"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 satricial "Heroes", which suggests that every potential hero turns out to be deeply flawed:

:William Faulkner drunk and depressed:Dorothy Parker mean, drunk and depressed:And that guy in "Seven Years in Tibet" turned out to be a Nazi:The founding fathers all had slaves:The explorers slaughtered the braves:The Old Testament God can be so petty

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 "". The track "Rainy Day Parade" was featured on the soundtrack to the Ben Stiller film "Mystery Men".

The track "Rock Me to Sleep," co-written with Richard Barone, was featured on the television shows "Felicity," "Dawson's Creek," and "The West Wing." It was also covered by Sally Timms of the Mekons on her 1999 album, "Cowboy Sally's Twilight Laments for Lost Buckaroos".
