Some Can Whistle is a 1989 American novel by Larry McMurtry. It is a sequel to All My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers. McMurtry admits there was some uncertainty from the earlier novel whether the lead character died but he "put to rest the vexed question of Danny Deck’s survival" by writing a sequel.
The New York Times wrote "Larry McMurtry's fiction sometimes leans toward what a friend of mine calls 'the dirty sock novel,' that alienated masculine genre where men are men and they don't do emotional responsibility or laundry. But it's redeemed by the author's extraordinary way with women. His heroines are the kind you want to love, listen to forever or at least have move in next door. "
