The Filipino traditional itik-itik dance is performed in a three quarters rhythm: 1 2 3 / 1 2 3. A dancer begins by stepping out with the heel of one foot while taking two small steps toward the starting foot. The footwork is very choppy and repetitive. Each step lies on a beat. The dancer must push out her hips opposite from her starting point on count 1 and bring it back to center for counts 2 and 3. The arms are extended with one arm above shoulder level and the other below shoulder level. The arms flap to shoulder level ticking on every count. There is an obvious tilt in the head towards one shoulder on count 1. The dancer can also sway a waltz step while extending her arms from side to side with fluttering fingers. Itik-itik is performed as an exciting imitation of ducklings.

Elisabeth was a former girlfriend. I believe (from my interpretation of the lyrics to "I Wish I Was A Girl") that Elisabeth is a former girlfriend who believed that Adam was cheating on her while he was out on tour, and it lead to the dissolution of their relationship. (Which is why he wishes he were a girl, because she would believe him if he were one of her girl-friends.) I don't know other songs she is mentioned in very well though, like Goodnight Elisabeth. However, that annabegins.com site I mentioned earlier has a section called "THE MEANINGS" which might help...
I personally find Anna far more interesting... and whomever that girl in Carriage is...
