Fact #159880

Barry Mason (lyricist) : I was in the toilets one day and a chap was standing next to me whistling Delilah. I'd never heard anyone whistling any of my songs before. Out of sheer joy and excitement I turned to him and said, 'Excuse me, but that's my song you're whistling.' He replied, "I thought Les Reed wrote that one." I said, "Yes, but I wrote the words." And he said, "I'm not whistling the bloody words."
