- Well, I've always kind of enjoyed Erasure's version of 'River deep,
- mountain high', in which Andrew sings "When I was a little girl/
- I had a rag doll/The only doll I ever owned/And now I love you just
- like that rag doll/Only now, my love has grown".

- Andrew's a BIG girl now. And wears a dress like NO other sister!
