Yes, Virginia is the third album from Boston-based band The Dresden Dolls, released on April 18, 2006. It is named for a line in the song "Mrs. O.", which in turn references a reply to a letter run in the New York Sun in 1897 about the existence of Santa Claus (see Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus). The first single from the album will be "Sing." Image File history File links Yesvirginia. ...
