Whistle while you work! (Thank God for the movie which brought us this song...I can't tell you how many times I've used it in the past when my kids were little to encourage them to help clean up their toys, lol.)
According to Wikipedia, "Whistle While You Work" is a song with music written by Frank Churchill and lyrics written by Larry Morey for the 1937 animated Disney movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It was performed in the movie, at least unofficially, by voice actress Adriana Caselotti. It also is featured in the 1979 stage adaption of the 1937 animated musical movie."

Just like memories of my kids' whistles do...
My are super whistlers, and when I hear one of them whistling happily in the distance or whatever, it definitely makes me happy!
Whistling brings up some fun memories for me. When all my kids were little, it was so cute watching them try to whistle, and then learn to whistle. We got so excited!
My father is fantastic at that super-loud whistle you can make with 2 fingers in your mouth while blowing. It makes such a shrieking sound that the whole room -- or store -- or parking lot -- or Disneyland -- takes notice, that's for sure.

He likes doing it at the most unexpected times. He has surprised plenty a calm person, lol.
