Blue and humpback whales have pleated, elastic throats and gulp food consisting of large krill or fish in the manner of enormous underwater pelicans, their throats expanding enormously as they lunge through a school of fish or krill.
Right whales resemble bowhead whales, so much so that whalers, and even scientists, prior to the late 19th century thought they were were the same species.

 NINO TEMPO AND APRIL STEVENS
By 1966, Nino and April had left the Atlantic umbrella and signed with White Whale Records, a small, adventurous L. A.-based label--a move which eliminated the difficulty of dealing with an East Coast company while recording in California.

The silliness of, say, 'Baby Weemus' or their monotoning in their version of 'Begin The Beguine' (Buh-begin the beguine...) is very likely calculated expressly to vary the mood of the album set.
