Story behind the song
Frank kept remembering the story of Gautama and the mud pie. A little boy called 'Binky' was playing in the dirt with his friends when the Buddha passed by. The child was poor and had nothing to give to the Buddha so he offered him a mud pie. It was all he had and he gave everything. The heart gives. The fingers get dirty. Come on everybody - let's whistle! Lethbridge, gautama, isis, gog - magog...lethbridge, gautama,isis,gog-magig. This triumphant foot stomping, hip thrusting,whistling anthem was recorded by FRANK FISH and his underpaid stooges the FINS way back in 1986ad. This song has recently been covered by hopelessly untalented, teenage blindfold underwater trapeze duo NIGE & TREV whose version can be heard their own childish Soundclick site: www.soundclick.com/nigeandtrev
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...

Whistletastic, triumphant example of the sound of Oxford town in the 1980's. The dogs should record their own solo album. A big thumbs up from me lads!
