    Listening to Zeppelin's "Fool in the Rain," I started wondering about songs that use a ref's whistle in them. The only other one I could think of was GnR's "Paradise City."

    So, SJ Music Gurus, are there others? And what are they?

    At one point in Supertramp's "Logical Song" there was a sound that was awfully close to the ref's whistle in the immortal handheld Coleco Electronic Quarterback:

    G'n'R "Patience" and Otis Redding's "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" jump to mind.

    Never mind, Just noticed you were looking for a ref's whistle. I've got nothing,

    barsuk, both those songs are sweet, though, esp. patience. devastating even. in a good way.

    GnR's Paradise City has the ref whistle during the extended intro.
