Subject: Flo Rida's "Whistle" - Out of Gas, Drops to #4

Written By: LyricBoy on 07/29/12 at 7:35 am

Flo Rida's new song. "Whistle" has debuted on the VH1- Top Twenty Videos list this week, position #15.

The song, which is about teaching one how to properly whistle, is quite catchy.  I don't think it will be as big of a megahit as "Low" was though.

I think that next week it is going to blow past the competition and make it into the Top Ten.

It's already a #1 hit here in Canada as well as Australia.  Come on America, you need to catch up already :P

Indeed. It's refreshing to see a nice family friendly hiphop tune make it big.

Reminds me of the classic "Whistle While You Work".

Gotta hand it to Flo Rida; the man knows how to make a hit. One of the few hip-hop artists today who can get his songs to chart high (although he's arguably not hip-hop; let's just call him a rapper).

Yeah it's family friendly hip-hop but I think he's referring to "Blow My Whistle" in another words he needs oral. It's quite obvious at what he's singing about. ::)

Looks like "Whistle" is losing a little steam on the charts.

Oh, we remember the classics.  We Want Some Pussy, Me So Horny, The F**k Shop, the X-rated version of Do-Wah-Diddy, and the comeback album Banned in the USA and its sensitive lyrical tribute to Florida Governor Bob Martinez (and by "sensitive", I mean the song was called F**k Martinez), but why no love for Hoochie Mama?

Note to self: Add five more songs to the list of things that need a little work before the nine billion names of God are fully enumerated.

Our segue into Dirty Nursery Rhymes aside, there was a sequel to We Want Some Pussy (creatively named "We Want Some Pussy II") on Back At Your Ass For The Nine-4 (which actually came out in 1993).  I've found a few tracks from the album on YouTube, but not the sequel.  Same backbeat, but even filthier lyrics.

"I took control of every situation,
And simple conversation led to fornication,
'Cos bitches will be bitches even when I'm dead,
So baby, baby, please, just gimme dat head!"
  - The only verse of the track that's PG-13 rated.

A week's karma to anyone who can find it on YouTube.  I will never think of a Tonka Toy the same way again.
