Trapped in the Body of a White Girl is a 1987 album by Julie Brown. [1] [2]

Julie Brown American actress, comedienne, screenwriter, singer-songwriter and television director

Julie Ann Brown is an American actress, comedian, screen/television writer, singer-songwriter, and television director. Brown is perhaps best known for her work in the 1980s, where she often played a quintessential valley girl character. Much of her comedy has revolved around the mocking of famous people.

Brown independently re-released the CD in 2007 via her own pressing and available through her website. The rights to the album were sold in a larger deal to the Noble Rot label, which re-released it officially in 2010.

Though Brown is a comedian, not all of the songs are strictly comedic in nature. The singles "I Like 'em Big and Stupid", "Trapped in the Body of a White Girl" and "Girl Fight Tonight!" were released. "Homecoming Queen" was a B-side to "Stupid" and was far more successful and popular, but did not feature on a single of its own. Brown didn't release another music recording until 2005.
