Pilar (Things Here Are Different)

Jill Sobule (born January 16, 1965 in Denver, Colorado) is an American singer-songwriter best known for the 1995 single "I Kissed a Girl", and "Supermodel" from the soundtrack of the 1995 film Clueless.

I'm the shame of my family
Your wonderful freedom, look where it's got me

[Chorus]

Things here are different
