I start every interpretation of lyrics with a nod to my students - I teach special ed high school and my kids are incredibly brilliant. Kids with learning differences are SO SMART!! I think the references included here are absolutely correct but my student tagged it in a meta way - "Miss, the guy singing this song thinks he is so great - he judges other people and that's not right - he really isn't so great. But Miss, it's just that Of Montreal guy pretending he is a charachter like that. He is really cool." Special ed rocks... Love those kids... Of Montreal is coming to the Langerado Music Festival in Florida next week. i can't go - broke and have to work - hope some of you out there get to see them! |

| Vampire Weekend – Oxford Comma Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I teach remedial reading at an "alleged" special ed high school (smartest kids in the world are kids with learning differences!!) and I think this song is advocating "content before structure". For example, my kids write essays and they may be spelled wrong and not have the proper grammatical structure but THEY ARE INCREDIBLE!! And like I say to my students - 'I don't care if it's spelled right - grammar - whatever - I just want to know what you think - I want to know your ideas." We analyze a song each week for comprehension and I can't wait to tell them about this site. I've wanted to play this song for them - it tells them how smart they are - but of course it has fuck in it so i can't. However, last week a bitchy teacher was complaining about how "dumb" the kids were and I said "Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?" and walked off. Ha ha sure she didn't get it yet she thinks she is SO SMART!! Remember hemlock echo - there is a difference between formal education and intelligence. INTELLIGENCE IS ORIGINAL AND CAN BE THE PRODUCT OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES!!! Special Ed rocks ... |
