If you’ve ever seen the video, you might already know the question: Was it a guy? ---

I seem to remember seeing a bit of Adam’s Apple when she was in profile and singing along with Tom. So probably so. Besides, her singing that “I’ve got a little space to fill,” line was too juicy of a joke for it not to be. Nice cleavage though. ---

My money says it was the real thing. Jugs were probably fake, tho. ---

Great question…I’ve always heard that it was Tom in drag, but no way. She is questionable though…anybody got any real information? ---

Regardless. it was a good video…I loved the carousel effect… ---

How could it be Tom when they both sing into the mike at the same time at one point, harmonizing-style.?That seems a little unlikely in the whole video is one long take. ---
