B.A.P fans are spoiled with whistle songs, as the boys’ 2014 single “Where are you?” also featured some cheerful whistling. The whistled tune of their latest title track “Honeymoon” shows us just how great B.A.P is with every style and genre they decide to go for.

Trouble Maker – “Trouble Maker”

A whistled rendition of the song’s melody is what made this song one of the biggest bops of the past few years. It’s impossible to get the song (and the whistling) out of your head!

Inspired by Tarantino’s famous movie, Brown Eyed Girls were not afraid to use some whistle-like sounds to spice it up a little!
