So, I was with a group of young people today and they started whistling the Peter Bjorn and John song ‘Young Folks’. To which I said to them, that I am rather partial to a good song with whistling in it. However, the only song that came to mind was Captain Beefheart’s, ‘Harry Irene’.

What have I forgotten?

But if you want to go hardcore forget the whistling, yodelling is where it’s at!

Is a synthesiser, not actual whistling. Great song though.

Not as much as the reason for it – there were supposed to be more vocals but a plane crash prevented their recording..

See, I really like it – I don’t know how it didn’t come immediately to mind. I even like Magic Moments.

Which version of Mr Bojangles? – I really like Dylan’s version, but cannot recollect any whistling.
I think I might make a playlist of the above suggestions and spend a couple of days listening only to songs with whistling 🙂

When I was at university (early 80’s) I got a Christmas job at the post office. I spent one of the shifts cancelling stamps with a hand stamp, it was hellish. They make it sound fun 🙂
