The Ezra Is A Dreamboat factor is high in this one. As promised to John Norris, the video for "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" features a "narrative" and "preppy people" and "actual characters": Ezra plays the Andrew McCarthy role, Rostam and the Chrisses play the other members of Vampire Weekend. The first half is as John Hughesy as advertised -- all mansions and lives of leisure and sitting on linens with girls pretty in pink (see also) -- the second half is "Thriller," if imagined by Robert Smith.
Next time in Vampire Weekend: Peter Gabriel covers this song maybe.
