GameFAQs is making me censor Ezra Koenig's last name below and I'm not sure why (or which specific iteration is causing the problem since this one worked)?

177. Vampire Weekend Hannah Hunt (2013)
From the album Modern Vampires of the City

Key lyrics:
Though we live on the US dollar
You and me, we got our own sense of time

From the beginning, Ezra ****** was a brilliant lyricist. Vampire Weekends first two albums paired this with a twee sound that balanced a strange line between prime hipsterdom and mainstream appeal. Their self-titled debut is itself a modern classic, but a strong yet familiar follow-up in Contra suggested they might have a limited range. Developing a mature sound as complex as ******s lyrics, Vampire Weekend proved themselves all-time greats with Modern Vampires of the City. Few songs showcase this as well as Hannah Hunt, a gentle song that explodes into a passionate plea during its finale.

The first verse has wonderful imagery, ****** quick on the wordplay. The narrator appears baffled by a claim of moving plants, only to cite two stationary plants with moving names as proof. ****** continues to describe a couple travelling all across the United States, literal imagery implying growing conflict as the girl grows frustrated with their travels. The song closes with two repetitions of the chorus, the first dropping out much of the instrumentation. Shortly after, the song spontaneously bursts with energy, ****** shouting his anger. The general downtempo sound through much of the song forms a perfect contrast for its cathartic release. Few songs capture the dawning horror of a relationship ending like Hannah Hunt.
