I just started whistling this tune at work yesterday, and I asked my co-worker what it was from... It seems like it is from a TV show, but neither of us can figure it out...
this is the link to the wave file.

It's "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg, who composed it for the play Peer Gynt. It's such a great piece of music. Here's the link to one version of it, perfomed by the Halle Orchestra:

This is great! Has it been used in any TV shows?

I'm sure it has been, although it might be difficult to pinpoint exactly which TV shows have used it. It's just one of those orchestral pieces that is frequently used for dramatic effect in TV programs, commercials, and movies. The first time I remember hearing it at all was in the Fritz Lang movie M; the serial killer in the film whistles it. Plus, it's been covered or sampled by many musicians/bands.
