When a band takes on the idea of covering a song by Bruce Springsteen, they also have to deal with the legions of the Boss's fans nitpicking at every single note, vocal inflection and type of jeans they wore while playing the song. With this case, we bring you indie-rock darlings Vampire Weekend (Vampy Weeks to the insiders) presenting their version of "I'm Going Down."
