16. Peter, Bjorn and John: 'Young Folks' (2006) - Not since Rolf Harris has whistling in a song proved so lucrative. Swedish trio Peter, Bjorn and John deployed the catchy whistle 'riff' on the start of their underground hit, 'Young Folks', to great effect. Immediately memorable, the song is incredibly difficult to shift from your memory once it takes residence in there and were it not for the catchy tune behind it we might actually hate it. However, with a delightful and charming vocal guest spot from ex-Concretes star Victoria Bergman, this song has shot it's way into everyone's hearts and into this countdown.

- Well deserved Idioteque first place. That song never gets old, truly fantastic and inovative, even almost ten years later. Reckoner - from In Rainbows - deserved to be in the top 10 IMO. And great to see Seven Nation Army on the list, great song.
- Yay for Midlake's Roscoe!! SUCH a great song.
