yes they took out or masked the very identifiable lennon and mccartney flavor, but that might be partially explainable with the nostalgic touches they added which is my least favorite thing about the song but the vocals are very pure

Hello Charlie and folks.

Contrary to what that confident lady in the sound bite said, it takes more than lips to whistle. The tongue and various other parts (depending on the method) of one's anatomy are required.

WR:

↳ Charlie @5:28
I'm not able to be very helpful but I just don't want others to go through what I went through. I tried to follow the lips only method and had many years of inferior feelings to overcome and never really have developed a proper whistle. Don't worry about me, I finally found a way to get by. But just putting it out there in case someone is going through was I was.

"You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? It's more complicated than it looks, but I know you can do it. Ok, press the tip of your tongue against the inside of your bottom teeth and kind of let it push up in back. Now tense your jaw, and pull your cheeks in, like you're making duckface on Insta. Now purse your lips and force air out so it vibrates the gap between your lips… ok, that's a good start, now try it again. Steve? Steve?" - To Have and Have Not, the Misdirector's Cut
