There's some millennial anthem with whistling in it that I keep hearing in places that just needs to be nuked

I like Julia Holter tho so maybe I should hear that track. Gauzy heavy noisepop shoegaze minor key whistling might be OK

I suspect that Steve Lillywhite is the culprit on early '80s whistling--he produced Peter Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers" and "The Intruder" plus XTC's "Generals and Majors" and "Take This Town" in 1980. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting another big one.

Maybe it's been done in one of the many songs mentioned here but is there a song with autotuned whistling ?

Similar track to Belle + Sebastian:

"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)

an old chestnut that’s never been posted (unless it was in one of the unspecified broken YouTube links):Kyu Sakamoto’s “Ue o Muite Arukō” a/k/a “Sukiyaki”:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C35DrtPlUbcSimply a beautiful little song, fantastically performed.
