I caught myself whistling a song today that at first I thought was the song from the movie "Bridge on the River Kwai" but it isn't "The Colonel Bogey March".
The first two notes are, I think, the same notes though.
So then I though it might be the theme to "Hogan's Heros" but that isn't whistled.
The song has a marching song/army kind of feel to it.
It is driving me crazy.
Does anyone have any idea what this tune could be?
And no, it isn't "The Andy Griffith Show" theme song.
(if that worked right <did in preview> there is a whole selection of R.W. in there - bless us all - you have to click on one of the little ones under the main disabled note )
I know exactly what you're talking about....they played it at an NCAA game last night when the officials couldn't agree on a call. It's driving me nuts... I'm picturing an 80's coming-of-age movie with boys marching...ring any bells?
The song I'm thinking of is very, very similar. The first two notes are the same. It might have been revised into a similar tune for another movie that involved marching. It is definately a marching song.
You know, it occurred to me that you might have confused the "Colonel Bogey March" with one of John Philip Sousa's marches. The one which comes most readily to my mind as being similar would be the "Liberty Bell March," which most people would recognize as the theme music to the Monty Python's Flying Circus. At any event, every one of Sousa's 136 marches can be heard at this site in midi form.
I know it isn't the Monty Python song so I guess I'll have to start working my way through the Sousa marches. It very well could be a non-whistled song that was famously whistled or that I've just heard whistled.
I seem to remember a commercial jingle from the 70's that sounded very similar. I thought it was Comet Cleanser, but after several minutes of Googling for it, I gave up.
I suspect that what you are referring to is the 'Bridge over the River Kwai March' which is medleyed with Colonel Bogey (it's the last track) - anyway Boomer you might find it somewhere else in there.
