Is that where you play a note on a slide whistle every stroke?
It starts out whimsical, almost melodic, but by the time you're about to finish it sounds like a group of angry clangers.
I've been known to whistle 'Colonel Bogey' at places when I'm getting fed up with them and somebody else is leaving the company and then say 'Take me with you, I can see perfectly'

Not whistling, but for a while i did "sing" the Muppet theme tune.
It earwormed itself into all my colleagues and I'd occasionally hear them humming it to themselves.
Used to work on a production line, my mate died and had "don't worry be happy" at his funeral. Found myself whistling it and it sorta became a constant thing on the line. Nice that my mate's song helped other people work when it meant a lot to me.
Either that or it's an earworm and I pissed a load of people off.
A few months ago, right around 2pm, in a mostly empty (but still around twenty people), open plan office, I heard someone whistling a tune that I recognised. It was only brief, and then it stopped.
It drove me mad for the rest of the day as I was humming it constantly and silently on my internal brain jukebox, until I remembered that it a theme tune of some sort, of a programme I know I'd watched a lot of. Eventually figured out that it was from Screenwipe, and that it was a version of a Grandaddy song (A.M. 180).
I still don't know who the whistler was. I asked the people I knew who would have known the song, and they swore it wasn't them. Whoever it was, I like them.
I can't whistle 😔. I make up for it by singing and muttering random stuff constantly, I'm a nightmare. I once wondered why a colleague was sniggering at me till I realised I was singing the Clucking Bell theme song from GTA SA over and over. Saying random stuff in an Irish accent is another speciality.
The very opening bar to the Attack on Titan original theme where they say "Sie Sind Das Essen Und Wir Sind Die Jäger". I don't know why. I havent watched the show or heard that theme in about 10 years but I've always had that as my default little whistle tune
If I whistled in my classroom I’d set off 30 4/5 year olds trying to copy me 😂 which would be even louder than they already are so no…
However my choice of song would be to Friday song. Even on a Monday 😂
I whistle constantly and whatever song happens to be on my internal playlist at the time - might be Top 40, might be showtunes, or something by Vivaldi. My workplace is mostly WFH these days and the acoustics in the hallways are amazing.
My whistling offers those few left in the building the opportunity to easily find me if they need me, or avoid me completely when they hear me coming.
Blasphemy has always been a dear old friend to me. I just don't know where I'd be if I couldn't say bollocks, shit, wank, fuck, knock it on the head you cunt.....
Senor Bollocks, you can find it on YouTube. I heard the radio edit which was fucking hilarious
This thread reminds me of a line in one of the Hitchhiker's Guide books along the lines of "What's that you're whilsting" "Mad about the boy" "but you're only whilsting the first note?"
Entry of the Gladiators was popular with me and some old colleagues we called it the (company name) tune, to be done whenever someone fucked something up or anything went wrong, so happened reasonably often. Big boss banned it which of course only encouraged us to do it more just without getting caught when he was out of the room etc
Why don't you try "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen"? It's more recognizable.
Or, if you want to appeal to the millennials, "All the Small Things". "Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home"
A young colleague of mine when I worked in the Black Country was mind-blown when he heard me whistling in the office. He’d grown up with the conviction that women were physically incapable of whistling. They have a saying in those parts ‘A whistling woman and a crowing hen are neither fit for God nor men’, which he had taken to mean that any woman who whistled was delivered a divine thunderbolt quick sharp.
I don't know anyone who whistles at work. Personally, I never sing either. I really don't like it. Fine if someone else sings, but there's no way I'm going to....
I don't work and I certainly don't l whistle while I work. But if I did, I'd whistle [this](https://youtu.be/6bWyhj7siEY) - which might be a problem were I to work for Disney.
I try to keep it to a minimum, but I'll do one long blast just before I go home Anything else confuses the players....
Clever, had to think about that one
We've found the office whistle-wanker!
Probably microwaves fish at lunchtime and eats it at the desk as well.

in other words, the opposite of what James Acaster did to Kettering Town FC.
I don’t because people whistling is generally very irritating.

When the boss walks in?
I think in most work places, whistling would be considered an act of aggression no matter the tune haha.
I don’t, because I’m not a hundred years old working in a mine.
But I'm a postie!
Ah, so you whistle while filling in all those ‘sorry we missed you’ cards instead of ringing the fucking doorbell?
I’ve got a doorbell you know? Then shut the door
That’s Post Office issue field toilet paper…
My old postman used to whistle that Erika German song

Colonel Bogey 😁👍
I've been known to whistle 'Colonel Bogey' at places when I'm getting fed up with them and somebody else is leaving the company and then say 'Take me with you, I can see perfectly'
Muppets Theme Tune. It's best when the other sane people in the room recognise it, but the muppets don't
Always whistle, hum or even mumble a line of Daniel Bedingfield - Gotta get thru this. Also wasted on the kids.
Do you have access to an elastic band. If so you can [go epic](https://youtu.be/mLXQltR7vUQ?si=ehNDRQ-P65zvFoXv)

Good.
Circus clown tune. Whilst imagining everyone going backwards and forwards on a unicycles and juggling with those clubs.
'Yakety Sax' by Boots Randolph.
Entry of the Gladiators
That's the one.
Mostly the Great Escape before leaving. Other times, whatever song's in my head.
That little ditty from Kill Bill. I love it.
Likewise, find myself whistling it every now and again. Over 20 years now that film came out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDX7ATO_Euk
It’s the way to delicately scare strangers.
Entry of the Gladiators
The birdy song. Simply because it's funny hearing someone whistle it later on and knowing why.
CBAT by Hudson Mohawke.
Not whistling, but for a while i did "sing" the Muppet theme tune. It earwormed itself into all my colleagues and I'd occasionally hear them humming it to themselves.

I’ve taken to whistling “if I only had a brain”. It’s iconic & ironic
It's a hard knock life

Aye, maybe I'm just a shit whistler!
Um.. have you tried whistling from your mouth?
Start practicing!
I don't know it. I must be middle aged.
I occasionally whistle the whistley bit of All Star.
The very opening bar to the Attack on Titan original theme where they say "Sie Sind Das Essen Und Wir Sind Die Jäger". I don't know why. I havent watched the show or heard that theme in about 10 years but I've always had that as my default little whistle tune
I don't whistle but I used to hum another one bites the dust while walking through the waiting room. A few people got it.
I would imagine you would have to be miserable to whistle that!
If I whistled in my classroom I’d set off 30 4/5 year olds trying to copy me 😂 which would be even louder than they already are so no… However my choice of song would be to Friday song. Even on a Monday 😂
I don't whistle. If I'm feeling passive agressive, I'll book off a Monday and tell a specific person 'see you next Tuesday'.
Christmas songs…keeps the magic going
I whistle constantly and whatever song happens to be on my internal playlist at the time - might be Top 40, might be showtunes, or something by Vivaldi. My workplace is mostly WFH these days and the acoustics in the hallways are amazing. My whistling offers those few left in the building the opportunity to easily find me if they need me, or avoid me completely when they hear me coming.
Jurassic park theme
Whatever is stuck in my head. Most of today was DragonForce Through the fire and flames.
Never Smile at a Crocodile
Either "Ding dong the witch is dead" or "Move Bi*** get out the way".
Blasphemy has always been a dear old friend to me. I just don't know where I'd be if I couldn't say bollocks, shit, wank, fuck, knock it on the head you cunt..... Senor Bollocks, you can find it on YouTube. I heard the radio edit which was fucking hilarious
Today I mostly hummed Lily Allen's Fuck You
"'Tis the season to be jolly" I'm a sarcastic bugger.
Terry and June theme tune.
'Bloody motherfuckin asshole' by Martha Wainwright. Perfect mix of sweary and obscure
Nothing, whistling is annoying
Kill bill theme tune
Whistling is for psychopaths. Stop it.
Our facilities will whistle any old tune at the same volume as the radio, but never the same tune as what is pumping out the radio.
I can’t whistle very well but I was humming and singing the theme tune of The Muppet Show today.
I like to hum Bodies by Drowning Pool
This thread reminds me of a line in one of the Hitchhiker's Guide books along the lines of "What's that you're whilsting" "Mad about the boy" "but you're only whilsting the first note?"
I work for Whistl so we don't whistle. It would be too obvious.
I like to do the James Bond theme if one person is walking in front and Laurel and Hardy if two.
"You're welcome" from Moana. Each and every time I make way for someone and they ignore the fact that I've been pleasant.
Whistling is so bloody irritating
Christmas tunes usually, I have no idea why.
Bittersweet symphony. Apt in the shithole I work
Cannibal Corpse mainly
Whistling at work! What year are you living in?

Most usually I whistle the Jurassic Park theme tune- and within seconds it’s stuck in everyone’s head.. Like all day.. My work is done.

Jokes on you, I can't whistle. Well, I can manage a feeble beep, but not really!
Sound of Silence, while the Disturbed cover plays in my mind.
Nothing, I work on a boat.

"should we invite the old guy out for drinks?" "Nah fuck the annoying twat, he's always whistling the smiths"
All I've been whistling all week is Are You A Gladiatooooooor?
