"Cousins" off of their "Contra" record. There's catchy and then there's catchy with style. Vampire Weekend have always been on the preppy side of things but this song is not only that, but also a great burst of energy. With a fanatical lead guitar and percussion, they have the perfect musical landscape for a song about partying. This song is the perfect example of catchy combining with cool.
