Pink Pearl

Pink Pearl is the fourth album by American singer/songwriter Jill Sobule, released in 2000. (see 2000 in music). The record, whose name is both a model of pencil eraser by Eberhard Faber and a slang term for the clitoris, contains the singles "One of These Days" and "Rainy Day Parade". The album includes the satirical "Heroes", which suggests that every potential hero turns out to be deeply flawed: The album's "Mary Kay" is a joking yet sympathetic take on Mary Kay Letourneau, the teacher who had sex with a 13-year-old student. "Lucy at the Gym" is a portrait of anorexia. The song "Mexican Wrestler" was later covered by Emma Roberts on the TV series Unfabulous, for which Sobule writes the music, and also appeared on Roberts' 2005 album...
