Or whistling on records S & D/C or D.

I'll kick off with Otis - Dock of the bay and XTC - Generals and Majors both classic.

I'm gonna hafta derail the whole thread by mentioning Scorpions "Winds of Change", sorry

Tho I did like P Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers", more for the misheard lyrics than the whistling. "She's so functional?"

Funnily enough seeing the Scorpions on TOTP2 last night made me think of this thread.

Cancer boy "whistle when your low" from Kids in the Hall Brain Candy.

I don't know if they have a soundtrack album, but their is some really great stuff in that movie.

All-time #1 is probably Kleenex-"Die Matrosen." Notable: Lennon-"Jealous Guy"; G 'n R-"Patience"...

Beck's whistling intro to, damm i dont even remeber the song but I like the whistling, I think its Sissyneck. Cancer Boy's whistling is an execellent example of the Canadiana revival that Im sure influencd Mercury Rev to use the bowed saw.

There is a soundtrack to Brian Candy. Dont remeber Cancer Boy, the I'm Gay song or even the depressed Meatloaf singer on it. Bruce did a couple of solo albums with such wonderful tunes as "These Are The Daves I Know" and "The Terrier Song" if your interested.

zig: tin-whistling on records, all-time best is "Watch Out Now" by the Beatnuts

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 16 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

More whistling! Belle & Sebastian whistle quite a lot, as I'm sure their many detractors know. I hate that whistling on Dock of the Bay, by the way.

Search: Komeda, "Happiment"

― Curt, Thursday, 16 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Die Matrosen" is my #1 too, Scott! But let's see, I guess Bowie's whistling on "Golden Years" is rather pleasant, I wish there was more of it.

And I thought it was "she's un-POP-u-lar" in "Games Without Frontiers", Dave Q.

Terror Sqaud. "Ryde Or Die Bitch".

I'd argue the best tin whistling is in the theme to The Friendly Giant. An Early Sunday Morn.

Look up, look WAAAAAAAAAY up,

Now call Rusty!

He'd kick Mr Rodgers ass all over the neighbourhoodany given day.

― zacko, Thursday, 16 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That is, either/or.

"Whistle While You Twerk" - Ying Yang Twins

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 16 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

GNR patience - classic lol

― scott, Thursday, 16 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Woman of the World" by Divine Comedy, and there's whistling at the end of one of those godawful Live songs that was popular about six years ago I always used to get stuck in my head. AAARRRGGHH!! Just reading this question has got it going round and round again. Damn you! Damn you all to hell!!!!!!!

Not really apuckerliptic, but I dig the whistling missile sounds on Flipper's "Sex Bomb" and the Gap Band's "You Dropped the Bomb on Me"

― Arthur, Friday, 17 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

next to the Friendly Giant (who, of course, means nothing to the non- Canadians out there), I'd rate the Meat Puppets for whatever that tune was on Meat Puppets II.

I love canadian refrences !

― anthony, Friday, 17 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Liliput's "Hitch Hike" is definitely a classic, as is De La Soul's "Eye Know," which hooks partly around sampled Otis from "Dock of the Bay."

'Cancer Boy' = redemption for Canada, making up for that stupid school-bell thing on April Wine's "Oowatanite" (Dig that title)

― dave q, Friday, 17 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'the whistling song' by moose is lovely.

― keith, Saturday, 18 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"I Just Got Back From Another World" on Parliament's Up for the Down Stroke (title = longer but I cannot find LP in my chaotic tip of a "work" room). Clinton is a strange strange man: whistler not actually Roger Whittaker, but could, and song cd nearly be on an R.Whittaker LP (not that I've ever heard one: I remember him off TV).
