Don't do it! Only the Andy Griffith theme song got away with that shit!!...
 
Beg to differ:

Focus, Scorpions, Otis Redding, The Bangles, Billy Joel, Lovin Spoonful. Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Are you gonna tell Otis he can't whistle while sitting on the Dock of the Bay? Sacrilege! ?
 
Microphones are for the purpose of recording sounds. In the world of music recording they’re used to record musical instruments. A talented whistler is a musical instrument just as is as a talented singer.
So…….. record it! :D
 
If I could whistle worth a shit, I would record the hell out of it. But, it does sound like shit, so I don't. :)
 
I lost the ability to whistle when I got full dentures. ?

The Seven Dwarfs
Bridge Over The River Kwai
 
I've whistled on a few of my songs. They came out really well. My mouth got a bit dry on occasion, though.
 
Patience was a well-known whistle track that went well. I can whistle but suck enough to make a track of it.
 
I used to sing that live with a pal of mine from time to time.
Civil War was another one we did with a bit of whistling in it.
 
Whistling is an odd thing. For most if not all people(i would think), it is instinctual. No learning, no practice required. Somehow we can just whistle a (or any) particular tune. Even if it becomes too high we can automatically switch to a lower pitch, and back again once low enough! How we do that? How we know how to shape our lips?

Did "cavemen" whistle? Was it the first form of musical expression?

Hm, can tone deaf people whistle in tune?

One of the most annoying things ever? A random whistler. No particular tune, just random wanderings. Just stop, stop it.

I do that, I call it Jazz whistling. Yea, man.
 
Best whistling in a song ever? Marc Almond, at the end of Mr Sad. For such a theatrical, over the top song, the whistling is (deliberately) the worst you've ever heard, and I love it!
