The first song of this weeks edition is a cover version of a song by John Lennon. I thought about presenting the original but for me the best version is by RoxyMusic. Recorded during their Avalon tour in 1982 in Glasgow it shows how good they were at these days. It was shown also when they covered Neil Young's Like A Hurricane.
This song was very high in the charts back in 2006. It's from Peter, Björn and John an indie-pop band from Stockholm, Sweden. A classic trio with a short-term talent to deliver concise hooks.
At last a classic from The Clash's London Calling album, where you have to listen carefully at the end of the song to hear the whistling.

This is all very nice but when are we getting Roger Whittaker? Do I need to "do a George" and send you a guest post?
Don't worry Ernie. He's on the list for next Thursday
This is indeed, very nice. The whistler from the Swedish trio was part of Robert Forster's touring band last year, and he's a fabulous guitar player too!
Excellent news! Thank you for your public service!
I’ve always had a soft spot for Patience by GnR. Whistling live is v hard to do. When I play I Won’t Let it Happen I whistle where the violin solo goes. Tricky.
