# New Video: The Vaccines – I Wish I Was A Girl

*By Altwire Staff · December 21, 2013*

Director Yousef Eldin has shot a short film with The Vaccines' "I Wish I Was A Girl" taken from their 2012 album "Come of Age". It was released via [Noisey](https://www.vice.com/en/topic/noisey):

> "A throwback to the sexually subversive songs from the 60s, The Vaccines "I Wish I was A Girl" takes on new meaning of personal aspirations and not conforming to type, when it's placed into a post Arab Spring setting."
