Whistle for the Choir is a song by The Fratellis, and their third single. It was released on 27 November 2006 and reached #9 in the UK Singles Chart hence marking their second UK Top 10 single. The song was originally titled 'Knickers In A Handbag' but was changed due to pressure from the label. The artwork points toward the old name by showing a girl on the cover handling a pair of knickers above a handbag.
