Members New Trail Posted September 11, 2012 Members Share Posted September 11, 2012 "Whistle" by Flo Rida seems to be a pretty catchy little tune. We're thinking of learning it. Does anyone on here play it? If so, does it work? How does it go over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeff42 Posted September 11, 2012 Members Share Posted September 11, 2012 Ostrich Hat added it a few shows ago. its working ok. We keep it in the 1st set. I keep the drums going through the whole song cuz it is kind of a "mellower" tune originally. We medley Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry in with it So the beat is closer to that song than the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wheresgrant3 Posted September 11, 2012 Members Share Posted September 11, 2012 Catchy song. Nope.... and not likely... but never say never. We're pretty Flo'Rida'd-out. We still do 'Low', 'Good Feelings', 'In The Air' to great audience response. 'Whistle' seems like it will be here and gone by the time we learn it. I think it's on the chart decline already. Plus it has that gay 'whistle' which is really hard to do live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GCDEF Posted September 11, 2012 Members Share Posted September 11, 2012 We do. I hate it. Only performed it once so far. Didn't go very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mstreck Posted September 12, 2012 Members Share Posted September 12, 2012 'Good Feelings' Who does the Etta James part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wheresgrant3 Posted September 12, 2012 Members Share Posted September 12, 2012 Who does the Etta James part? Our singer. We were going to sample it originally but we couldn't get a clean sample of it. Besides it sounded more raw, band like with him singing it.

Members New Trail Posted September 12, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 12, 2012 Well, I got a text from our singer and it looks like we're going to try it, along with "Everybody Talks" "She's So Mean" "Some Nights" "Hard to Breath" & "Payphone". That's a LOT of new material for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeff42 Posted September 13, 2012 Members Share Posted September 13, 2012 She's So Mean- i wasn't sold on this one until we started playing it. It is getting a good reaction so far. Some Nights- this is the new song by Fun right? I really dig the harmonies and the folky- celtic rock vibe in some parts. let me know how this one works out for you guys.

The verse and hook are so close Paul Simon ought to take them to court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
