and I reply...damn right

I actually can't whistle, I lost my whistle after a newyears eve party a couple of years ago. Odd but true. Just couldn't whistle anymore.
I never hum either. I have a very clear and LOUD voice and instead of a pleasant quiet hum of a tune I have in my head I will sing it loudly. My husband says he loves it when I sing, They say love is blind, I think it must also be deaf. I can easily make our poor rat terriers howl.
I start humming when people look at me strangely because I'm singing out loud. Or when I forget the words and can't make them up. Or when there aren't any words.
My father was a semi-professional singer, and I grew up in a house where music was always in the air. I suppose it has rubbed off. If I'm alone, I'm alone with my music.
I can whistle, but I only ever do it in echoey places, like stairwells and public toilets. It sounds so much better. This is the only justification for multi-storey car parks.
This is totally OT, but I once knew a man who could whistle the Flight of the Bumble Bee note perfect, at the correct speed. He married a Spanish woman fifteen years his junior and lost his whistle on their wedding night. (Also odd but true). They had lots of children though.
If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I'm coming back as a bass guitar in a girl band. It's not just the music, though, I think it's also the thought of fingers sliding up and down my neck.

I whistle all the time sometimes in the supermarket even, gets many strange looks but makes me happy. I wonder why it is that if you do things that show you're content and happy it's frowned upon?
I don't know how to whistle. So far as humming? I don't know how to hum and get it to sound like the song going on in my head.
And while we're spilling secrets, I don't know how to snap my figures. I try but 99.9 percent of the time I get no sound.

I'm 46, so I think it's a hopeless cause, lol

Well, in my case it's because I live in England. The House of Lords is currently debating a bill to outlaw displays of emotion in public places. In my village, if you try to make a joke with the (very sweet) girl in the pharmacy, the smile police jump out from behind the counter and drag you away for a beating.

Yep, but that bill isn't again every emotional display. Just against the ones they don't like, like singing "Come out ye Black and Tans", car-stickers that say "The petrol industry is managed by criminals and the House of Lords covers them" and so on.
And the girl in the pharmacy will wear a full-body veil anyway, soon.
(The above writing is meant to be sarcastic and does in no way imply that the author believes it is supposed to better elsewhere in the world. And now all together: Come out ye Black and Tans.... )
I whistle all the time too, never at home though always at work, we have (insert store name here) radio and the songs are always so up beat that I can't help but whistle along.

Don't worry. You guys are not crazy.
I whistle, sing or hum to relieve stress. Sometimes people catch me talking to myself and thinking I am crazy. (Its very hard to control it until I realized there is no point fearing to be accused of being crazy for everybody have issues.)
I guess many artists had a tendency to like talk alone or act out a memory of an experience that pops out in our mind involuntarily (I sometimes curse or scream when I remember something bad while I am working but not all the time) because we are pretty much conditioned as an introvert usually caused by not being too social or too much use of our imaginative right hemisphere.
Passion is anger and love combined. So if it looks
angry, give it some love!
I whistle all the time at work, generally along with the music I'm listening to, and only when I'm alone in the office (I share it with the operations manager, just off the production floor, and I don't want to drive him nuts with my whistling - the production staff have their radio playing, so generally they don't make too much of my 'noise.' I don't hum because I don't have much vocal range, and I'm not really sure I'm on key - my whistling does stay on-key, and I have a greater range, so I'm not embarrassed to do it.
What's really strange is that, at home, I don't generally whistle, hum or sing - unless I walk out into the kitchen! It's become my own little quirk, as I catch myself constantly, humming or singing a tune only when I'm in the kitchen! I noticed this about 5 years ago, and I can't seem to stop :blink:.
on of my favorite sangs to whistle at work is Yellow Submarine, by the Beatles. I also sing the chorus to that one every now and then.

i whistle, hum, and sing, though not all at the same time!!
my little boy (six) keeps asking me to teach him how to whistle, but it is nearly impossible to teach someone else how to sing, by the time you have finished describing what they need to do, they end up just being able to dribble a bit.he is starting to get a tiny whistle going himself now though.
this year though i am very proud of what i have finally been able to do, my whole life i have wanted to be able to do this thing but until this year i have always failed, couldn't do it, nil points...all that.....but now i can....
now everyone can go cross-eyed, nothing amazing about that i hear you cry (well i heard something anyway) but who can go cross-eyed in one eye while the other eye looks straight ahead?.............that would be me, and if you really want to get that double-take type attention in your life too, with people wondering what the f*** is wrong with you, then you will need to learn this valuable skill also!!!.....great for freaking out your kids!!
I rarely hum or whistle, but sometimes I do both at the same time. Which sounds pretty neat to me, at least, as the one producing the sounds....
I more often play the drums on my knees. Very badly. But not in public, since the time when some wag at a party commented that perhaps I merely liked beating on myself. Cough.
Hmm. Why do I always share these stories in public?

I hum, or wistle or sing alot. I'm not very good at any of them, but I enjoy it so I do it. I don't care what others think either. Often someone will say sonething that will remind me of a song so I will start singing it. I know too many songs. I guess I talk to myself too 'cause my hubby says that the voices in my head are escaping again.
My son learned how to snap when he was 2, but then stopped doing it and no longer remembers how. My bother snaps with his ring finger rather than his middle one. (yes I have a weird family)
I can also cross my eyes and then move just one of them side to side while the other one stays crossed.

I do. I"ve learned many musics because i do alittle bit of keyboard and guitar and plus i downloaded thousands of midi and i always listen to them. Also other songs that i've h eard, they just stick and i memorize them. It's interesting, i can't learn things and i can't speak well maybe i have a learning disability with words and math but I can memorize melodies and whole songs.
It's fun, i've learned a lot of them by heart and i hum them or whistle them often, even at work.
And not just pieces of it, i do the full songs.
I dont know about you, but it's fun and it inspires me.
For my Poser movie( not fully animated but more like static poses that change sometimes ) one of the scenes i'm going to record the character whisling a whole sng's melody while the orchestra plays in bground.
