Wiki
"Mansard Roof" is the debut single by indie rock band, Vampire Weekend, released on October 23, 2007. This opening track sets the tone for the entire album.
A mansard roof is a type of roof typically found in the region of Cape Cod in Massachusetts, which goes with the Ivy League image the band has cultivated. Ironically (but intentionally), this track’s lyrical content is in fact critical of elitism and imperialism.
