This came up in another thread for Peter, Bjorn and John...

http://www.nwoutpost.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20140

Besides Panarama citing Peter Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers;" what other songs had whistling in it, either as the lead melody, or in the background? Wall of Voodoo have one or more? I'm totally drawing a blank, and folks here will have at least half-a-dozen songs to list... man, Alzheimer's really sucks!

Was just listening to the (English) beat in the car, and their cover of Andy Williams' 1963 hit: [i]Can't Get Used to Losing You[/i]. Lots of whistling in that tune! [8D]

The end of Visage's "Visa-Age" has a nice little whistle solo...Midge? Steve?

Not new wave but I can't believe noone's mentioned it...

DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY!

Now you're all stuck on it, right?

Also not in a New Wave vein, but the remake of Al Green's "Rhymes" that Donald Fagen and Todd Rundgren did last year opens with some half-hearted whistling.
