Hoi hoi hoi hoi...Now cows have hooves and dogs have pawsand snooker tables have snooker ballsand fish have fins that how they swimAnd if you didn't know...
The Living World of Sea Creatures (makes me want to whistle)
Hoi hoi hoi hoi... Now cows have hooves and dogs have paws and snooker tables 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 Now 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!

A triumphant foot stompin' whistling song first recorded by legendary aquatic psychedelic rock pranksters FRANK FISH AND THE FINS in 1985. NIGE and TREV (aka Frank Fish & Mick 'Stickle' Clack) stray away from their usual unnerving soup obsessed, 'naked-dalek-nightmare' style to tackle this toe-tappin' FF and the Fs classic.

A newly remastered version of this song is featured on the new 16 track Rooftop Studio compilation album "A few loose Tiles" available to download from itunes, Amazon.com, Rhapsody etc.
Here is a live version performed by Nige, Trev and pals (aka 'Frank Fish and the Snins' at the jericho Street Fair in Oxford in June 2008:

OK was anyone watching the other review of these nutters? No? OK so here is a sort of Cotswold Yokel shanty from the wayward mind of Mick Clack - trade mark Perry laugh - ludicrously sweet chorus - more ideas than you can shake a spoon at (puts me a bit in mind of the recent Bustard collab). Years of Morland best bitter abuse can only end at this transcendent nadir. Enjoy, see a doctor and lie down for quite a while. ftlpope
