Whistling Song Fest.Day#2.Song#1 This song has some great whistling from the lips of Scorpions frontman Klaus Meine, who whistles the intro to this power ballad. The song was inspired by the Scorpions’ visit to Russia in the waning days of the Soviet Union. Wind of Change opens with a clean guitar intro played by Matthias Jabs, which is played alongside Klaus Meines famous whistle. The songs guitar solo is played by Rudolf Schenker. Wind of Change is a power ballad written by Klaus Meine, vocalist of German rock band Scorpions. It appeared on their 1990 album Crazy World, but did not become a worldwide hit single until 1991—just after the failed coup that collapsed the Soviet Communist party—when it topped the charts in Germany and across Europe and hit No. 4 in the United States and No. 2 in the United Kingdom. It later appeared on the bands 1995 live album Live Bites, their 2000 album with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Moment of Glory, and on their 2001 unplugged album Acoustica. Worldwide, the single has sold millions of copies, making it one of the best selling singles of all time; a common number given is 14 million copies sold. It holds the record for the best-selling single by a German artist. Enjoy the song and the whistling
