You might recognize “Young Folks” as “that whistling song” from a TV commercial for Budweiser, the self-proclaimed king of American beers. It’s performed by Peter Bjorn And John, the kings of Swedish indie-pop. It also features the lovely voice of songstress Victoria Bergsman (of The Concretes). She’s Swedish, too, but her vocals here somehow remind me of a disaffected ‘60s French-pop chanteuse.
And then there’s the whistling. For our money, it’s the most infectious whistling on record since “Dock of the Bay” by Otis Redding.
If that’s not enough to convince you, surely you can’t resist a band with the initials PB&J, can you?
