I was humming the tune to 'Sing Your Life' just now when I noticed a similarity with the theme tune for 1970's/80's sitcom featuring 'Freelance layabout' Hywel Bennett (he of 'The Family Way'). The show was simply called "Shelley". I think that the whistling in the theme tune is kind of like the strings in 'Sing Your Life'.
I loved that show even when I was 12. It set me up for The Smiths coming along in 1983. It also set me on the wrong career path I'm afraid. I'm glad that Morrissey stuck at the song writing and singing otherwise he'd have ended up like 'Shelley'.
