What song does your neighborhood ice cream truck play?

[Carson Dyle]

The one that's been going through here the last couple of years plays "It's a Small World". A few years ago we had one that played "Little Brown Jug".

I'm kind of surprised it's still a thing.

Because Amazon?

One drove by the house yesterday, and I honestly could not tell you what it was playing.

Was something different.

 

[shortylickens]

Thunderstruck.

I can't say for sure i've ever seen an ice cream truck. You big city folks have all the cool things

The only ice cream truck in my neighborhood caters to dogs.

 

[Humpy]

I think we're alone now.

Little Brown Jug? Really?? That's a hip ice cream truck. They should follow it up with In The Mood. Haven't heard a truck in awhile, but the last one I remember was Pop Goes The Weasel.

One of my neighbors runs the Luckee Dog K9 Kool Treat truck which is parked in his driveway most of the time. He's got a facebook page but I don't see a website for his business. The first time I saw it I had to laugh but apparently people want dog treats from a truck.

Oh man I remember those, the ones we had were small though, I think it may have even been more like a bike with a freezer. It played some kind of "ding ding" type music, like those crank up toys. I don't actually remember more than that, I was just a little kid.

When I was down south in Sauble Beach they did have an actual ice cream truck that passed along the beach line though.

If dogs know their owners are a block or so away from home... That should be easy money driving around with a dog treat truck with every dog in the neighborhood begging for treats before the truck is in sight.

This wasn't it, but proves (to me) that I wasn't hearing things.

 

[lxskllr]

Ah, this is what I was thinking of...

 

[Carson Dyle]

Same tune, isn't it? Yeah, In the Mood would be good.

Way back in the 70's some kid ran out without looking and was hit and killed by a passing car.
Naturally, over reactive city council banned ALL ice cream trucks never to roam city streets again. Rather than holding the parent responsible for not teaching their kid(s) TO LOOK before crossing the street, the tragedy instead was the fault of the ice cream man.
I still remember the fun realizing the ice cream truck was close at hand.
Playing music more like that of a jack-in-the-box. Not the lame electronic music played today, that is if your city still has the ice cream man.
Bomb pops were our favorite. The better bang for the buck, lasted longer, and tasty too.

Pop Goes the Weasel. I think that's what the truck played where I grew up.

Creamsicles and drumsticks were my favorite.

Actually this though:

Wonder how often that happens, because I have the same story in my town...

In fact, because of that I never saw them for a few decades, then a few years ago we purchased some land on a lake to camp on about an hour away, and we were getting it ready for July 4th festivities. As we are unpacking and basking in our new environment, in the background we hear the faint echoes of an ice cream truck song. We both looked at each other and I said, ahh, we're in a horror movie. The whole thing came off really creepy.

Usually one of these:

• When The Saints Go Marching In
• The Entertainer
• It's A Small World

I've heard others I can't remember right now.

[edit]​

Forgot that I have heard these too:

• Yankee Doodle
• Turkey In The Straw
• Do Your Ears Hang Low?
• Pop Goes The Weasel
• Fur Elise
• Jingle Bells
