Backstory: Benson played some song on New Releases Thursday that had whistling on it. Some Foghead calls to say: "no song with whistling on it can be considered 'rock' "... and so began a discussion. I tuned out soon after (it was time for Ginger) so I've no idea what suggestions were made. But we're gonna hear 10 of 'em.
-
Obv "Dock of the Bay."
Prob: "Jeux Sans Frontieres"
Posb: "The Stranger"
I Wish: "Leave a Tender Moment Alone"
-

"Montego Bay" has whistling, no? Sadly, Dave sez he forgot to bring his copy of "I Was Kaiser Bill's Batman".
This could turn out as interesting as the "cowbell" set...
-
from the Animals "The Twain Shall Meet" Classic KSAN instrumental track
-
Cat Stevens' "Whistlestar" would be ideal, tho' I doubt it's on Dave's radar.
-
"La La Love You" the Pixies
"Hocus Pocus", Focus (if it had cowbell, it could be in EVERY set)
"Don't Worry, Be Happy", whoever
"King of the Road", Roger Miller
-
"King of the Road", Roger Miller
if Dave plays KOTR, I'll personally pay for a roomful of Latino rent boys to spend the weekend at Chez Morey. :wink:
-
From Jeff in the cube next to me:
Macca, "Uncle Albert"
XTC, "Generals and Majors"
Smiths, "I Keep Mine Hidden"
-
Ask Jeff why he didn't mention the Smith's best-known song.
How Soon Is Now?
Golden Years - Bowie
Me & Julio Down By The Schoolyard - Paul Simon

He's thinking... The Smiths are his favorite band.

that is amazing. there's NOTHING you cannot find on the internet.
-
Somewhere I composed a 10@10 for just this occasion, but can't find it right now. A couple more are...
Jeux Sans Frontieres - Gabriel oops, missed where Gaz already had this
Winds of Change - Scorpions
Walk Like An Egyptian - Bangles

Just talked to Dave myself, he says he also doesn't have the Scorpions tune at hand.
But...if we hear a snippet of Monty Python's "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life", y'all have me to thank.
-
Beatles (yay) "Two of Us".
-
Colonel Bogey? (Think Bridge on the River Kwai.)
Nah.
-
I'm blanking on the name of this one-hit-wonder, but it was played endlessly on KFOG (after Alice broke it several months before) when it was a hit. One of those records that has disappeared in recent years.
-
Colonel Bogey? (Think Bridge on the River Kwai.)
Nah.
Bet that shows up in between songs. The late great Elmer Bernstein wrote that & (from IMDb, not mshray's copious memory of Oscar trivia) it wasn't even among his 15 nominations spanning SIX decades.

Wes Cunningham, "And So It Goes".
ETA, a personal fave of our old friend Eujean, iirc.
-
wop-wop-wop. VHM Bowie. "Nights are warm and the gays are hung."
-
BOS #1, my favorite Bowie tune
in the back of a dream car 20-foot long....
-
Dave brings us a crate of papaya.

Dave brings us a crate of papaya.

Dave was up late last night looking for audio clips!
XTC, "Generals & Whistlers"

Actually, no. Per numerous online sourcs, it was written by one Lieutenant F.J. Alford, a bandmaster in the Royal Marines, and published under the pseudonym of Kenneth Alford.

maybe he was tired of being in the shade.
-
I knew exactly what was coming when I heard, "Ladies and gentlemen..."
-
Woo Hoo! Dave whips out the DP "...the loo-oong version" clip for "Hocus Pocus"
-
BOS Focus woo hoo!!!!!
-
Hocus Pocus Focus BOScus!

guess that's why the academy didn't nominate him, even though he was credited for it on the screen.
-
Did anybody mention "Love Is Like Oxygen"? It's got whistling, don't it?
-
Whistle Rock rocks!!
-
BOS for Focus, by virtue of it having in addition to whistling, yodeling, scatting (sort of), and accordion!
And laughing. Does anybody remember laughter?
Say, there's an idea for a set.
-

The quintessential "Super Hit 6."
-
Did he say, "1...2... 1.2.4"?
She's so funky. Yeah!
-
Jane plays with someone's willie -- that'd make me whistle.
-
Ah, should have remembered this one. A Dave-fave and my personal BOS, Split Enz, Six Months in a Leaky Boat.
-
6 whistles in a leaky boat!
Well, I gotta give Dave props (since I needle him so often): he's had a VERY good week. Aside from Tuesday's dull '84 set, we've had a *spectacular* '68, a superb '74, a much-better-than-expected '86, and now this. It'll be a pleasure to wake up to the marathon tomorrow.
-
Beatles (yay) "Two of Us".
Well bowled!!

Here's an annotation for you guys on GWF's 2nd verse:
Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai-yu
Andre is probably André Malraux, French author of Man's Fate a novel about a failed Communist uprising in Shanghai set in 1930 (and written before anyone heard of Mao Tse Tung)
Chiang Ching is probably a variation on Chiang Kai-shek, whose nationalists always use blue as their color
Lin Tai-yu is the name of one of the main characters in the ancient classic Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber.
