    Default Whistlin' Eyeson

    Can you whistle? I can't whistle for crap. It took me until I was 17 years old to be able to make any kind of noise similar to a whistle come out of me voluntarily. Before that, the closest I got to whistling was a nose whistle. You ever had your nose whistle? It's pretty weird.

    In high school I knew this kid called Aaron Rich who could whistle like some kind of whistling fool. I swear, any song, any piece of music, give it to him and he could whistle it. It was kind of hypnotizing.

    Can you whistle well? Can you whistle complex tunes? What is your preferred method of whistling: fingers in mouth, or mouth only. Do you whistle often? Will you record yourself whistling and post it?

    I tried, but I don't have a very good mic, so you can't even hear it. I have a wussy whistle.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I can do the whistle with fingers in my mouth, and I do so to get the attention of someone. I'm also often requested to whistle tunes and if I've heard the song there's a good chance I can produce something that sounds relatively similar.

    Yup, I can whistle without the help of other appendages besides my lips. Though, I can't whistle things too complex. I'm not that good. I usually stick with simple things like that whistling song from Kill Bill.

    Yes. I can both suck in and produce air in order to create a tune up to five minutes at a time without breathing.

    i can whistle inhaling and exhaling...i can mimic a lot of local bird calls. and i like whistling certain songs...i like whistling harmonica solos...cause i can't play harmonica...

    i tried to teach my older sister to whistle, she'll never get it. but then i can't burp on command....so y'know...we're all different or something.

    I can whistle quite well, I'd like to believe.

    I can whistle without my fingers, though not with them. I do not whistle anything complex, just like the Legend of Zelda theme or something like that , but I tend to frig it up.

    I can whistle by pursing my lips, or by putting the tip of my tongue to the roof of my mouth.

    http://www.snowy-day.net/stuff/rubah...anctocatta.ogg is a amalgation of Bizet's Farandole and Bach's Tocatta and Fugue that we played for our field show a couple of years ago. I skipped some parts but didn't feel like rerecording xD

    it's in ogg vorbis format because apparently mp3 doesn't like high pitches and actually expanded the file .1mb from the original wave file. OGG won't hurt you anyways.
