"There It Go (The Whistle Song)" is a song by American rapper Juelz Santana, released as the second single from his second studio album What the Game's Been Missing!. It is his highest-charting single to date, peaking at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was featured in the film The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift but was not included on the soundtrack. A recognizable aspect of the song is the whistling that occurs during the chorus. The song does not have any melody, only the drums (kicks and claps) and percussions (whistles, shakes and cowbells).
The song first hit Billboard's "Bubbling Under" chart at number 119 on October 7, 2005. The next week, it crossed over to the Hot 100 chart at number 88, rising to number 6 on January 27, 2006.[1] The song showed its staying power by peaking at number 6 on Billboard's Recurrent Hot 100 on March 31, 2006.[2] The New York Times quoted Santana as saying about the song's structure, "I decided to simplify a little bit more. I knew that the whistle would be something that people could come back to – and be distinctive."[3]
