Vampire Weekend performed “Dangerous Night,” written for I Think You Should Leave , last night at the Hollywood Bowl, inviting star Tim Robinson to join them onstage. The song was penned by frontman Ezra Koenig for the second season of the Netflix series, which aired in 2021. Koenig played a few minutes of the song during the band’s headlining performance at the Bowl before telling the audience, in reference’s to the track’s intro, “Now, you know this song is about a guy.
This guy used to be a real piece of shit. But people can change.” He added, “This guy is here right now, right tonight, come on man.
” Robinson took the stage, hugged Koenig, and bowed to the crowd. “Thanks for coming out, sir,” Koenig added before finishing the song. While Koenig wasn’t credited in the I Think You Should Leave episode, fans quickly recognized his voice.
During an appearance on Mark Hoppus’ After School Radio show on Apple Music in December of 2021, Koenig explained the origin o f the tune . “Basically through the producer, Akiva [Schaffer] from Lonely Island, I’d met Tim Robinson before over the years,” he said. “He’d come to a show.
I was a huge fan. He’d always been cool. And then, Akiva hit me up just saying, ‘Hey, the guys need a song for the next season of the show.
Could you do it?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, whatever.’ Anything for that show.” Trending Chappell Roan Opens Up to Crowd: 'My Career is Going Really Fast and It’s Hard to Keep U.
