darling67 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I just heard a favorite song coming from someone's office. It causes an instant reaction of me whistling along to it. Got me to thinking of another crazy thread idea... List your favorite songs where whistling is a predominant "instrument". I'll start with the afore-mentioned song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIRE6iw-ws4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Here's probably the most famous, and popular, jazz song featuring whistling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I don't know why I always thought Toots was a harmonica player, only. I've only heard Bluesette on harmonica and on my guitar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wZbNXAaL2s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I guess everything's been done! Some great whistling here… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnlvPoDU5LY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5Larry Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Dock of the Bay. I used to have an eight-piece R&B/Motown show band, and of course, this song was on our "play list". Our singer always had a little trouble with the whistling part and the "problem" became part of the act. One day I went out and bought a bunch of Kazoos and secretly passed them out to all the "musicians". When the whistling part came along we all started humming along on the Kazoos. The singer jerked around and the look on face was priceless, although I don't think he thought it was as funny as I did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
