3am Mixtapes: Episode Fifty Two: Whistling

Each week on the 3am Mixtapes podcast, I will share with you the Top Six Songs of a certain subject. The topics can be as general like best winter songs. Some might be a little more... specific. Top Six Musical Mysteries.

This week is the Top Six Whistling Songs! I don't know what it is about whistling that can take a decent-enough song and turn it into an earworm that will burrow into your head and leave little earworm eggs until your entire brain is overtaken by the song... but it is a thing that can happen. And does. So why not just sit back and let it happen!

Whistle along to:

"Danse Caribe" by Andrew Bird
"Feedback in the Field" by Plants & Animals
"Dick & Jane" by Sidney York
"Young Folk" by Peter Bjorn & John
"Drink To Me Babe, Then" by AC Newman
