Whistle for the Choir is a song by the Fratellis, and their third single. It was released on 27 November 2006 and reached number 9 in the UK Singles Chart, 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.
