California English- Vampire Weekend (Week in Review)

"Funny how that little college girl called language corrupt"


Work is making me really busy. Plus, I got a virus, so it's another week in review. I'm really concerned for the youth of America, well, at least the collapse of correct English.  It's amazing how people believe that "your" and "you're" mean the same thing.  I realize facebook isn't exactly the place to display your most correct grammar and exhibit huge words, but, come on, when you ask someone out, it would be nice to use "you" instead of "u." What also is sad is that my friends sometimes make fun of the huge words I use.  I'm sorry I'm educated and actually care about how I talk.

Again, another vampire weekend.  Vampire weekend is a very intelligent band that does use plenty of correct grammar, large words, and worldly, historical references. Plus they make fun of bad English.


Wouldn't ever gag you with a spoon, my only true love
Never really heard you speak that way, it's unworthy of
Funny how that little college girl called language corrupt
Funny how the other private schools had no Hapa Club


Someone took a trip before you came to ski in the Alps
Your father moved across the country
Just to sunburn his scalp
Contra Costa, Contra Mundum, contradict what I say
Living like the French Connection, but we'll die in LA


Blasted from a disconnected light switch
Through the condo that they'll never finish
Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish
And through your brain to California English


No one sits inside a freezing flat and stays there 'til May
Leafing through a stack of A-Zs to surf the UK
Waiting with the wind against your face
And gel in your hair
Shivering in little undershirts, but don't seem to care


Blasted from a disconnected light switch
Through the condo that they'll never finish
Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish
And through your brain to California English


Sweet carob rice cake
She don't care how the sweets taste
Fake Philly cheese steak
But she use real toothpaste


Cause if that Tom's don't work
If it just makes you worse
Would you loose all of your faith in the good Earth


And if it's all a curse
And we're just getting worse
Baby, please don't lose your faith in the good earth


Blasted from a disconnected light switch
Through the condo that they'll never finish
Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish
And through your brain to California English
Blasted from a disconnected light switch
Through the condo that they'll never finish
Bounced across a Saudi satellite dish
And through your brain to California English
