VGI stands for “Valley Girl Intelligensia.” The song argues that girls can play into the “Valley Girl” stereotype, culture and modes of dress (ie scrunchies) and also be intelligent and formidable.
Kathleen Hanna, who created the first iteration of Julie Ruin as a solo project after starting Bikini...
I'm not a genius, I'm more like a genus
Granting girls wishes from my stonecold bikini, yeah
Serving up ideas like delicious kisses
I'll play with your mind but I won't do your dishes, boy
Say it again
[Chorus]
V.G.I
My philosophy
V.G.I
Is i'm a masterpiece
V.G.I
I wear a scrunchie
V.G.I
I'll say it again
I say, I say, an intellectual genie
I'll make your bullshit disappear like a hou-fucking-dini
Turntables around with my smile bright and gleaming
You think I'll take your order boy
You must be fucking dreaming
[Chorus]
V.G.I
My philosophy
V.G.I
Is I'm a masterpiece
V.G.I
I wear a scrunchie
V.G.I
I'll say it again
Cuz I'm extra special and I'm burning bright
I'm a ufo blazing through your starry night
You try to shoot me down because
You just don't understand
That a woman like me can't be bound to one plan
[Chorus]
V.G.I
I wear a scrunchie
V.G.I
And I'm a masterpiece
V.G.I
I'm a philosopher
V.G.I
I'll say it again
V.G.I
I wear a scrunchie
V.G.I
And I'm a masterpiece
V.G.I
And I'm a philosopher!
V.G.I
Say it again
I don't wanna say I want to
And I don't wanna say I don't
Sometimes the secret is
Sometimes the secret is, yes!
Yes! yes! yes!
Yes yes!
V.G.I
I'm a philosopher
V.G.I
And I'm a masterpiece
V.G.I
I wear a scrunchie
V.G.I
I'll say it again
