Jenny came over and told me about Brad
He's such a hairy behemoth she said
And dumb as a box of hammers
But he's such a handsome guy
And I opened up and I told her about Larry
And yesterday how he asked me to marry
I'm not giving him an answer yet
I think I can do better

So we laughed, compared notes
We had a drink, we had a smoke
She took off her overcoat
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl

So she called home to say she'd be late
He said, he worried but now he'd feel safe
I'm glad you're with your girlfriend,
Tell her "Hi" for me
then I looked at you, you had guilt in your eyes
But it only lasted a little while
And then I felt your hand above my knee

And we laughed at the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl

I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet
She was just like kissing me
I kissed a girl, won't change the world
But I'm so glad
I kissed a girl

And we laughed at the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls
I kissed a girl (for the first time)
I kissed a girl (and I may do it again)
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl

I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet
She was just like kissing me (but better)
I kissed a girl

I kissed a girl, won't change the world
But I'm so glad
I kissed a girl (for the first time)
I kissed a girl (won't be the last time)
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl

Jill Sobule is much better than this song. They played songs from her last album a lot on WFUV (NY folk/americana station) and every time the DJs said "Jill Sobule" after a song I'd do a double take, cuz all I ever knew were this song and Supermodel, and her other songs that I've heard are so much better than either of those tunes.

How weird... I just read an online news story that Jodie Foster has just come out of the closet, finally (although apparently it's last week's news, and she didn't state it directly). Here's to Jodie!

Next up: Two Nice Girls' "I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer"... Ms. Sobule is great. This song is not representative of her catalog, she's more like 'Ani meets Phranc'. Speaking of which, since Bill's apparently starting a 'lesbian set', it'd be great to hear some Phranc. She wrote what may be the saddest song EVER, called 'Miriam and Esther', about her grandmothers. Saw her at Rice University years ago, and that song brought the entire house to tears. c.
oh my god, you just sent me through the lesbian twilight zone.

Wahooo! Great!!! Seems to be very important for Jill. But was it necesary to make a song about it?

Well, the cynic in me wants to retort, so you kissed a girl --was it so revolutionary you had to write a song about it? But the more generous side of me says who cares? it's a cute song and a sweet little tune. She doesn't have to be Judith Butler, does she?

WTF? I thought this was in some permanently inaccessible archive. Too bad.

I cannot celebrate a crappy song just because of it's attempts to bring social consciousness to the world, music should be good too.

Indigo Girls. Ani Difranco. For being into computers, you can't spell. As for this song... meh. IG and Ani are much better. Wack-A-Mole wrote:
Well I guess I'm a fool for girls that sing about liking girls. I like the Indego Girls and Annie de Franco also. I mean I really like their music no matter what the subject matter is. As an old fart from the hippie sixties I guess that I reallly like the rebellious fresh nature that these wormen bring to their music. Their sexuality issues just goes past me as I'm too into computers to even care.
