"Ten Dollar Bill" by Cop Shoot Cop features the zealous blowing of pennywhistles (does that count?)

And, lest we forget, "Mellow Doubt" (god they have cool titles - remember the mighty "Neil Jung"?) has some ace/useless whistling near the end.

And the "Colonel Bogey March" from "Bridge Over the River Kwai" hasn't been mentioned -- that should begin and end any whistling tape.

Plus, just about any double live LP from the 70s will feature some punter's long, loud, piercing whistle over a quiet passage during the big power ballad (e.g., "Turn the Page" off "Live Bullet"). What are the best/worst examples of this?

"World, Hold On" by Bob Sinclar somehow absent:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyYMSa7_sWUProbably the most whistling-dependent hit record of the decade to not actually be called "Whistle".

Good pick! (different decades though: “World, Hold On” is a 2006 hit, “Whistle” is from 2012)

Echobelly's "I Can't Imagine The World Without Me" has a "beckoning" whistle at the start (ie nothing to do with the melody)
