Vampire Weekend and A Bonus Grammar Lesson!

I have been listening to this incessantly. Just had to share:

Oxford Comma by Vampire Weekend



I was so amused by the title because, just recently, I randomly learned what the Oxford Comma is. I will proceed in giving you a grammar lesson:

Which sentence is correct?:

I am festive, extravagant, and a grammar-freak.
or...
I am festive, extravagant and a grammar freak.


The second sentence. As you hopefully noticed, sentence no. 2 lacked a comma for the third listed article. So the Oxford Comma is indicated correctly when you leave out the comma linking 'and' in a list of items.

Just had to get that off my chest. I like feeling smart.
