| Song |
Whistle for the Choir is a song by the Fratellis, and their third single. It was released on 27 November 2006 and reached number nine on the UK Singles Chart, marking their second UK top-ten single. In the band's native Scotland, the song reached number two, becoming their second song to reach that position after "Chelsea Dagger".
The song was originally titled "Knickers in a Handbag" but was changed due to pressure from the label.[citation needed] The artwork points toward the old name by showing a girl on the cover handling a pair of knickers above a handbag.
Music video
The video features the band singing on darkened streets. It was filmed in Glasgow city centre, including Buchanan and Sauchiehall Streets.
