Give A Little Whistle - Whistling Songs

My third blog in a series featuring instruments in rock and pop music intrinsic to our bodies, following hand clapping and finger snapping, highlights my playlist of whistling prominent in rock and pop songs, along with some instrumental TV and movie themes.

Some fantastic songs prominently featuring whistling include Billy Joel’s “The Stranger,” Guns N’ Roses “Patience,” Peter Gabriel’s “Games Without Frontiers,” John Lennon’s “Jealous Guy” and “Beautiful Boy,” Otis Redding’s “Dock Of The Bay,” Paul Simon’s “Me & Julio Down By The Schoolyard,” The J. Geils Band “Centerfold, And there are some songs with short but important whistle use, such as in Steve Miller Band’s “Jungle Love” or The Commodores “Brick House.”

And more recent whistlers include Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger,” OneRepublic’s “I Ain’t Worried” and “Good Life,” Foster The People’s “Pumpled Up Kicks,” and Flo Rida’s “Whistle.” And a little country whistling with Beyonce’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” and Zac Brown Band’s “Knee Deep.”

And Disney gave us plenty of whistling with Snow White’s “Whistle While You Work,” Pinocchio’s “Give A Little Whistle,” Song Of The South’s “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah,” Robin Hood’s “Whistle Stop,” and good old Steamboat Willie’s “Turkey In The Straw”.

So when listening to this playlist, I challenge you to wet your whistle and follow along 😙🎶
