How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Giant”, the bonus track from Contra, seems to be a token rap track with its mentions to California, Thrasher Magazine, and yachts. However, within the context of the almost-faux prep of Vampire Weekend, it seems to be more of a satire than a reality.
“Giant” was first played September 7, 2007, at the Music Hall of Williamsburg and originally was titled “Little Giant” but was renamed to avoid confusion with film Little Giants.
