Another one I thought of while listnening to the _Pulp Fiction_ soundtrack is “If Love Is A Red Dress (Hang Me In Rags)” by Maria McKee.

The main theme from “Peter and the Wolf” is my personal favorite.

I came into this thread specifically to mention that tune. It can be maddening, though, as it’s very hard to _stop_ whistling once you start.

I’m also prone to whistling portions of _The Barber of Seville_ and _The Marriage of Figaro_. Specifically, those portions used in “The Rabbit of Seville”. 😃

Sweet Georgia Brown! (better known as the Harlem Globetrotters theme song)
