I know this thread is becoming overrun with talking about VPW and not this songbut I just have one more observation: The name 'Born Ruffians' actually means something ie they are rugged and no bullshit (I think). But what the hell is a 'Vampire Weekend' ? Even if that does have a meaning its probably just an attempt at being profound that comes off as pretentious and stupid in my opinion. O well lets get back to the song, shall we?
That's quite a strawman you've got there rebellumberjack. I'm sick of the the Vampire Weekend comparisons too, but that's no reason to assume things about the intentions of the band in naming themselves Vampire Weekend. Much to your chagrin (sorry you don't get to hate them for this anymore), their name comes from an amateur horror film one of the members of the band (not sure which one) made a few years before the band was formed (the movie was called "Vampire Weekend").
