Forrest Gump; Frank Ocean

I wanna see your pom poms from the stands
Come on, come on

My fingertips, and my lips, they burn
From the cigarettes
Forrest Gump you run my mind boy
Running on my mind boy
Forrest Gump

I know you Forrest
I know you wouldn't hurt a beetle
But you're so buff, and so strong
I'm nervous Forrest

Forrest Gump
Now my fingertips, and my lips, they burn
From the cigarettes
Forrest Gump you run my mind boy
Running on my mind boy
Forrest Gump

I saw ya game, Forrest
I was screamin' run 44
But you kept runnin' past the end zone
Oh where'd you go Forrest

Forrest Gump
And my fingertips, and my lips, they burn
From the cigarettes
Forrest Gump you run my mind boy (yea)
Running on my mind boy
Forrest Gump

Forrest green
Forrest blues
I re-mem-ber you
If this is love, I know it's true
I won't For-get you (you)
(oh you you) it's for you Forrest
(oh you you) it's for you Forrest

It Girl; Jason Derülo

I've been looking under rocks and breaking locks
Just tryna find ya
I've been like a manic insomniac
5 steps behind you
Tell them other girls, they can hit the exit
Check please...
Cause I finally found the girl of...my dreams
Much more than a Grammy award
That's how much you mean to me

You could be my it girl
Baby you're the shit girl
Lovin' you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit girl
This is it girl
Give me 25 to life
I just wanna rock all night long
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it girl
You're my biggest hit girl

Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like...oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like...oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud

You can't help but turn them heads
Knockin' them dead
Dropping like flies around you
If I get your body close not letting go
Hoping you're about to
Tell them other guys they can lose your number
You're done!
They don't get another shot cause you're...love drunk
Like a TV show playing reruns
Every chance I get
I'mma turn you on

You could be my it girl
Baby you're the shit girl

Lovin' you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit girl
This is it girl
Give me 25 to life
I just wanna rock all night long
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it girl
You're my biggest hit girl

Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like...oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like...oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud

Can't seem to stop you from...running, running
Through my, through my mind, mind
Just keep it coming, coming
Till I make you mine, mine
You've got that something, something
I wanna be with girl
You're my greatest hit girl
Just say this is it girl...
Hey baby...
Don't you know you're my it girl

You could be my it girl
Baby you're the shit girl
Lovin' you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit girl
This is it girl
Give me 25 to life
I just wanna rock all night long
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it girl
You're my biggest hit girl

Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like...oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like...oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud

Just Walking In The Rain; Johnnie Ray


Just walking in the rain
Getting soaking wet
Torturing my heart
By trying to forget

Just walking in the rain
So alone and blue
All because my heart
Still remembers you

People come to windows
They always stare at me
Shaking their heads in sorrow
Saying, who can that fool be

Just walking in the rain
Thinking how we met
Knowing things could change
Somehow I can't forget

(Just walking in the rain)
(Walking in the rain)
(Walking in the rain)
(Just walking in the rain)
(All day I ....)

People come to their windows
They always stare at me
Their shaking their heads in sorrow
Saying, who can that fool be
(Now who can he be)

Just walking in the rain
(Walking in the rain)
Thinking how we met
(Walking in the rain)
Knowing things could change
(Walking in the rain)
Somehow I can't forget
(Walking in the rain ....)

Free’s; Bill Callahan


I'm standing in a field
A field of questions
As far as the eye can see
Is this what it means to be free?
Or is this what it means to belong to the free?
To be free in bad times and good
To belong to being derided for things i don't believe
And lauded for things i did not do
If this is what it means to be free
Then i'm free and i belong to the free
And the free
They belong to me

Rental Sting; Archers of Loaf

Rental sting, the customer is king.
Waste your life, waste your life.
Little things can cost you everything.
Save your life, save your life.

Dead and white, our distance is disguised.
Mad and sad when it's my misunderstanding.
Rental sting, the customer is king.
Waste your life, waste your life.

Whistle; Brisa Roché

Brisa Roché, born La Brisa Day Roché, April 26, 1976 in Arcata, California, is a singer-songwriter who has released four albums in her musical career.¹

The song "Whistle" was recorded in the 2007 album "Takes"².


Eighteen coming like thunder
Platinum bangs and you under
Driving high on the Cliffside
Black rocks bared by the low-tide

Vapor-girl
The hissing car
Barely veils
Your fleet of stars

Palm on kerosene lantern
You, curled soft as a kitten
Hitch-hike over the passes
You, queen of cutting classes

Vapor-girl
The hissing car
Barely veils
Your fleet of stars

Crossing north to the island
Your ringed fingers in my hand
Puppet-strings over Coltrane
At the twins in the grey rain

Vapor-girl
The hissing car
Vapor-girl
The hissing car
Barely veils
Your fleet of stars

The Whistle Song; P.J. Olsson

P.J. Olsson "grew up in Houghton, and has been singing and making music as long as he can remember. With an orchestra conductor as a father and a mother with a major in voice, he has been immersed in music and creativity since childhood.
His journey of inspiration has taken him through the many ups and downs of the music business. He has five released albums, which enjoyed varying degrees of attention. He has been featured in The LA Times, The New York Times, Newsweek, USA Today, and Rolling Stone."*

The most important thing in my life is looking after my three kids and my wonderful wife. I live a simple life of hope and fun…Music and words rule my every moment, and I’m sort of along for the ride.


The Whistle Song was used in a Starburst Commercial.



I can count angels flying on by
I can count clouds now flying the sky
I can count the bad things good
And now blue
Swans are flying
And I've got to get used to

Get yourself off
Take a left at Verdugo
I'll be there as soon as I can
Look inside me or in your evil
Turn at the red gate
I'm waiting for you

You're tearing me apart my friend
Bringing me down
Over and over again
You hurt my soul
And you wreck my world
Bringing me down over a friend
Get yourself off
Get yourself off
I'll be there just as soon as I can

You're tearing me apart my friend
Bringing me down
Over and over again
You hurt my soul
And you wreck my world
Bringing me down over a friend

Hold, hold your dreams up high
Shoot into space and glorify
The need for everything that's round
It takes me on down
You're tearing me apart my friend

Bringing me down
Over and over again
You hurt my soul
And you wreck my world
Bringing me down over a friend

The Whistle Song; Chiddy Bang

Chiddy Bang is an alternative hip hop band from Philadelphia. The group consists of Chidera "Chiddy" Anamege and Noah "Xaphoon Jones" Beresin.

Yeah, Ayo we still gon' hustle hard
I ain't sweet nigga, I don't spit them truffle bars
Shorty know the deal, so she might as well shuffle cards
Used to watch Apollo and know we're higher than shuttles are
Real Chiddy. Follow. It.
Only like the ladies that, swallow. Spit
That when I'm not in the stud' and I'm hoppin' out with crew
It's just everyday shit to us, but super high to you
Uh, I said obey the code, can't be cereal (serious)
Wake up with a blunt and put it right by my cereal
Hip-hop that's my shit and Ima take my time to put it out
I'm indecisive but I'm packing bowls when in doubt
I can rap with yall twice, this is what you call life
Chiddy I'll be hoopin' so I need a basketball, while
Niggas just be lookin' at me, that is what they call sight
But fuck it we on I guess I'll never have an off night

It's serious
They don't fuck with Chiddy they delirious
Quick to get the kitty, I'll kill it if I'm curious
Yeah, that boy fly kinda like a falcon
Now why that mixtape shit soundin' like an album
I got a wardrobe so I'll be forever stylin'
Don't give your number out them ladies probably never dial it
You can't fade me, mo'fuck your barber
I got a life coach and the skills way harder
See how we scape up, windows up and we bake up
I be killin' the beats and now they puttin' yellow tape up
French girls making me breakfast I gotta crepe up
Probly' smearing the make up, after I put my cape up
Fast lane, yeah I still can't slow up
And when you least expect it that is when I show up
And they see me bet a hater gon' throw up
And you should try to be like me when you grow up

On the Water; The Walkmen

The Walkmen are an American indie rock band, with members based in New York City and Philadelphia. The band formed in 2000 with three members from Jonathan Fire*Eater (the most hyped young group that nobody has ever heard of) — Paul Maroon (guitar, piano), Walter Martin (organ/bass), and Matt Barrick (drums) — and two from The Recoys — Peter Bauer (bass/organ) and Hamilton Leithauser (vocals, guitar).¹
They prefer the sound of vintage musical instruments, particularly the upright piano, and have often recorded at Marcata Recording, a recording studio built in Harlem in 1999 by the three former members of Jonathan Fire*Eater and later relocated to upstate New York.¹

The Walkmen released seven albums in ten years of career. The only one that interests us is their fifth, You & Me, from 2008. It was well received by the critics, Pitchfork rated the album with 8,5, AllMusic gave it 4 stars out of 5.

Our whistling song is On the Water.



All the windows are glowing
The branches bending low
The skyline is swinging
Rocking back and forth
Walking down this dirt road
Watching at the sky
It's all I can do
It's all I can do

All the years keep rolling
The decades flying by
But…
The days are long
So here's one to the pigeons
And the tugboats on the river
Here's one to you
For walking in my shoes

Oh you know I'd never leave you
No matter how hard I try
You know I'd never leave you
And that's just how it is

But Molly
She's like you
Oh the static
That is in everyone but you
Oh it's funny
To think it through
Everybody
That is deep
Everyone but you

Wonderful; Circle Jerks

Be nice, say thank you
And please once in a while
It's a beautiful world we live in
So give your brother a smile
Turn to a stranger
And give him a pat on the back
It's not that hard to
Maybe the friendship will last

Wonderful! (Wonderful)
It's so wonderful! (wonderful)
Wonderful! (Wonderful)
It's so wonderful!

Don't smoke, don't litter
Don't step on a beetle or ant
Always walk on the sidewalk
Never tread on the grass
Be kind, be courteous
Open the door for your mom
Help an old person across the street
Give the bum something to eat

Wonderful! (Wonderful)
It's so wonderful! (wonderful)
Wonderful! (Wonderful)
It's so wonderful!

Be nice, say thank you

Simple Girl; Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

She's a simple girl.
She's governed by simple pleasures.
She wont ever let you meet her family,
but she'll show you pictures.

She's a simple girl
and she's got simple emotions.
She wont ever let you in,
but she wants to keep you in her corner.

I'm always looking for some kind of sadness,
something more than this.

She's a simple girl
and she's got simple feelings.
No one ever let her know that she could get it out her heart, now.

Harry Irene; Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band

Harry Irene were a couple that lived in the green
Harry Irene were a couple that ran a canteen
Ran a canteen
Ran a canteen

Two people Harry and Irene like you never seen
The floor was made of oak, the door was smokey gray
Their tuna sandwiches would turn the dark into day
They sold wine like turpentine to painters
They took to social life like props to aviators
Harry Irene were a couple that ran a canteen
Harry Irene were a couple that lived in the green
Ran a canteen

Ran a canteen took Harry for all of his green and Irene
Harry was left holding an empty canteen
And by the way folks, it was Dusty not Harry

What does this mean?
What does this mean?
What's the meaning of this?
Poor Harry, I guess

Blue You; The Magnetic Fields

The moon was singing the blues
The stars in the sky harmonized
singing it too
and I, far below
was singing low and slow
for you
and I know
all the world was singing the blues

The Queen was singing the blues
The President played the saxophone
sounded so along
it was on the news
And from Ursa Minor
in what looked like an all-night diner
came lonely luminous creatures
whose only human feature
was singing the blues
soft and low

The blues was singing the blues
The dead in their graves
and the gods in their caves,
they'd been waiting so long
to sing the blue song
about you

Thank you for the Good Times; Dan Hartman

Whistling – Carl Hartman [Dan Hartman's Father]¹

there's a part of me that you never see
that I haven't told you are
but it still there for those who can believe
try to believe in me

there's a life on me sometimes hard to leave
you are in the hands of destiny
but on the way you came along and saved my day
and now my eyes can see

thank you for the good times
thank you for ???
thank you for your kisses
thank you for just being with me

Moves Like Jagger; Maroon 5 feat. Christina Aguilera

Oh
Oooh

Just soot for the stars if it feels right
Then aim for my heart if you feel like
Take me away and make it okay
I swear I'll behave

You wanted control, so we waited
I put on a show, now I make it
You say I'm a kid, my ego is big
I don't give a shit

And it goes like this
Take me by the tongue and I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk and I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moooooves like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moooooves like Jagger

Maybe it's hard when you feel like you're broken and scarred
Nothing feels right
But when you're with me, I'll make you believe
That I've got the key

So get in the car, we can ride it
Wherever you want, get inside it
And you wanna steer, but I'm shifting gears
I'll take it from here

And it goes like this
Take me by the tongue and I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk and I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moooooves like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moooooves like Jagger

(Christina Aguilera)
You wanna know how to make me smile
Take control, own me just for the night
And if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this

So watch and learn, I won't show you twice
Head to toe, ooh baby rub me right
If I share my secret, you're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this

And it goes like this
Take me by the tongue and I'll know you (take me by the tongue)
Kiss me 'til you're drunk and I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moooooves like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

I Wanna Go; Britney Spears

Lately I've been stuck imagining
What I wanna do and what I really think
Time to blow out...
Be a little inappropriate
'Cause I know that everybody's thinking it
When the lights out...

Shame on me
To need release
Uncontrollably

I-I-I wanna go-o-o all the way-ay-ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I-I-I wanna sho-o-ow all the dir-ir-irt
I got running through my mind, woah!
I-I-I wanna go-o-o all the way-ay-ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I-I-I wanna sho-o-ow all the dir-ir-irt
I got running through my mind, woah!

Lately, people got me all tied up
There's a countdown waiting for me to erupt
Time to blow out...
I've been told who I should do it with
Keep both my hands above the blanket
When the lights out...

Shame on me
To need release
Uncontrollably

I-I-I wanna go-o-o all the way-ay-ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I-I-I wanna sho-o-ow all the dir-ir-irt
I got running through my mind, woah!
I-I-I wanna go-o-o all the way-ay-ay
Taking out my freak tonight
I-I-I wanna sho-o-ow all the dir-ir-irt

Shame on me (shame on me)
To need release (to need release)

Whatever Happens; Michael Jackson

Today marks two years since the death of Michael Jackson. Throughout my research, I could only find one song with whistlings. It is in the last studio album released while MJ was alive, his tenth album called Invincible.

This one is Whatever Happens, a song written by Geoffrey Williams, Gil Cang and J. Quay, arranged by the conductor Jeremy Lubbock,¹ and played by the distinguished guest Carlos Santana, who added a guitar and whistle solo to the latin-tinged "Whatever Happens". Discogs.com also states that Stuart Brawley whistles in the song too.

"This music video is a not-for-profit, low-budget independent production. The Magic of Michael Jackson was the first fan club to produce a tribute cover video of The King of Pop". Copy-and-paste from Youtube's description. The fake Santana is very funny!

P.S.: A curiosity: A BBC article states that policemen recorded Michael Jackson singing and whistling after his arrest back in 2003 when he faced the charge of child molestation. Does anyone know if this recording is public now? It would be a great thing to have Michael's whistling posted in the blog.

He gives another smile, tries to understand her side
To show that he cares
She can't stay in the room
She's consumed with everything that's been goin' on
She says

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Everything will be alright, he assures her
But she doesn't hear a word that he says

Preoccupied, she's afraid
Afraid that what they're doing is not right
He doesn't know what to say, so he prays
Whatever, whatever, whatever

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Don't let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Don't let go of my hand

He's working day and night, thinks he'll make her happy
Forgetting all the dreams that he had
He doesn't realize it's not the end of the world
It doesn't have to be that bad
She tries to explain, "It's you that makes me happy,"
Whatever, whatever, whatever
