"Pennywhistle" is a song by Australian band Augie March. It was released in September 2008 as the lead single from the band's fourth studio album, Watch Me Disappear.
It peaked at No. 37 on the ARIA Top 100 Physical Singles Chart.
Scott Podmore of The Herald Sun reviewed Watch Me Disappear and found that "Pennywhistle" was an "escape into the musical gaiety."
Kathy McCabe of The Daily Telegraph felt that "the band are determined to make a star out of the instrument", the pennywhistle. She reported that Richards was inspired to write the song by a Celtic whistle sample, while Edmondo Ammendola added "God forbid we change the pennywhistle for a recorder or a bassoon; there will be outrage."
