  • This is my baby parrot Coco's favourite You Tube video. She is a Brown Headed parrot.

  • Nice phantom accompaniment haha. Very good though

  • Oh no nobrained!!!

    keep up the good work though man i hope to be as good of a whistler as you sometime so i can play guitar and whistle at the same time!

  • @bigricharddd Hey man, thanks for the kind words. And don't sweat the mean comments, I don't... People are having fun and if I couldn't take it then I shouldn't post a vid of myself whistling with no shirt on and purple tinted glasses... Haha. I think sometimes I just forget that the rest of the world isn't California. But either way thanks for the words of support, that was very cool of you.

  •  Yes! I do play your whistling over and over for my bird!

  • Hi Dave, I was looking for someone with a nice sounding whistle, came across YOU! I have a African Gray and she love's to whistle, You are grate! I'll be teaching her your whistle. My Dad, now passed, had a very beautiful whistle, never finding an other person with his sound. He, like you, had it in his soul always whistling. I'm delighted to find you. Thank You, Your beautiful whistle will be enjoyed around here. Keep on truck'en!

  • @MissMartiel Hey, thanks very much for the kind comment! Sorry I'm so far behind responding... I'm glad you're enjoying my whistling and I hope you always keep alive the memory of your Dad. Cheers! :)

  • THIS IS RAD

  • Sourmat....never mind.

  • Hey, that is really cool! I found this video after I searched Andy - I just released my Andy Griffith Show Trivia app on the iPhone - you should check it out!

  • Woah, that sounds exactly like the real thing!

  • Awkward.....

  • I play this for my bird and he'll always lick the screen x]

  • wish you werent spapping your fingers.. I dont want my African Grey Parrot making that noise! Love thw whistling tho :)

  • Lol I am using your vids to teach my cockatiel songs :)

  • Sounds great but I wish u werent snapping your fingers,im trying to refresh my parrots memory on this but I dont want him makiing the finger snapping sound :)

  • is it possible to get this on an mp3? I enjoy your version the best and wish to have it repeat for my birds to learn...they give it a four wings up. Thanks

  • @sac15105 LOL Thanks... Unfortunately I was not able to obtain a license to distribute this recording in any other form or medium. I'm only authorized by the estate of Earle Hagen to have my whistling video up on YouTube; any other use would be copyright infringement. I do know a lot of people have sat with their birds and just play this video over & over several times for them, once or twice a day, and I have heard from a lot of people who say their birds were able to learn it. Good luck!!

  • has anyone told you that you look like anthony kiedis from the red hot chili peppers?

  • @billymidol Yes, I've been told that a few times... LOL

  • Nice Tits.

    

  • @Colasaus Thank you, they're 100% natural too.

  • nice one, it wud have been even better if u'd have a shirt on though.

  • @TheMovieIdiot That's what they tell me.

  • nice

  • @JediMasterOW Thanks!

  • @WhistlersBrother How did you guys learn how to whistle like that?

  • Very fine rendition of an old classic. Nice subtle use of multi-tracking.  And yes, my African Gray parrot was bopping along with the tune. Thanks WB!

  • @JoeHamelin Haha, thanks Joe!! Glad you guys are enjoying it. :)

  • I am using it myself to train my birds i love it so much very beautiful.

  • @happynmontana Cool!! I hope the birds do well with it... :)

  • @happynmontana Me Too!

  • I whistle this song all the time...but never heard it whistled quite that well. Nice touches. ;-)

  • @Irresistablygraced Thanks!!

  • That's my favorite old TV show and you did a great job on the whistling! Thanks!

  • hey love your mayberry whistle would like to use your whistle if thats ok to teach my birds but how could I burn it to a cd?

  • @mrsfig72 Hi, thanks very much... A lot of people have told me they use this video to train their birds on this song.

    I really can't advise you to burn it to a CD though... That's actually against YouTube's Terms of Service.

    I may be able to put this tune on iTunes so you could download it; I'm looking into that to make sure I'm clear on copyright issues first. But in the meantime, I know several other people have told me they just played this video for their bird a few times a day.

  • :O ur great

  • @pumpypumpy Thanks!  :D

  • DEDELER!

  • Put something on or seagulls will take you.

  • @P4ukke LOL

  • my eclectus parrot is learning this!! hence all the recent hits

  • @51cindybeard I'm glad you like it! Hope your bird is doing well with it!

  • @51cindybeard

    me too. How is your bird's whistling coming after a month?

  • seriously, i thought it was a topless woman...! o_0

  • @M8T12B93 me too!

  • @M8T12B93 Needs a manzierre !

  • @huskyjerk You mean a bro!

  • thumbs up if drake brought u here!!!

  • @XCLUS1V90 You're lucky. I asked Drake for a ride the other day and he said no, he wouldn't bring me anywhere.

  • @XCLUS1V90 AHA SO WEIRD, i didnt know what "the andy griffin theme song" was from best i ever had, so i looked it up

  • @TheChris370 Actually I believe that honor goes to Jesus and Jerry Garcia. But thanks!

  • This is a perennial favorite of mine. I like the embellishments you make and I wonder, did you dub in the extra whistle in the end or is it another person off camera? I keep coming back because the birds occasionally need to recalibrate their song and your tune in better then the original. Also, shirt, glasses, you've already heard about it...

  • @theshroomhermit Thanks, yes I dubbed in the harmony/counterpart after filming.  Glad you & your birds are enjoying this!

  • I like to see how long a long hair, no shirt freek would last in mayberry.  LOL

  • @tgpii Haha, Barney would flip out & shoot me, and then when Opie asks Andy why, he would say "Well son, because he was a long haired freak with no shirt on" and then Opie would say "But Pa, he was a nice man who whistled and he wasn't hurting anybody. You always tell me it's your character that's important, not what people think about you." And then Andy would realize he was right and the episode would end with Andy speaking at my funeral and then everybody would have ice cream. :) The end.

  • Please tell me there was another person whistling or you did two takes or I think that I might just shit bricks at how inhuman your whistling abilities are.

  • @sk8rkid135 LOL No I'm not a magician. I recorded the second part (harmony/counter-part) after the fact, and dubbed it in. The first part was recorded while filming.

  • yo thank u so much! cause of u, i can play this on my sax!

  • @Yukinari123 Cool!! I'm glad you were able to learn it!

  • damn your awesome at whistling...you should make a youtube channel and show the world how good you ar----wait...you already did ^^

  • Well, Thank-you! It saves MY "whistler" a lot of stress!

  • how do u whistle so good?

  • @Fuzzy200929 Years of practice. Hey if you like to whistle and want to get better at it, I have whistling tutorials on my channel. You have to click on "Playlists" to find them.

  • @WhistlersBrother ijust relizied another thing how do u snap so good?

  • awwwwww, i thought it was a half naked woman :(

  • @peiceOcheese Oh, sorry, I got no milk for ya.

  • @WhistlersBrother Actually, I did too. Look at your video's picture. Your chest protrudes.

  • @Rezindez Aw dang, sorry about that man. If you want to see naked chicks, there are much better websites than YouTube. (Uh... At least, that's what I've heard, ahem...)

    :D

  • @WhistlersBrother That's not what I meant... I mean, I wasn't even expecting this video to actually play. I was just curious about how a half-naked woman related to the Andy Griffith theme.

  • @Rezindez LOL Oh... OK, sorry about that. :)

  • #OMG Thats osum, can you add the lyrics to the vid. I wanna try this on karaoke night.

  • @thisnameisthekewlest If you search YouTube for Andy Griffith theme lyrics you'll find it... But if somebody has this song in their karaoke library, wouldn't it give you the lyrics on screen?

  • Haha! Nicely done! My brother just had novacaine for a filling and I told him to try whistling this. Now I'm going to post this on his page to make fun of him that he can't lol. Thanks!!

  • My bird loves this! Love the LILT in the whistle!

  • Put a shirt on -_-

  • @ScottAndHisGuitarr LOL Then I won't get all the "Holy cow, it's a chick without her shirt on!" views on this.

  • Excellent. Nice job whistler

  • @only4daddi Thanks!

  • @kawai52 Fake? What is fake about it?

  • @WhistlersBrother dudes just jealous cause he still hasn't figured out how to whistle.

    btw that was good shit. i like how you guys had did the background whistles...thats an art man.

  • @mclazyi Hey thanks for the kind words! Glad you liked it.

  • The old Andy Griffith theme song was the best, they ruined it now. Nice job by the way :P

  • @DeathSparky1 Thanks! Glad you liked it.

  • you look a little bit like "the rock"!!!

  • @MusicAndTutorial Can you smell what the Rock is whistlin'? LOL I don't actually look that much like him when I'm not wearing the glasses... My eyes are not big enough. (But I won't argue if people think I look like him.)

  • thats sooo cool :D imma play this over and over to teach my bird to do it

  • @Redtopaz14 I think I have a lot of avian repeat viewers on this video... LOL

  • This is what i call "ear candy."

  • @kingben821 Thanks!

  • wow that was sweet, good to see how many views you've got on this too. And you actually got permission from Laura Hagen wowza how'd you do that? Don't tell me you know her as well!

  • @davidkeithbecket Thanks!! Wasn't easy tracking her down; took a little bit of effort. I basically told her the whole situation, sent her a link to the video, and asked for her permission. She was very nice, and had a lot of questions. We e-mailed back and forth several times for days, and then she gave me permission. She's about the nicest lady you could ever get an e-mail from! Very wise, too.

  • One word... Skill

  • @aebrooksyahoocom Thanks!

  • @WhistlersBrother i think you have skill yur amazing dude i cant do this its so hard!

  • Cherry is still learning, she's only a year old our Congo Grey but she loves this. she is stuck on the Weeds theme though, lol. And of course what do they do? They stop using that theme! UGH! So I use youtube and play these for her, I will record her and put her up when she has it down. Sometimes we wake up to her singing this, and of course that makes one smile! Keep on Whistling! Kat

  • You are looking like Dwayne Johnson xD Your face is same.

  • @TheMagnetic45 Can you smelllllll what the Rock is whistlin? Ha ha. Thanks, other people have told me that too.

  • By the way. I like video :)

  • @TheMagnetic45 Thanks!  I'm glad you liked it. :)

  • Adam dedelere özenmiş çıplak takılıyo

  • @TheMagnetic45 Ben çıplak değilim. Ben pantolon giymişti.

  • cCcGrandpascCc

  • Why you naked?

  • @RunemanJaek51 Actually I had pants on. But don't tell anybody, that would ruin the illusion.

  • @RunemanJaek51 Thats ridiculous, he is shirtless. Got a problem with shirtless men?

    lmao. :D

  • Lol drakes a rapper and I heard it in one of his songs called best I ever had

    Haha and oh...I'll have to look up some episodes lol and good job haha

  • @SexiHulaGurl Oh, OK, I guess that shows how old I am. I don't keep up with the popular musicians these days (and I don't really listen to rap too much). Thanks again! Take care. :)

  • wow... i love the andy griffith show, its funny because im only 11 but i have been trying to learn how to whistle that and its just too complicated!

  • @SuperOlive101 Glad you liked it! Hey I'll send you my whistling tutorials, I have four so far, maybe some of them will help you improve if it's something you're interested in. Thanks for watching!

  • Is this really u wisleling ??its good srry now that i watched it its really good but idk wat andy griffin is lol

  • @SexiHulaGurl LOL It's OK... Glad you liked it after all. Yes it really is me whistling (the harmony part was dubbed in later though, also whistled by me). Andy Griffith is a guy (he's still alive) who had a TV show way back in the ancient days of television history. This was the theme song. btw who is Drake?

  • Thats so fake..this is the worst video evaa..i only looked it up because i heard it in one of drakes songs And im only 14..how am i supposed to kno wat the heck the andy griffin theme song is?lol

  • ur whistling is amazing! :)

  • @ed5639 Thanks!

  • Dusty bird singing Andy griffith song

  • This is gonna sound crazy but my bird luvs this clip of yours. You should watch the video my friend recorded of him listening to your clip. lol

  • @candiceb1988 Cool!! I will look that up and watch it... You know, a lot of people tell me their bird(s) love this video and they use it to help them learn to whistle this song... LOL

  • Copy paste send to freinds and subsribe

  • @MrTobiuchiha2 LOL Thanks! I agree. :)

  • i thought that was a woman and she was naked....sorry about that

  • @TheCOM1993 Oh, sorry!! YouTube is the wrong site if that's what you're looking for... LOL I hope you enjoyed the vid anyway.

  • Awesome stuff! :)

  • @candiceb1988 Thanks a bunch!

  • @WhistlersBrother Welcome! :) How long you been whistling this good for?! :)

  • @candiceb1988 Whoops! Sorry, I missed this one... I've been whistling since I was 3 or 4 but started to get good at it in my early 20's, and started to get really good in my mid-30's. I just turned 41, and I hope to be even better by the time I'm 50! If my wife doesn't cut my lips off first. (She's tired of hearing my whistling. LOL She's been hearing it non-stop for the last 15 years.)

  • dope

  • @tpcrest Thanks!

  • This ir really good my mom even likes it!

  • @MrTobiuchiha2 I'm glad you and your mom and bird like it! :)

  • You do it better than the show itself lol

  • @smileitsme0827 Thanks!  You're too kind! :)

  • Your talent makes me jealous.

  • @smileitsme0827 No need to be jealous! Check out the whistling tutorials on my channel... with enough practice anybody can do this.

  • wow my budgie Captain Oogleley Smoogley and i are like wislte looks at each other then cntinue

  • :O wow what the hell. How did you do that end part ??

  • @TheYoungMoneyShow LOL That was done by editing... I recorded a second part whistling the harmony for the middle part and the end part after the fact. (This was in my early days of making vids and all I did was use the "voiceover" tool in iMovie on the Mac. These days I use GarageBand for multi-tracking.) I actually can whistle two notes at once but it's really limited, I definitely could never do anything like this with that.

  • ☼OMG! I LOVE this!☼

  • @saramary33 Ha ha, thanks!! I love this one too...

  • ccc inci ccc

  • My African Grey, Ruby, loves this version too. She whistles is all day long. She is not as good as you yet, but she is trying ;)

  • @2trysoy Practice makes perfect! Glad you & Ruby are enjoying it. :)

  • My African Grey finally heard the correct version of this song. Great job,Dusty thanks you,I thank you.Now he can do it the right way !

  • @demmylowther Thanks! Let me know when Dusty has it nailed, I would love to see that. Glad you're enjoying this!

  • wow man ur soo skilled ,how the heck u did that last part with the 2 tones

    was someone whistling behind the camera with u ??

  • @raymonde91 Ha ha!! Dude, I'm an OK whistler, but I'm not a magician. The harmony part is whistled by me later. I added it in afterward. (You could say I "dubbed" it in later while I was editing the vid.) Both parts whistled by me, just at different times. Thanks for the kind words!!

  • You are a great whistler!!! Do you think you could upload whistling of "The Stranger," by Billy Joel? I am trying to teach it to my cockatiel, but it's not very clear, and I think plain whisting would be easier for him than with music. Thanks!! --- Denise

  • @cursenfumble Thanks Denise! I love that tune! I've gotten a lot of requests from people who want certain songs for their birds to learn, and I've never done any of them. So I'll feel bad for everybody else if I start now! LOL That's terrible. Hmmm... Maybe next time I record I can throw something down really quick for you, and do some of the other requests I've gotten too so I'm not gypping anybody. I'll see what I can do. (I don't get to record very often though, please be aware.)

  • This is awesome! =D

  • LOL THATS AWESOME

  • this is really good

  • Wow, I have to say that's pretty good...

    I was even nodding my head along to the beat...lol

  • You look like SUCH a hipster in this vid....

  • @GeoSlash99 Ha ha, yea, I am somewhat of a hippie.

  • Nice tits!

  • great whistling! but please, use a cloth!

  • the first 10 seconds I was like. "wow that is one good looking girl" then at 10 seconds I saw some nip, and was like "oh wow peep show. Nice can't believe this is on youtube." Then at 11 -12 seconds. "damn that girl has a hairy chest"

    Did not realize until 00:13 seconds this is a DUDE!

    Good whistling. But would have been better coming from a chick

  • HA HA HAAAA That's the funniest comment I think I've ever gotten. Glad you enjoyed the whistling. Sorry I've got no milk for ya.

  • meant no disrespect. Enjoyed the whistling.

  • LOL No problem, none taken.

  • Terific!!!!!
