"Whistle for the Choir" is a song by Scottish rock band the Fratellis. It was released on 27 November 2006 as the band's third single and reached number nine on the UK Singles Chart, marking their second UK top-10 single. In the band's native Scotland, the song reached number two, becoming their second song to reach that position after "Chelsea Dagger".
The working title for the song was "Knickers in a Handbag", named after a line from Scottish comedian Billy Connolly.[2] The artwork points toward the old name by showing a girl on the cover handling a pair of knickers above a handbag. The "wistful" song is the most light-hearted and sentimental of the entire album and has drawn comparison to "What Katie Did" by the Libertines[3]
