"Whistle While You Twurk" is the debut single by American hip hop group Ying Yang Twins. It was released on March 12, 2000[1] as the lead single from their debut studio album Thug Walkin' (2000).[2] Produced by Mr. Collipark, the song contains an interpolation of the song "Whistle While You Work" from the 1937 film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.[3] There are two remixes of the song: the "ColliPark Remix", and the "E.A. Mix", which features DJ Kizzy Rock and Mr. Ball.

The song was a hit in the early 2000's and was played on urban and pop radio stations. Most notably, it also popularized the dance of twerking.[4]
