The original had nothing to do with watermelon and was just called turkey in the straw. A later addition by several artists added the content about blacks and watermelon.
Styxhexenhammer666 hmmmm so what just the fact that this version was even popular is outrageous. ..you can not be seriously in denial right now . Btw this doesn't make black people "go away" we've been on this planet MILLIONS of years before white people in FACT ...WE MADE WHITE PEOPLE .. LITERALLY .. ya came from AFRICA ....
"Do yo dicc hang low, do it wobble to the flo', do it feel really good when you stick it in a hoe, could you throw it over your shoulder, hold it like a raido, do yo dicc hang low?"
The song was originally “Turkey in the Straw” but was adapted to the unfortunate version talked about here. During the Jim Crow era virtually any song could be retrofitted to have racist lyrics.
@@amystery119 No it wasnt not at all even listening to the Lyrics of turkey in the straw theres no racist undertones no nothing dont ever lie on turkey in the straw like that again
@@ebetbanks778 there is lots of versions. The first version I heard was actually "do your boobs hang low" bc we'd sing that on the bus when we saw old ladies. Hahaha
Guess what. In society people exchange currency for goods! Children can't drive to buisnesses so the buisness must come to them! Isn't that crazy how markets work? I hope you read that in a voice as patronising as intended
I will admit that where i am from, racism isnt predominant but it does not mean that i agree of it in any form. I grew up fucking loving that song only to know that i am being mocked.
Yo, I hate to do this but that song is a racist parody of Turkey in the Straw. (czcams.com/video/VsnZxfkkoKQ/video.html) and when the ice cream music boxes were produced (namely the Omni 2 by Nichols Electronics) they called the tune by its original name. Source: thehustle.co/the-company-that-has-a-monopoly-on-ice-cream-truck-music/? The source is long-winded asf, just scroll until you see the big orange pic of the tracklist
Prior to 1916, this tune was used for a song called "The Turkey and the Straw" which predates the 1900's and was brought to America by the Scott's Irish from overseas. If this is true, then the notion that our ice cream trucks are perpetuating racism by playing this tune is not an accurate statement.
It's kind of sad almost, this beautiful tune being used in a racist recording. But I guess that's history, and as long as we don't remember it for this song, we can still enjoy it
You should read a really good npr article about this that explains exactly the connection between this song and its racist past and ice cream. Bottom line is yes, it's extremely racist and has nothing to do with Turkey in the straw
The ice cream trucks played songs from the black-face minstrel shows. And guess which one was the most popular around this time.... I swear y’all can’t take the heat for anything lol
I seen him last summer and he kept trying to show me cp on his phone. When I told him that was sick he started touching himself and calling me a "pretty little "jword"" I tried to just walk away but he kept trying to grab my crotch while talking about how marrying children is natural. What a strange man.
The song actually came out after this was used for an ice cream jingle for those little push carts you'd see on boardwalks. The original jingle came from an old English song called "Turkey in the Straw", and was unrelated to black people. It just so happens that someone then used that jingle for the song they're talking about here. The song even starts with the singer referring to watermelon as "colored man's ice cream", alluding to the use of the jingle. The song was very popular for its time though, unfortunately.
But do you really think when kids go to get their ice cream, they will pick up that tune and somehow become racist? I think the idea of racism is ridiculous, and anybody that goes along with it is an incredibly sensitive baby.

It's "Turkey In The Straw", which is in public domain. All kinds of lyrics have been grafted onto it. The MUSIC isn't derogatory, "racist", or anything else. People look for anything to be offended by. Yes, I ended that sentence with a preposition.
