Am I the Same Girl? (Record and Sanders)
This is the Swing Out Sister Version although I took the Key (Bb) from Dusty
Springfield’s version. The song started out with a Vocal by Barbara Acklin, before
being turned into an instrumental called Soulful Strut by the Young Holt
Unlimited. It was used in the film The Parent Trap, in which Lindsay Lohan (like
Hayley Mills in the original), played both twins, hence the joke of using this song.

Have you ever felt the need for something more,
when every week comes scratching at your door?
Have you ever stopped and wonder what it is you're searching for?
Push your luck too far with me, but if you push it any further you won't have any.
