The much-talked about John Hughes-inspired video for Vampire Weekend‘s song “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa” has been revealed on their MySpace page. There’s also a nod to “Thriller” in the second act of the video, with the band turning into a goth-y, Cure-loving looking band. (Probably a not so subtle mocking of VW’s perpetual preppiness as played up in the press.)

The resounding verdict? A big ol’ “HUH?”

Watch for yourself:
Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa

I liked the last video where they ripped off/made fun of Wes Anderson better, but still… can’t someone pitch more original ideas to these guys? This novelty video shiz is getting old real fast.

The long-awaited Directors Label DVDs are finally getting released on October 28 featuring discs of Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, and Chris Cunningham. Now you can play this stuff over and over on your SONY Wega flat-screen TV while you try out your LEGO animation studio on the other side of your computer room. Geek.
