    fuck i didn't know about the M.I.A. sample in this. According to Song Facts: "The song features a percussive vocal sample from M.I.A.'s "Hussel"" Explains why is my favorite vampire weekends song!!

    The best song on Contra, though it has some serious competition.

    This song always reminds me to go back and listen to Discovery. And if you haven't listened to Discovery, go look them up. It's Rostam's side project. :]
