    Story Behind the Song
    Frank Fish and his pet polecat, Archie, spent
    many days and nights on Oxford's Port Meadow
    in the summer of '85 without food, drink or D.C. Bizarro comics. During this time, according to FF's frenzied, crayon-scribbled diary entries, the earth underwent
    violent changes. Great clouds of soup stretched against the sky over Wolvercote, imprisoned there by gravity. Apparently, as the soup vapour thickened, so did Frank's waistline despite the absence of food. Constant tuneless whistling was his only lifeline during this stressful time in FF's life. Fellow Fin, Mick Sticklecack wrote 'The Living World of Sea Creatures makes me want to Whistle' as a tribute to Frank, Archie, and whistlers everywhere.

    Lyrics
    Now cows have hooves and dogs have paws
    and snooker champions have snooker balls
    and fish have fins that how they swim
    and if you didn't know that you must be dim
    In a blue lagoon I see the water move
    Is it a paw could it be a hoof?
    No it's a fin zipping thru' the sea
    and it has a strange effect on me
    Oh! The Living World of Sea Creatures
    Makes Me want to whistle...
    Yes cows have calves and dogs have pups
    and snooker champions win snooker cups
    and fish lay eggs in the ocean
    and whistling is a lot of fun
    So whistle...
