The song, 'Whistle' by Flo Rida...is actually about Netball. Yes, netball. Flo Rida loves netball! Well actually umpiring in netball to be exact. You see it's a little known fact that Flo Rida is actually a fully qualified netball umpire and a massive supporter of this sport. Ever since he could rap, he could netball. His best friend in school? A netball. And when he graduated from Florida Tech, he majored in both Musical Theory and Netball with majors in umpiring. Now obviously there's a lot more money in becoming a rapper than there ever will be umpiring netball, but it's good to see that he's remained true to his (netball) roots. And just like 'Right round' (which is another song about netball, namely throwing a netball 'right round') 'whistle' takes a look at the glory of an action packed game of netball from the perspective of an umpire. Only this time Flo Rida is singing about the beauty of training up rookie umpires and the importance of proper whistle blowing technique when calling fouls and starting rounds. He gets so animated when he umpires! 'You! Toe the line!' Take a look at a lyrical extract from 'Whistle' so I can further bash forward my point: Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby Let me know Girl I'm gonna show you how to do it And we start real slow You just put your lips together And you come real close Can you blow my whistle baby, whistle baby Here we go It's a wonderful passage of Flo Rida passing down the secrets to sharp and succinct whistle blows to those new to the umpiring biz so that those on court can hear it. And being such a gentleman, Flo has even offered up his own whistle for demonstration. A student of Flo Rida's. And look at how effective she has become! It's like everywhere I go My whistle ready to blow You see, he's ready the instant a game of netball breaks out, anywhere. That's the sign of a true umpire, one whose ready to officiate the game at the drop of a hat. That's Flo Rida baby, whistle man extraordinaire! Show me your perfect pitch, You got it my banjo Talented with your lips, like you blew out candles He even shows appreciation of the effort put in by his students, passing out compliments to encourage more in depth whistle development. A fit umpire is a good umpire. It's a song about netball umpiring, people. What were you thinking?
