About Whistle

"Whistle" is a song by American rapper Flo Rida from his fourth album Wild Ones (2012). It was released on September 5, 2011 as the third single from the album. "Whistle" was written by Flo Rida, David Glass, Marcus Killian, Justin Franks, Breyan Isaac and Antonio Mobley while production was handled by DJ Frank E and Glass. "Whistle" is a electropop song characterized by a whistling melody. Upon its release, the song received mostly mixed reviews from music critics. They generally praised its pop sound, noting that it had the potential of becoming another hit with its "catchy" hook. However, several critics gave a negative review for the lyrics, interpreted as a thinly veiled euphemism for oral sex, calling it "the least subtle song ever". The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Flo Rida's third number one hit and his first since 2009's "Right Round". Outside the United States, "Whistle" was also commercial success, topping the charts in some countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the Republic of Ireland and peaked within the top ten of the charts in others, including Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom.

Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby
Let me know
Girl I'm gonna show you how to do it
And we start real slow
You just put your lips together
And you come real close
Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby
Here we go

Look, I'm bettin' you like people
And I'm bettin' you love freak mode
And I'm bettin' you like girls
That give love to girls and stroke your little ego
I bet you I'm guilty, your honor
That's just how we live in my genre
Who in the hell done paved the road wider?
There's only one Flo and one Rida
I'm a damn shame, order more champagne
Pull a damn hamstring tryna put it on ya
Let your lips spin back around corner
Slow it down, baby, take a little longer

Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby
Let me know
Girl I'm gonna show you how to do it
And we start real slow
You just put your lips together
And you come real close
Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby
Here we go

Whistle baby, whistle baby
Whistle baby, whistle baby

Whistle baby, whistle baby
Whistle baby, whistle baby

It's like everywhere I go, my whistle ready to blow
Shawty don't even know, she can get any for the low
Told me she's not a pro, it's okay, it's under control
Show me soprano 'cause, girl, you can handle
Baby, we start slow then you come up and park close
Girl, I'm the whistle man, my Bugatti the same notes
Show me your perfect pitch, you got it, my banjo
Talented with your lips like you blew out a candle
So amusing
Now you can make a whistle with the music
Hope you ain't got no issues, you can do it
Even if it's no picture, never lose it

Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby
Let me know
Girl I'm gonna show you how to do it
And we start real slow
You just put your lips together
And you come real close
Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby
Here we go

Whistle baby, whistle baby
Whistle baby, whistle baby

Whistle baby, whistle baby
Whistle baby, whistle baby

Go on, girl, you can twerk it
Let me see you whistle while you work it
I'ma lay back, don't stop it
'Cause I love it how you drop it, drop it, drop it on me
Now, shorty, let that whistle blow-ow-ow
Yeah, baby, make that whistle blow-ow-ow

Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby
Let me know
Girl I'm gonna show you how to do it
And we start real slow
You just put your lips together
And you come real close
Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby
Here we go

Whistle baby, whistle baby
Whistle baby, whistle baby

Whistle baby, whistle baby
Whistle baby, whistle baby
