According to the Guardian, they shot in four countries (New Zealand, Canada, Fiji and the U.K.); took three months to build the set for the underwater scene; got army assistance to film the grass-hauling shots at an old bombing range; and hired the set designer from the third Lord of the Rings film to pull it all together.

So it looks like HP won the Vampire Weekend “A-Punk” sweepstakes. I can’t believe the song took this long to get put into a commercial. Was it such an obvious choice that no one even tried to get it? Or do you think VW’s management held the song hostage, cause they knew they could get a hefty ransom for it?

Kinda timely with their new album coming out as well. I for one have been wondering when stadiums were gonna start using the “Hey Hey Hey’s!” from the song for sporting event chants and what not.
