Whistle Stop - Roger Miller

 [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxnvxtYfsd4]


Here's another of Miller's tunes from the Disney's Robin Hood. The tune is used during the opening credits and is referenced back to several times through the film. The melody recently became popular again with the "Hamster Dance", but I refuse to post that. This is probably one of my favorite pieces of Disney music, and it's so simple.


It's become one of my favorite past times to walk around and whistle it in stores and at work to see who else knows the tune. I can often hear people in the next row over in a store whistle after I pass them, whistling it myself. It's really infectious, as most good music is.
