Jill Sobule - Supermodel
Posted by Randy Jackson at 12:00 am in Pop, Rock, Singer/Songwriter

Jill SobuleI love this song, and I’m amazed it wasn’t a huge hit (although it did reasonably well). It’s a nice, tongue-sharply-stabbed-through-the-cheek indictment of how girls view beauty–although it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if many fans of the song don’t get the joke. The music has a great beat and is easy to dance to, the melody sticks in your head, it’s very well crafted.

I couldn’t find the original music video, but " target="_blank" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker('/outbound/www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQsspkb1tA0_br_/');">here’s something someone did

And of course, the lyrics:

I don’t care what my teachers say
I’m gonna be a supermodel.
Everyone is gonna dress like me,
wait and see

When I’m a supermodel
and my hair will shine like the sea.
Everyone wants to look like me
me…………….

Cause I’m young and I’m here and so beautiful,
I’m gonna be a supermodel
(2x)

I wish that I was like Tori Spelling,
with a car likes hers and dad likes hers.
And I show them how how it was done.
That be fun, that be fun.

And I write my schoolreport,
why I love my jeans, why I love my jeans.
And oh, on my lockerdoor it is the coolest thing
that you have ever seen.

Cause I’m young and I’m here and so beautiful,
I’m gonna be a supermodel
(2x)

I didn’t eat yesterday,
I’m not gonna eat today
I’m not gonna eat tomorrow
Cause I’m gonna be a supermodel

so beautiful…….I’m gonna be a supermodel
Cause I’m young and I’m here and so beautiful,
I’m gonna be a supermodel
(4x)

I’m gonna be a supermodel
I’m gonna be a supermodel
