“
I'll give you diamonds and starlight, starlight, but I'm dead...
”
— Vicki, "Modern Espionage".


At Greendale during the 2015 semester, Vicki performed a one woman stage show entitled "Veni Vedi Vicki". Star-Burns was unimpressed with the first song "I Have Been Vicki the Most" and left the show early. He went to the parking garage and got roped into an unexpected one-on-one paintball battle with Todd. As they fought each other, Vicki was still performing on stage and singing the song "Starlight". The song was first heard in the Season Six episode "Modern Espionage".

Lyrics[]

Rainbows, pillows, cupcakes, angels,
London, horses, mittens, cocoa,
Vicki, dear sweet Vicki,
I won't be home tonight...
Vicki, you deserve more than this,
More than this,
I'll give you diamonds and starlight,
Starlight, but I'm dead...

Trivia[]

Julius Caesar[]

The title of Vicki's show is a reference to a Latin phrase "Veni, vedi, vici". It was made famous by Julius Caesar in 47 B.C. when he used it in a letter he wrote to the senate. In the missive he used the phrase to describe how easily he conquered the kingdom of Pontus after just five days. In English the words loosely translates to mean "I came, I saw, I conquered". It has since been used in the modern lexicon as a short hand for any kind of decisive victory.
