Musician Jill Sobule is taking things into her own lubed-up hands!

The I Kissed A Girl one-hit wonder is turning to fans for help with with her next record.

Sobule has set up a website where fans can donate money to her album effort.

Yeah, she's practically begging!

Jill's goal is to raise $75,000. In one month she's already raised $54,000.

Hey, begging works!

Contributors can choose a level of pledges ranging from the $10 "unpolished rock," which earns them a free digital download of her disc when it's made, to the $10,000 "weapons-grade plutonium level," where she promises "you get to come and sing on my CD. Don't worry if you can't sing — we can fix that on our end."

For the $500 "gold level," Sobule will mention your name in a song, maybe even rhyme with it. The $750 "gold doubloons level" is "exactly like the gold level, but you give me more money."

For a $5,000 contribution, Sobule said she'll perform a concert in the donor's house!

She set the $75,000 goal because she wanted to do things right. Well-known producer Don Was has agreed to work with her, and she expects friends like Cyndi Lauper and John Doe to sing with her. She also needs to pay for making and distributing the CDs, and promotion to publicize it.

This experience has allowed Sobule the opportunity to really get to know her true fans. The few hundred she has.

Sobule always let the business people do their thing while she concentrated on being the artist.

"I lived like that forever and this time, this is fun," she said. "This is creative."

Desperate times call for desperate measures!
