songs with whistling in them.

And also with the whistling-in-songs: Cee-Lo's "Gettin Grown"!

brother bones - sweet georgia brown (harlem globetrotters theme)
also
whistle stop from the disney version robin hood

i think all the other ones have already been said. incidentally, i wouldn't count beatles - blackbird...that doesn't really sound like whistling to me

Two whistlers! Harmonized!!

Does the "sound effect" whistling in Billy Ocean's "Caribbean Queen" count?

"Ya know how to whistle, just put your lips together and blow"

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?

(x-post: also contains banjo)

The Cure - "Harold and Joe"

**ctrl+f "andrew bird"**

I am disappoint.

thurston moore - cherry's blues

But seriously, there's two sides to Andrew Bird's whistling stuffs. The pop stuff (of which 'Fitz and Dizzyspells' is absolute tops) and the more doodly, loop station-y instrumental stuff (of which 'Nyatiti' would be my pick).

Obviously, duh...

Julia Holter - Sea calls me home (she whistles herself)

X Files Theme

Andy Griffith theme.

Can we please put a moratorium on this?

Ok, just after you listen to this

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.

Nigerian whistling:

Dabenja • Take Away https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5xSof_vDhY

Belle and Sebastian - The Loneliness of the Middle-Distance Runner

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:

Korean whistling:

(G)I-DLE • HANN (Alone): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKNXn2qCEws

"World, Hold On" by Bob Sinclar somehow absent:

Probably 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)

Scott Walker - Face On Breast

Colbie Caillat - Goldmine

All these years and never a mention of "A Song For Europe?" Jamais???

Golden Years

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”:

Simply a beautiful little song, fantastically performed.
