Question: It sounds better in my head, I swear

EarwigFilter: Identify what I'm whistling here because it's in my head and I'm going insane.

Male singing? Like a Rufus Wainwrightesque voice? No idea about any of the words. May be religious, probably isn't.

This is what happens when you have Rhapsody and download 4 GB of music you've never heard of in two months. Hell, this is probably from a TV show.

Ignore my horrible whistling and please assist!

My guess is "Lolita" by Elefant.

The part you're whistling sounds like the verse.

Okay, that's not it, but that's damn cool and I downloaded their albums now.

Meh. I may rerecord with MIDI or something...

Sounds remotely like a christmas carol.

I also thought it sounded like a christmas carol and I had some weird feeling that one of the words at the end of it was "faithful" but it didn't help me answer your question much.

similar to "Carol of the Bells" sorta.

Sounds vaguely like Greensleeves/What Child Is This (an Xmas carol)

No, I meant "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", not Greensleeves.

Parts of what you've whistled sounds a little like the theme music for Suspiria, as performed by Goblin. (Direct link to a partial mp3 sample here.) But the match is quite imperfect, and I don't really think this is the tune you're looking for. Unless you're a really bad whistler ... ;)

It's most reminescent of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," but not exact.

Man, now I really think I'm insane...

Thanks, but I just appear to be insane. Although Christmas Carol doesn't sound entirely unreasonable...

First seven bars sound like the theme from the X-Files! Then, yeah, then something Christmassy.

Reminds me of Jackson Browne's "Lawyers In Love".

sounds like the chorus to "My baby takes the morning train" by shelia E.

Heh, cosmicpluto, I'm virtually certain, you meant Sheena Easton - but if Shiela E. did in fact cover that song, I need it on my ipod immediately.

sheena easton, shelia E.....In my fevered mind, they're really the same woman. (you're right....it is Sheena Easton. But I so wanted it to be Shelia E.
