"Andrew in Drag" is a song by American indie pop band The Magnetic Fields, released as the first single from their album Love at the Bottom of the Sea (2012).[1][2][3][4] The song - written from the point of view of a straight man who sees a straight friend perform in drag and is highly aroused by it - deals with the confusing nature, complexity, and evanescent quality of lust.
