Whittaker Cunliffe (15 December 1875 – 1 May 1966) was an English comic singer.
He was described as being "a bit of a dandy",[1] strolling around the stage dressed in a frock coat, top hat and spats,[2][3] and was referred to as the last surviving Lion comique.
[2][5][6] He recorded other topical songs; his 1914 song "Tow the Row Row" laughs at the forced feeding in prison of suffragettes a couple of years earlier, and denounced the Social Insurance laws put in place by Lloyd George's government.
He recorded many of his songs between 1910 and 1915, including "There Are Nice Girls Everywhere", "There's Something in the Seaside Air", and "Who Were You With Last Night?
[7] A selection of his songs was released on CD in 2003, as Tight Skirts Have Got To Go.
