A few minutes ago, walking down the hall: that oldies song about "Ride the painted pony, let the spinning wheel turn," whistled under my breath.
Just now: A brief snippet of "You Get What You Deserve" by Big Star, whistled until I realized I probably shouldn't whistle really loud at my desk.

"The Glamorous Life" -- because someone at work saw Prince the other week and said Sheila E. was there and sang it. Then 15 minutes later someone said, "Now I've got that song in my head," and everyone else said, "Me too."

six months pass...

Whistlers at work, URRRRGH. We have a habitual one here whose office is right near mine -- a bigwig, of course. And it's always just the CHORUS -- repeatedly. In December, it was the Waitresses' "Christmas Wrapping," today his year-round fave "If I Only Had a Brain."

"16 Horses" by Soul Coughing, now and forever, extra funny when you start doing the M Doughty hand thing in public and you don't realize it

the chorus of "new generation" by Suede; completely random

I've had the tune to that Cream/Eric Clapton song "White Room" stuck in my head all day, except I didn't have any idea what it was called or who did it until this thread made me to look it up. I thought it would be someone cooler than Clapton.

It doesn't matter, but I was whistling it.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Friday, 11 February 2005 04:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I have had "Fake Plastic Trees" in my head all day, but this is not so much a "whistling" song.

― Allyzay Dallas Multi-Pass (allyzay), Friday, 11 February 2005 04:44 (twenty-one years ago)

The theme from Tales from the Crypt. The baby seems to like it.

Bloke in the next room yesterday kept whistling All is Full of Love for about 2 hours. Man alive, I like Björk as much as the next girl, but I could have killed him by lunchtime.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Friday, 11 February 2005 11:01 (twenty-one years ago)

ha, a colleague kept whistling Bernard Herrmann's 'Twisted Nerve' after he heard me playing the Kill Bill soundtrack one time

not so much whistling/humming but can't get 'Moskow Dyskow' or 'Cherry Coloured Funk' out of my head this morning

You can borrow mine if you like. I have all 4 series, woot. Although Barry and SGS have the first two at the moment.

Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own by U2 is swimming around my head right now.

Bizarrely, Bjork's "Oceania."

Oh God, the theme tune to the Raggy Dolls. It won't leave me. I've put the radio on to try and pick up a new one, but Colin and Edith just keep talking...

hey, that's a LOT of humming! :)

me, i gotta this forever einstein's merry 'strumental stuck inside me head, called "it's almost impossible to concentrate in this café with all these leggy belgian girls walking around in miniskirts".

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Friday, 11 February 2005 16:11 (twenty-one years ago)

that IS a lot. I guess it's more like two or three elo songs. But for the past few days they are all I've listened to so that could explain it.

I keep finding myself singing "Baby, love really hurts without you and it's breaking my heart but what can I dooo-ooo-ooo, baby..." on a loop. I am slowly slipping into insanity.

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 11 February 2005 18:01 (twenty-one years ago)

various Flying Saucer Attack tunes and Autechre's 'Chicli'. neither of which is particularly whistlable and i'm rub at whistling. but it sounds ok in my head.
