Jill Sobule is the second album by American singer/songwriter Jill Sobule, released in 1995. (see 1995 in music). The disc contained the singles "Good Person Inside," "Supermodel," and "I Kissed a Girl."
The song "I Kissed a Girl" was banned from many radio stations in southern American states due to its controversial lyric where Sobule describes her character cheating on her boyfriend with a female friend. In response to the banning, Sobule reminices, joking: "I felt like Ice-T "Cop Killer." Cop Killer was a rap song that drew national fame and infamy due to its description of a gang beating and killing a police officer.
