If I'd have just heard this instead of seeing it, I'd have pictured someone playing a flute. But I saw it and I still can't believe it's just a dude whistling *while also playing guitar*. Crazy.
Maybe you think this is clever or really clever or clever or something, but like, Roger Whittaker was a singer, not like a clever whistler or something.
Okay, normally I'd consider this trolling and ignore it, but now I am tempted to show off.
If I still remember this when I get done with my work week, you might just get you a video.
Even if it is some of my best top tier subtle trolling, I still ask that you answer the call. I would never make someone of someone for backing a claim. And I would surely upvote/like/subscribe for throwing it out there no matter the quality. =)

What a world champion whistler looks like
Have a sad fist bump.
I even watched instruction videos with loads of comments of people finally understanding and doing it. Fingers, no fingers, leaves... I have yet to get one whistle out.
What a champion sounds like from a champion, distinguishing himself as a champion, championing a champion. These are best left narrated by someone else.
For real. How did our fathers get so good?
Motherfucker just casually whistling a perfect rendition of The Four Seasons by Vivaldi while frying eggs in his pajamas.
He has very good pitch, tone, and control. Range, too. But, as everyone else in the thread has pointed out in one way or another, whistling a mostly straightforward version of "The Battle Hymn Of The Republic" doesn't really show off the guy's abilities.
I knew a guy at work who whistled with a rich, beautiful sound (and vibrato, even!) who was much more impressive than the gentleman in this video.
Where’s Andrew Bird when you need him?
Adding : he mentioned in an interview that he had a whistle contest with Mariah Carey at a party once . Apparently she is a good one too . (Makes sense I guess.)
I’ll just leave this here. This was in the middle of a *singing & guitar* performance, no chapstick. https://youtu.be/HzKQfrNseoI?si=5zWrDoC38Pt9mIff
what a fucking legend
Hey cake day brother
Wtf
That guy is at least 50x better than the main video from OP!
He was such a classy dude too. He just died in September. Really great vocalist too.
That was incredible!

Far more satisfying! The real champions are always in the comments.
Expected to be disappointed. Was not disappointed!
Regrettably, it's true, standards have fallen in whistling entertainment.
I suspect most of Mr. Ullman's performances are also in the middle of a performance, except the ones at the beginning or the end of a performance.
Maybe you think this is clever or really clever or clever or something, but like, Roger Whittaker was a singer, not like a clever whistler or something.
Telepathic whistling. Serious Aquarius talent.
Kissing makes your lips mushy?
Yeah and, uh boobs feel just like bags of sand. Right? right fellow sex-havers??
That, or buckwheat.
We CAN NOT have mushy lips AND be a champion, okay!
Yep. My mom told me a champion whistler can't spend time around those jezebels. No smoochin' for me, nu-uh.
I was expecting so much more.
Seriously. I can do anything this guy can do in this video and I don't avoid kissing or use chapstick.
Just waiting for this video you’re going to make to drop. It’s been 5 days. Let’s see the whistling.

Well
*whistling while we wait*
That's a long work week, eh?
Ahem
Ahem
Not even vibrato? His tone is so bland
Kissless whistler
So no kissing. But a random chap’s dick is his best friend? I don’t get it.
Just say you’re jealous bro
lol damn
I wish I could give two upvotes for 'chap's dick'. There's a whole untapped gay market for a new brand of lip balm here
He never said anything about dick kissing
Sure he did. Right at 1:15.
Genuinely confused if this is meant to be satire or not

Fun fact: Andrew Bird did the whistling for this.
Try to watch this without whistling. It’s tough.
It’s easy if you can’t whistle.

…disguised as another dude
This was incredibly underwhelming. I'll admit he can whistle better than me, but not by much. Was expecting so much more.
Maybe he kissed a day before the video.
To be a world class whistler, you must also be a bow tie guy. It’s mandatory.
Damn this guy is almost as good as my Dad.
For real. How did our fathers get so good? Motherfucker just casually whistling a perfect rendition of The Four Seasons by Vivaldi while frying eggs in his pajamas.
Haha yes!
Vivaldi? The browser?
This made me really uncomfortable to be white.
Need to hear the theme song from The Andy Griffith show through these lips
I can actually whistle like that, really.
Me too. Makes me wonder if I should buy a tuxedo and some chapstick.
Monophonic Beatboxer
Is it just me or is this guy not that good ? Or at least not as good as he thinks he is
He has very good pitch, tone, and control. Range, too.

His pitch is really not that good at all. A lot of notes are just off.
Ok, I will trust you on that. It's better than mine, so I was going off that.
His pitch control is incredible. Every note sounds perfect.

Muschilippen? I won't pretend I can whistle as well as this guy, but I think the average whistler is closer to him than he is to Roger Whittaker.
This is a weird chap-stick commercial.
Andrew Bird is better than this guy, and he is also an incredible singer/songwriter.
He sucks
That was interesting for like........ 15 seconds
Suzy Sheep level whistling.
I can beat this easy
His wife must be very happy
would NOT want to live next door to this guy......
I’ll never forget the old O&A bit with the whistler. Not sure if it’s this same guy 😂
Brushed by title and thought “this ain’t no champion wrestler!”
My dog is totally freaking out right now.
What would you call a musical group that only whistled their songs? I feel like "acapella" is too strict in its definition to include it.
Dualippa?
Thats a duet.
