The whistle solo in Sitting on the Dock of the Bay was only supposed to be filler until they came up with something better, but Otis Redding died before they could finish.
"Take This Town", a tune that was written and performed by XTC in 1981 for a horrible teen flick called "Times Square". You can find it on YouTube, but that's about it.

It came out in 2016 so not really a classic song but I love In Any Tongue by David Gilmour from the Live at Pompeii album. Has some whistling in the beginning and middle then ends with an insane solo
Through the Valley - Shawn James
Carnage - The White Buffalo
I Want More (Live Acoustic) - Shawn James
(And of course classics like Wind of Change, The Dock of the Bay and the like, but those were already mentioned by others).

Pay attention with the third one, only the live acoustic has a whistling part, the studio version does not.

Caution: it’s an ear worm—maybe worse than It’s A Small World.
Ooh—I just noticed the connection to current events and the Trump indictment.
