"Everybody whistle!"

Cat Stevens wrote it and on his debut LP, Matthew and Son, gives it a treatment that is far too fine china tea set precious compared to the raucous, instant party energy The Tremeloes invest in this song that, for my money, they have not covered so much as usurped and made all their own. Few songs can truly put me in a good mood the instant I hear them (or a better one if I'm already feeling up), but this is one that has never failed to do so. Founding Tremeloes member Brian Poole turns 68 today. Happy Birthday to him.
