wanner251 17 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 As for showers... one of the tunes I sing is actually kind of an elephant in the room. Upon further examination (in the context of this thread), I just realized that it is completely inappropriate.... Funny how a thread like this one made me think about it... I don't think I could bring myself to whistle it in the shower anymore now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni Wiljami 1,205 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I don't whistle much... I sing/hum! in the shower, loudly! call of the champions is great for morning showers, I tell you.Why can't I believe any of this? It's a difficult piece. I need some pic/video proof of this, I tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,019 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I've never been much of a whistler. I do hum or sing from time to time, but if I've got something really stuck in my head, the best catharsis is to play it on piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 You flatter yourself, Lee.Since no one else does, i guess you have little choice.You are my shadow, my eager and playful little puppy that goes in whatever direction i send it. Often without realising it.You even copied the whole shadow concept from me....Oh boy, there's some belligerent sexual tension between these two...Thankfully Alice is far to smart for such a thing.

Krang 1 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 There's actually a cue from The Phantom Menace that for some reason replays in my head a couple of times a week. It's when we see Coruscant for the first time. Starting with the shot of the planet to the camera panning across the city towards Palpatines balcony. It's a rather dramatic cue but it plays more often in my head than any other John Williams piece. Though the Jurassic Park main theme is probably a close second.

Thor 7,385 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Don't laugh (OK, you can laugh), but for the last couple of weeks, I've had Williams' theme for the unaired 1965 pilot WHO GOES THERE? running through my head. I haven't been whistling it daily, but it keeps popping up in my mind, for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,449 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I can't whistle either. You know how to whistle, don't ya? You just put yer lips together...and blow. I have whistled Slalom on Mount Humol before. Impressive, most impressive, but can you whistle the woodwind section in "The Mine Car Chase"?

Thor 7,385 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Sorry, Lee!Another obscure Williams theme that I struggled with for a long time (and that still pops up now and then) is the one he wrote for the shortlived TV show THE TAMMY GRIMES SHOW: Jilal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,800 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 When I'm drunk, I automatically start whistling Haddock's Theme.But it's not a daily thing, so I don't know if it counts. alicebrallice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAfonso 186 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 The most perplexingly stubborn tune stuck in my head just below consciousness level is the Midway march. Virtually every time I'm walking somewhere with a steady determined step for a significant length of time, I start whistling it and can't get it out again.

Jilal 569 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I never whistle. I hum stuff from all composers I've heard music of, but mainly Williams. Sorry, Lee!Another obscure Williams theme that I struggled with for a long time (and that still pops up now and then) is the one he wrote for the shortlived TV show THE TAMMY GRIMES SHOW: Ah yes, very catchy!
