track from the New Yorkers. The guitar is so twinkly and cute, lyrics are so simple yet effective and the video is creative. piphenry you haven't got a clue mate. Like Operator Please this is another band who will be large in the UK in '08.

I heard this for the first time ever today and i thought the video was soooo amazingly funny! i was sitting all alone in my house and i burst out laughing!! They sound excellent too. If you don't like this band, then you obviously don't like good music!
See ya, i'm off to buy the album now!!
