Andrew is the English form of a given name and surname common in many countries. Alternatives include André, Andrey, Andrei, Andrzej, Andrej, András, Andrés, Andrius, Andreas, Andreu, Anders, Antero and Endrew. ‘Andrew’ is a common name in English-speaking countries. In the 1990s it was among the top ten most popular names for boys in those countries. In Italian, the equivalent to "Andrew" is "Andrea", though "Andrea" is feminine in most other languages. Andrew is frequently shortened to "Andy" or "Drew".
The word is derived from the Greek: Ανδρέας, Andreas, itself related to Ancient Greek: ἀνήρ/ἀνδρός aner/andros, "man" (as opposed to "woman"), thus meaning "manly" and, as consequence, "strong", "courageous", and "warrior". In the King James Bible, the Greek "Ἀνδρέας" is translated as Andrew.
In 1990, the name Andrew was the seventh most popular name in Australia. In 1980, it was the 19th most common name, while in 1970, it was the 31st most common name. Andrew was the second most popular boys name in the Northern Territory in 1980. In Victoria, Andrew was the third most popular name for a boy in the 1970s.
Andrew Ettingshausen (born 29 October 1965) is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. He played his first grade Australian club football for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, retiring with the record of most games at a single club, with 328. Known for not only his deceptive pace, good hands and ability to score tries but also his solid defense, "ET" as he was known, represented both New South Wales and the Australian Kangaroos. After his retirement from league in 2000, Ettingshausen went on to host and produce his own fishing television show titled Escape with ET.
Ettingshausen was originally signed to the Cronulla side as a teenager before making his debut at eighteen while still at school. He quickly cemented a place in the Sharks first grade side and ultimately played 328 first grade games with the club over eighteen seasons. From a time in the early 1990s he was seen as the face of rugby league in Australia. His rugged good looks equipped him well to be pushed to the front by the marketers of the game at that time and Ettingshausen did not disappoint with his athletic skills attracting the interest of traditional fans while his looks appealed to a growing base of female fans. ET was successfully used in marketing not only for the game but for sponsors products as well, usually in photo shoots of him posing topless leading him to be seen as the 'Male Model of Rugby League'. Despite league being seen by not only the players but the public as a rough and tumble sport, it was a tag he never had to play down as his outstanding play and standing in the game made people look past what was not normally known for rugby league players.

Andrew Ross McMahon (born September 3, 1982) is a singer/songwriter. He is the vocalist, pianist and primary songwriter for the bands Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin; he also performs solo.
McMahon was born in Concord, Massachusetts. He briefly lived in New Jersey until 1991, when his family moved to Bexley, Ohio where he attended Cassingham Elementary School. His family relocated frequently due to his father's occupation in retail. McMahon recalls that while he was in fourth grade, they briefly stayed in California to support his mother's family after the loss of her brother. The death had a large impact on the family, and Andrew has a tattoo on his forearm in his uncle's memory. Following the death of his uncle, who was a musician himself, McMahon became inspired to get involved with music, and began teaching himself piano very soon afterward.
McMahon's family decided to settle in California shortly before he entered eighth grade. He would later describe himself as "a pudgy, outgoing, artistic little kid who never quite fit into the California scene". He graduated from the public Dana Hills High School in 2000.

Everybody knows if you’ve got the coolest clothes
You’ve got everybody on your side
Anyone can see if you hang around with me
You’ll be by yourself on Friday night
It’s hard to understand
If you never lose you never learn to want to win
When it all comes down
All around you now
Don’t let it bring you down
You had all the moves you had all the coolest doos
And you always had the coolest car
I never learned to dance, I had hair down to my ass
And now I’m gonna be a Rock Star
Raise your hands
Stomp your feet
I was trying to say
In the smoothness of the day
I'm asking you why
I can never, never reach you
During that quiet while
The wonder stopped nearby
I'm asking you why
I can never, never, never dare to
Ref:
How can I hold it?
He won't guess and I'm a freak
As usual
A fucking freak, is he too?
Still on that sunny day
I'm mute and I can't help
I'm desperate so what
't' ll be better, better one day
I've been trying to tell
The useless and the vague
Then I don't know why
I should ever, ever, ever dare to
Ref:
I was trying to say
But now the day has gone away
And I should know why
People should not ask why, ask why
Ref:
I was trying to say
