BackgroundThe album's title pokes fun at a common misspelling of Entwistle's surname. Several of the tracks give a humorous look on domestic life, following the birth of Entwistle's son, Christopher. "Ten Little Friends" was written on piano at John Entwistle's Ealing home studio and sprang from a bout of writer's block. The title comes from a set of troll figures given to him by the Who's Keith Moon. The track features a guitar solo from Peter Frampton. As well as his usual bass guitar, Entwistle also plays bass synthesizer. Whistle Rymes is described by Allmusic as having a catchy, straightforward, pop-tinged rock with dark, often bitingly sarcastic lyrics.[1]ReleaseThe original 1972 UK release of this album was on Track Records and distributed by Polydor Records. The first US issue of this album was on the silver Track/Decca label. A year later it was reissued in the US on MCA Records. ReceptionAllMusic critics said, ""Thinkin' It Over" is a witty, waltz-styled tune about a potential suicide having second thoughts while preparing to jump off a building, and "Who Cares?" a punchy, piano-driven rocker about a man who deals with the problems of life by refusing to take it seriously. However, Entwistle's finest achievement in this respect is "I Feel Better", a devastatingly sarcastic tune that features the singer putting down an ex-lover by listing all the things he does to get back at her. Viciously witty yet full of emotion, this poison-pen gem ranks up there with Harry Nilsson's "You're Breaking My Heart"."[1]{{Album reviews|rev1 = Allmusic |rev1score = {{Rating|4|5}} [{{Allmusic|class=album|id=r36714|pure_url=yes}} link] |rev2 = Christgau's Record Guide |rev2Score = B[2] }} Track listingAll songs written and composed by John Entwistle. {{Track listing| title1 = Ten Little Friends | length1 = 4:03 | title2 = Apron Strings | length2 = 3:47 | title3 = I Feel Better | length3 = 4:46 | title4 = Thinkin' It Over | length4 = 3:12 | title5 = Who Cares? | length5 = 4:28 | title6 = I Wonder | length6 = 2:58 | title7 = I Was Just Being Friendly | length7 = 3:33 | title8 = The Window Shopper | length8 = 3:28 | title9 = I Found Out | length9 = 3:51 | title10 = Nightmare (Please Wake Me Up) | length10 = 6:16 }} Bonus tracks{{Track listing| title1 = I Wonder | note1=Demo | length1 = 2:52 | title2 = All Dressed Up | note2=Demo | length2 = 2:53 | title3 = Back on the Road | note3=Demo | length3 = 3:53 | title4 = Countryside Boogie | note4=Demo | length4 = 4:28 }} Personnel
