#SLS ~ 5/26/24

The prompt today is a song with whistling in it. Thanks Jim for hosting. HERE are the rules & pingback.

I almost didn’t participate since I was sure I couldn’t find a song to meet the prompt outside the Andy Griffith theme song. Then I read Jim’s prompt intro & I got some ideas. Then I went to the bloggers best friend aka Google (or search engine of your choice). That’s where I found an article called 40 epic songs with whistling in them. So, … as you might imagine, I have listened to snippets of 40 songs this morning. Yep. And now to share only one … that I have not shared before since surprisingly whistling in songs isn’t as uncommon as I assumed.

I’m showcasing Fitz and the Tantrums – The Walker. Songwriters: Michael Fitzpatrick, Joseph Scott Karnes, Noelle A Scaggs, Jeremy Ruzumna, James Mihdi King, John Meredith Wicks

Fitz & the Tantrums – The Walker

Ooh, crazy’s what they think about me
Ain’t gonna stop ’cause they tell me so
‘Cause 99 miles per hour baby
Is how fast that I’d like to go

Can’t keep up with my rhythm though they keep trying
Too quick for the lines they throw
I walk to the sound of my own drum
It goes, they go, we go, hey yeah yeah yeah

Oh, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really need it, need it, so go
Gotta feed this heart, it takes control
Really need it, need it

I wake up to the city of angels
To see my name headline the coast
They say I’m a walking dreamer, baby
If I stop they would make the show

Can’t keep up with my rhythm though they keep trying
Too quick for the lines they throw
I walk to the sound of my own drum
It goes, they go, we go, hey yeah yeah yeah

Oh, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really need it, need it, so go
Gotta feed this heart, it takes control
Really need it, need it
Hey, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really need it, need it, so go
Gotta feed this heart, it takes control
Really need it, need it

Everybody walk
Everybody walk
Everybody walk, walk, walk, walk, walk

Oh, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really need it, need it, so go
Gotta feed this heart, it takes control
Really need it, need it
(I need to know) oh, here we go (get in and go)
Feel it in my soul
Really need it, need it, so go
Gotta feed this heart, it takes control
Really need it, need it
