"Oxford Comma" is the third single by Vampire Weekend, released May 26, 2008, from their debut album "Vampire Weekend". In this number about linguistic imperialism, the New York band appear to be criticizing the 19th century English intellectuals that created and enforced such rules of language as the Oxford comma. As far as Vampire Weekend are concerned content should come before structure. The lyrics refer to Lil' John, surely the only instance of a song about punctuation to reference the Atlanta crunk maestro.
