Oly oly oxen free-the whistle

[BEN B023]

Since everyone was curious and most have read the books I figured I would do my best to answer it. This is a true story. I did not make this up out of thin air. I hope you enjoy it and i put a shout out to the 405th which is quite evident

Ps- I could not get volume louder with my shitty mic without wind noise, hence why you have to turn volume up for that section.

Well, I always assumed they said Olly Olly Oxen Free instead of whistling it, but the actual thing makes a lot of sense
And what's the name of the song after you whistle?
It's awesome

Edit: Nevermind that, I just noticed it says at the end xP

I'm curious as to why it's only three notes, when the phrase itself is seven syllables. I assumed they just whistled it that way.

Hey, there you go, another 7 reference!
Good job, you've found one more to the countless references


Edit: btw, for the outro song, I think this song would have better fit

What' about that for the Spartan Creed? "Everyone Everyone, all outs free." >_> Makes sense to me, anyway

I think I heard this whistle in Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang. When they enter the cave with all the children in it.

^never seen the movie.


I know in the book it said 7 syllables but then again it would have to be 7 notes? This could be considered 6...I dunno.

To me it just makes sense. Its unique, been passed down, and the origin could line up.

And yes I have that other spartan remix theme but chose not to use it.

I think it is just the three notes, but they drag out over the syllables. If you say (or sing) the phrase you notice that the "oly, oly" carries the first low tone of the whistle, the "oxen" jumps up to the high tone, and the "free" brings it down to the middle.
