Roger Whittaker-Mexican Whistler

[dropkickmurph33y]

goddamn Peruvian panflute bands

[onebaud1]

Roger Miller was a talent that the world will not see again, so sad!

[jcac11]

If you whistle, as per normal, then flick your tongue up and down against the roof of your mouth you have the basics of this whistle. Then you can develop it from there with practice.

[jcac11]

I belive he learned to whistle in this way growing up in Africa?

[holyhackjackson8]

@jcac11 That is correct.

[mikka58]

how can he whistle with a spanish accent , legend

[renger29]

strange stage set !! Is this a commercial add ?

[lytken]

dos anyone know when this recording is from and where please PM

[justphil101]

LIVE.

[blue4everdave]

he'd make a great builder as what young philly could resist a wolf whistle like that?

[TheComb18]

c'est superbe bravo Roger

[AdmiralCSN]

I would never have believed that a human being was capable of whistling like that! All I can say is: Impressive; most impressive!

[datoobster75]

That is totally UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!

[micha74000]

Génial, j'ai encore ce 45 tours dans les vieux disques que je garde précieusement.

[micha74000]

Génial, j'ai ce 45 tours dans mes vieux disques que je garde précieusement.

Quel plaisir, merci.

[SakkaOnna]

I grew up listening to my parents' Roger Whittaker records (grin), and this song always blew me away. I swore I'd learn to do this myself. ...No luck yet... *sigh* Thanks so much for uploading!

[philippe2502]

ce gars est un tres grand artiste,QUELLE PRESTATION<SUPERBE

[jconder45]

Great performance. Why is he surrounded by farm equipment (or so it looks)?

[RegLeachFan]

@jconder45

And every size and type of space heater, WTF ... That's crazy???

[13gourmand]

Cette vidéo m'a replongé des années en arrière !! Que de souvenirs !!!

J'ai sifflé cet air tant et tant de fois . Merci Mr. WHITTAKER !

Mille mercis .

[doloresmytube]

[13421JLUJ]

[smallfluffydog]

Fabulous entertainer.

[MrSpottydog2]

I just love whistling this and its great fun, and i have almost perfected it but i could never beat roger at this, briiiiiiillllllllll

[pawnshops]

great

[KMxHearts]

Excuse me while I lift my jaw up off the floor...

[djgnz]

Roger Whittaker was my favorite artist groing up and i still think he is great. I'm 36 today... still love hearing him whistle and still a huge fan of the river lady

[MariachiChannel]

Un saludo de nosotros en The Mariachi Channel ~ a big Hello from us at THE MARIACHI CHANNEL

[bigfootskitty]

MAN! The birds are packing it in and going home, all disgruntled! I thought I heard one muttering under his breath calling someone A "show off".

[daveducharme]

Someone please tell me the name of a better whistler

[NebulaRasa]

@daveducharme Captain Beefheart was up there, but many of his finest whistling went sadly un-recorded. Roger is jolly though.

[DammitDrag]

@daveducharme There is none, Roger was the best.

[miskee12]

@daveducharme Geert Chatrou is quite darn good.

[train672]

Bizarre set but I guess a set designer has to start somewhere. Hint ; forget all you learnt at university and study what producers/directors actually use. If you think that because you have just graduated, you know everything - forget it. You are just starting to learn the business NOW and it will take many years before you can call yourself competant. If you make sets like the above in future, excpect a carrear at McDonalds and yes, they do treat their employees well, you could be a manager

[Wolfspiderxl]

He has many imitators,but mostly tuneless twittering twats

[Wolfspiderxl]

Didn't he appear on Opportunity Knocks , back in the '60s? made an art form of whistling,

[seethsea]

the best whistling i have ever herd and a great voice

[JonasClark]

Most bizarre set theme ever. I'm not sure... Mexican = orchard worker? We've got a tractor, a few propane anti-frost heaters and a ton of smudge pots. Great song, though, amazing.

[milkybar100]

@JonasClark its a set from his past.. he grew up in africa on an orchard and farmland

[Ynqve]

Still don't get the music video.

[Sunshinelady65]

@Ynqve

Da må det være noe galt med dataen din.

[Ynqve]

@Sunshinelady65 .. I do see it, I just don't get the idea with the video.

[Sunshinelady65]

@Ynqve

hahahahaha LOL



[Sunshinelady65]

@Sunshinelady65

Me neither , but the whistling is cool !

[marijahr]

This is just amazing!

[evajom1]

Muchos gracias senor.The Lawn mowers and tractors are the beating heart of Mexico.

[gemmerbier]

It's easy to do. Once you got the hang of it. My dad can do it really well.

[folkwisdom]

simply masterful...once bought a double album of his stuff just for this track alone. thx

[waynewrg]

Great load HUUUUUGE FAN THAAAAANKS

[woodster1965]

Haven't heard this for over 40 yrs!! my god it brings back memories...if im rite this was on the B-side of an old Roger Whittaker song wich i cant remember now but my parents had it in the late 60s...any ideas out there?

[bmcjones]

[BigJiggety]

So fresh, alive , and vibrant. Love it!

[Oscillatorment]

How do you trill like that while whistling?

When I whistle, the tip of my tongue is

involuntarily pressed firmly to the bases

of my lower incisors.

[fizzlebug]

Could anybody tell me the chords for this awesome song? I can't find them anywhere!!!

[Tempeldragen]

An incredibly kewl musical arrangement. A life long love this one.

The Dragon

[basushaunak]

Really a Master!

[zaaritha]

He was great!

[Ospinhioo]

Badass whistling

[gaanjaman]

[telstar9]

Superb beard.  Bravo!

[HermanHanauer]

deze is prachtig Leodorus en je brengt me op een prachtig idee.Wat een juweelttje.dank je wel

[percystreet]

and after nearly 50 years I can almost whistle it as well as him!!!!! - almost

[billyb8]

After 50 years I can get about 85% of it. A couple of the key changes get me every time

[leafsfan9917]

@billyb8 50 years well spent? just asking cause Im 16 and wondering if I should just give up on trying to learn it lol

[billyb8]

@leafsfan9917

Keep going. I learned a lot by just whistling a lot of flute and clarinet classical music. and when I was you age leaning the basics of tonguing on a cornet.

[leafsfan9917]

@billyb8 yeah mabye, right now I am trying to figure the guitar out.... just cant seem to get the hang of it....

[renumme]

I use this melodi for my Parrot.He is beginning to learn Whisling.Here is the master.(:-)

[msm2you]

This song always made me get up and dance when I was a child.

Still does - ready to flip your skirts?
