The Whistle Theme Song
The theme song of The Andy Griffith Show is titled “The Fishin’ Hole.” Everett Sloane wrote the song’s lyric version. However, the producers of the show thought that it was a better idea to whistle the tune. Earle Hagen and Herbert Spencer were chosen to perform the theme song.
