@SupernalOne When bands got the first pressings of their new albums they'd play them to the security men on the studio doors (who tended to wear grey coats). Any songs the doormen could then whistle back after hearing the album were said to have passed "the old grey whistle test".
where'd anybody get the name Old Grey Whistle Test, anyway? Old grey mare is a song, a whistle stop is a small town on a railroad line, but WTF is an OGWT?
