“A-Punk” clocks in at just over two minutes, but its awkward, reference-filled narrative, guitar, prep, and diversity with instruments like the chamberlain allow it to be extraordinarily popular as well as a sterling example of a Vampire Weekend song.

“A-Punk” was certified gold by the RIAA on July 12th, 2013. It was the band’s first track to ever receive an RIAA certification.
