Johanna drove slowly into the city
The Hudson River all filled with snow
She spied the ring on His Honor's finger, oh-oh-oh
A thousand years in one piece of silver
She took it from his lily white hand
Showed no fear, she'd seen the thing
In the Young Men's Wing at Sloan-Kettering
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say oh
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say oh
Ay ay ay ay! Ay ay ay!
His honor drove southward seeking exotica
Down to the Pueblo huts of New Mexico
Cut his teeth on turquoise harmonicas, oh-oh-oh
I saw Johanna down in the subway
She took an apartment in Washington Heights
Half of the ring lies here with me
But the other half's at the bottom of the sea
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say oh
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say oh
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say oh
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say oh
Ay ay ay ay! Ay ay ay!

I was just about to reply to your first update post saying she likely has her license these days when I saw this. Thinking of my newly minted high schooler I couldn't agree with your comments more...

Just reminds me of Guitar Hero/Rock Band - one of the few tracks I could complete on a tougher difficulty 😁

Good memories. Now the daughter is 13, the son is 10, and there's another 5 year old boy. They still like this album though, and were still bouncing around together to this song just last week.

I only knew this song, so their Glastonbury set was a very pleasant, refreshing surprise. Smart.
Defenetly best wake-up music 😊
Bill said "Here's a bouncy little song from Vampire Weekend". That is a perfect description!!!
I never got on with Vampire Weekend's music when it first came out. However this song when listened to in isolation (pun unintended) is, remarkably, capable of putting a smile on my face for the first time in days. A great choice Bill.
Note also made to listen to the rest of the album again (which will be the first time in ten years... I should get with the plan!)

This thread reminds me of the Feist song "1-2-3-4", one of my daughter's faves when she was 5. She was just learning the alphabet. I printed out the lyrics and said, "Here, you can read this." She said, "I can't read." Then I started singing the song, pointed to the words and she got it.

That's awesome! My 12 year old just played this song for a School of Rock performance. Crazy!

My five year old (now six, again time flows unabated) loves Thunderstruck. It's his anthem. I don't even know where he heard it first. He once requested it in Sunday School. Imagine his disappointment.
Thank you :-)
He should have used Angus's stage outfit as a ticket in :-)
You must have had a good laugh about that.

Great, a song without any sound! Or was that a technical playback problem?

Thanks for this Flyboy :-) It's good to get such nice vignettes from listeners' lives. I agree time's just flying like there's no tomorrow. Good for you, you can enjoy cool music with your kids.
My daughter (11) is really into Queen (not because of the film, which she didn't see) and loves Black Sabbath's Iron Man. When I'm cooking and they're in the kitchen with me I let her rate the songs on RP :-)
Cheers, and rock on!

Full on thrash punk would make me happier, but nice try!

"She took the ring from his lilly white hand. She showed no fear. She'd seen the thing before at Sloan-Kettering." Lyrics like that deserve a little attention...just sayin
Kind of .....annoying.
A bunch of college boys who think all you need to do is pick up instruments and play some noise and you'll be famous.
Too bad they were right.
Thus soul-less noise.

Vampire Weekend sucks. No pun intended.
Oh yes - the XTC wannabe's with no soul......

This is probably their best song. The problem with this band is that they can't seem to escape their patrician, Ivy League pedigree. Its hard to care about a band that sings about a bus ride from one rich neighborhood to another in uptown Manhattan. Most bands with this kind of upbringing at least try to mask it somehow. I'm thinking of Radiohead and The Strokes as bands that jettisoned their well-heeled roots when it came to writing about more universal themes.

Sasha, I'm no fan of this band - but a life of luxury is just as valid and just as good fodder for art as any other life. Why would you want to mask who you are? Here's to more truth, more storytelling, more art. Photo-John wrote:

Vampire Weekend continues with their suckfest. Not a song on this album that rates above a 1.

(their follow-up album hasn't got me quite that much)
My favourites: Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa and The Kids Don't Stand a Chance
Maybe Bill and Rebecca have some sympathy with me and add the songs one distant day....

Any mention of raincoats puts me in mind of Richard Kadrey's anarcho-situationist novel Metrophage, where one of the characters declares: "I am here by the will of the people and I won't leave until I get my raincoat back."

I played this song for my nephew on a recent visit, as I knew he would appreciate the interesting guitar sound (he's a Guitar Hero junkie, and has quickly become an avid fan of all sorts of music) and the "Aye Aye Aye Aye" in it (as he is also a fan of "Blitzkrieg Bop" by The Ramones). Oh, and did I mention he's all of 10 1/2 years old?
Definitely worth buying if you like this song. These guys are very imaginative and playful. I bought it and have not been disappointed.

Annoying. Not as grating as Cloud Cult, who I'd like to kill. But I could certainly do without this.

This song makes me smile and want to dance, even if I don't understand the meaning of the lyrics, although they have an interesting fairytale quality to them.

I suppose it's only to be expected; every decade for the last 40 years some band or other comes along and pretends like no one has ever heard of skanking before...

After reading the English Beat comment below, I find myself singing 'Stand down Margaret, Stand down please, Stand down Margaret...' My own internal mash-up?

This is funny—and mostly true. But, I'm thinking not too many bands could successfully put those two influences together and make something as familiar and fresh at the same time.

Had this album since it came out, so perhaps a little tired of it. Its alright, but we've heard it all before. These boys must have only got 2 albums from Santa, Graceland and The Beats Greatest Hits (known as the English Beat to my US cousins I believe). All the "cool kids" have the right ball ache for them over here...if you know what I mean.

Sounds like that Weezer song about going surfing while the wife goes to work.

This song has the kind of energy I tend to associate with The Ramones' tune "I Wanna Be Sedated"...

2008? uh

Definitely one of the best albums this year. Nothing but fun when you're listening to this band.
Nice, it's about time.
They are pretty much more interesting live. Check out their videos on youtube. It was already about time RP played them.
finally VW arrives on RP! huzzah! 
love the whole album! total fun!

Hooray!!! Vampire Weekend!!!
I have been listening to these guys for about 1.5 years, and they are great...just fun...I like them even better because the are confident in their awkward, East Coast, Whiteboy ways. Kinda like how Byrne is confident in being awkward (not that I am comparing the two...). VW whole CD is great if you like this song.
I have been listening to these guys for about 1.5 years, and they are great...just fun...I like them even better because the are confident in their awkward, East Coast, Whiteboy ways.

Yes! I love this band! What a great album.
