Video: Vampire Weekend – Giving Up The Gun (feat. RZA, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Jonas & Lil Jon)

How’s this for some Friday What The Fuckery? A Vampire Weekend tennis video featuring RZA as the umpire, Lil Jon as the coach, Jake Gyllenhaal, a Jonas Brother and their friend Jenny. If you were wondering how RZA and Lil Jon got involved he heard the reference to himself on ‘Oxford Comma’ and promptly sent the band “cases of Crunk Juice”. Nice. The vid was directed by the Malloy Brothers.
