Jesus Christ, easy as hell

“Jealous Guy” John Lennon

Terrence Trent D’Arby-”Wishing Well”

Jay Z feat. Beanie Sigel & Scarface-”Some How,Some Way”

“Reba” – Phish

“Don’t Worry Be Happy” – Bobby Mc Ferrin

I agree, “Jealous Guy” by Lennon is a fantastic choice. But you’re all missing, “Spoon Full of Sugar” from Mary Poppins! Remember the robin outside whistling up that tune? Fuckin’ classic haha.

Me and Julio Down by The Schoolyard – Paul Simon

Whistle When You’re Low – Cancer Boy

“Mockingbird” by Tom Waits

Patience – Guns ‘N’ Roses
Elenaor – JET
Helpless – Faith No More

does ‘highway 61 revisited’ count? (i think it’s an actual cop whistle, not a hand-whistle).

Guns N’ Roses – “Civil War”

‘wind of change’ by the Scorps? maybe? Not sure but they played the shit out of that song on the radio in the early 90’s and it rocked.

Daydream…Lovin’ Spoonful

Another vote for “Civil War” just because I’m tired of people calling the Use Your Illusions a bad/sub-par album.

I noticed no one is naming “One In A Million” though…

Reba

“Sissyneck” by Beck.

wet sand…red hot chili peppers

seriously! jealous guy. come on…

Pretty much every Steve Miller Band song..

One in a Million – Guns n Roses

goodness… Guns-N-Roses… the only reason that Axl was able to whistle so cleanly was because his mouth is permanantly moistened by alcohol. I have no idea how Jealous Guy is not on this list. Oh and if you want world class whistling, go listen to an Andrew Bird album, he practicly uses it as his second voice.

Jealous Guy- John Lennon

nervous tic motion of the head to the
left-andrew bird
whiskey clone hotel-beck
whistle in-beach boys

guns n roses is the greatest band ever and to finally see them starting to get some praise in this era its a breathe of fresh air

ANOTHER VOTE FOR USE YOUR ILLUSION AS AN AWESOME DOUBLE ALBUM

Jungle Love–Steve Miller

FYI I just heard some rough demos of Chinese Deomcracy songs
Better is awesome
Madagascar is awesome
IRS awesome

What about the whistle solo in “Walk Like An Egyptian”? Everybody has to join in. Even people who are whistling-impaired.

“guns n roses is the greatest band ever”…?????

I literally could not believe my eyes when I read that.

Anyway, good songs to feature whitstling:

“The Stranger” – Billy Joel
“God Damn” – Chucklehead
“Lay down the Law” – G. Love
“Reba” – Phish

East, Jealous Guy

Here’s another vote for One in a Million.

“Joyride” Roxette hahaha

NIGHTRAIN-GUNS & ROSES

guns n roses civil war
guns n roses breakdown

“Singing the Blues” Guy Mitchell

wind of change – the scorpions

Golden years by Bowie is the best!

Has anybody heard of Pink Floyd? I think they had some good whistling songs…

“How Soon Is Now?” by The Smiths

It’s hard to make out, but it’s there.

and

“Alpha Beta Gaga” by Air.

My Morning Jacket – It Beats 4 U. A kick ass song featuring kick ass whistling in the end.

Jealous Guy – John Lennon

“Hocus Pocus” – Focus

“Games Without Frontiers”

Peter Gabriel

Almost every song Andrew Bird has ever done

The Whistling Song – Meat Puppets

civil war and one in a million – Guns N’ Roses

Bobby McFerrin ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy’

No Complaints, by: Beck

A Method, by: TV on the Radio

Does “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly,” have whistling in it? I can’t remember if it’s that one or some other Ennio Morricone score. I know the Cheyenne theme from Once Upon a Time in the West has whistling.

motorcycle, iggy, out of the very underated “avenue b”.

Daydrem – Lovin’ Spoonful
White Christmas – Bing Crosby

“Two of us” The Beatles

“If I could Talk I’d Tell You” by The Lemonheads

“Maiden’s Milk” by The Meat Puppets

One In a Million- Guns N Roses
Civil War- Guns N Roses
Patience- Guns N Roses

“Jealous Guy” John Lennon

How is is that more people aren’t saying “Me & Julio Down By the Schoolyard”? Come on peoples!

The andy griffith theme.

GNR sucks and always has.

Patience-Guns N’ Roses
Breakdown-Guns N’ Roses
Civil War-Guns N’ Roses
One in a Million-Guns N’ Roses

tyra b- “country boy”

Easy… “Jealous Guy” by Lennon. Yet the robin’s whistling solo in “Just a Spoon Full of Sugar” from Mary Poppins is definitly the bomdiggidy

most def
sissyneck by beck
patience by gnr
ya that otis redding song is pretty good
i dont know about gnr as one of the best bands ever maybe one of the best whistling bands ever

engel- Rammstein

It’s been said but I’ll reiterate: Meat Puppets – Whistling Song

“Intruder” — Peter Gabriel

Love walk in — VAN HALEN

Goodbye Stranger by Supertramp

Bob Sinclair – Love generation

Of course, Rolling Stone would ignore anything slightly outre: what about Captain Beefheart in “Harry Irene” – one of the best whistling solos I’ve ever heard, and a great song in its own right. The only good song they picked was Otis Redding.

Patience

“Atlanta” – Stone Temple Pilots

One in a Million and Breakdown, both by Guns N’ Roses.

Phish – Reba

Ruling Class- Loose Fur

“Maiden’s Milk” – Meat Puppets

Dom Andra-Kent

“Masterfade” or almost any song off of Andrew Bird’s The Mysterious Production of Eggs. He’s the best whistler ever. A more recent entry would be “Whistle for the Choir” by the Fratellis.

yes, AJ… i can’t BELIEVE “jealous guy” is not on this list!!!! Greatest whistling in a song… ever…

“Reba” – Phish

I agree…”Jealous Guy” is the greatest of all time. Your editing staff should take a good look in the mirror and think about what kind of publication you’re TRYING to run there. Also, stop putting horrible, unproven rappers on the front cover of your once great magazine.

i don’t really care for the song but what about Winds of Change by the Scorpions. Another whistle song is Bony Maroni by Larry Williams. Also Only Love Can Break a Heart by Gene Pitney.

You picked the wrong GNR song: Civil War is much better than Patience.

You geniuses have all forgotten about Peter Gabriel’s greatest song, GAMES WITHOUT FRONTIERS!

Like several other readers, I think that Jealous Guy by John Lennon should be top o’ the list. Surprised Rolling Stone didn’t think of it first. Seemed obvious to me.

“Nervous Tic Motion Of The Head To The Left” – Andrew Bird

guns n roses civil war

guns n roses patience

both are great songs

apptarheal got Peter Gabriel yesterday…

Patience is a far better tune than Civil War.

The Twilight Singers ‘Bonnie Brea’

um…..am i the only one who thinks that whistling in songs kind of sucks?

“Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head”

-Burt Bacharach

Good call on “Dock of the Bay,” pretty much my favorite song ever.

A couple of Taj Mahal songs that I can’t look up right now have good whistling.

“Always Look On the Bright Side of Life”, from Monty Python’s Life of Brian

No contest. hehehe.

jealous guy-john lennon
you’ve made a collective fool of yourselves here

I prefer the Jealous Guy version by Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music. Much better whistling solo.

I think Breakdown is the best of them all, but I wouldn’t mind any other GN’R song to win…

Guns N’ Roses has always been my favorite band. I was disappointed when this song came out because it does not have the sound of Guns N’ Roses. It is terrible that Axl Rose makes a new band but keeps the same name. Thats fine Axl can keep his name but the band is terrible now. Velvet Revolver is the band that took the other members of Guns N’ Roses always had Duff McKagan, Slash, Axl Rose, Steven Adler, Izzy Stradlin but now they are terrible since they are missing most of that.

Dogs – Pink Floyd

It has to be Whislte for the Choir by Scottish band The Fratellis.

not even that into Phish, but “Reba” has some sensational whistle-action.

“It Beats 4 U” – MMJ

“Let You Down” – DMB

You can’t have this conversation without ANDREW BIRD

Dave Mathews is a fucking pussy.

Any song of Guns n Roses

“I Was Kaiser Bill’s Batman” by “Whistling” Jack Smith – a minor hit for about fifteen minutes back in 1967.

“The Ruling Class” by Loose Fur.

Glad to see Harry Irene by Captain Beefheart make it……How about Big Chief by Professor Longhair….me got fire me can’t put out…….

“The Fishing Hole” the theme song for the Andy Griffith Show. It’s not a rock song but it’s all whistling, no singing, it’s catchy, and I think almost everybody can whistle that song. The whistling carries the whole song. How many songs can boast that.

Wow, One in a million is really a crappy song. Please guys stop acting like G & R is still a cool band.

GAMES WITHOUT FRONTIERS
JOYRIDE
WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN

Patience-Guns and Roses

Dock of the Bay is easily the best song -though ruined by overplay on classic rock/oldie radio. I’d have to go with Two of Us, The Beatles, as #2 – I like Jealous Guy, but not nearly as much.

Live- Waitress

I agree with ’sureenough’
Dock of the bay
Two of Us

Georgy Girl – The Seekers

The Mexican Whistler – Roger Whittaker (which is ALL whistling!)

Whistle Bump – Joao Donato

Over My Shoulder – Mike and the Mechanics

I forgot this one:

The theme tune to the mid-90s BBC TV comedy series starring Rowan Atkinson, The Thin Blue Line, was also a daft whistled tune!

“Ram On”, “Uncle Albert”/”Admiral Halsey”, “You Gave Me the Answer”, “Singing the Blues”, “C’mon People”, “Vanilla Sky”, “English Tea”, “Dance Tonight”, and “The End of the End” by Paul McCartney.
