New wave songs with whistling

New Wave/Punk music, culture, genres, memories. '80s revivalism and other relevant topics.

I can think of two that don't have a tuneful whistle but instead have the kind of whistle you'd do to get someone's attention (like when you use the two fingers in your mouth):

1. David Bowie & Mick Jagger, "Dancing In The Streets"
2. Nik Kershaw, "Bogart"

<br>Well, shit. There's a Billy Joel song from [i]The Stranger[/i] that has some whistling in it[:D]

That would be "The Stranger". Has a kind of Bogart, rainy alley at night sound.

Oh sweet! It should be joined with You Were Right/I Was Wrong. You've motivated me to re-rip that as one song. Thanks!
