    I would kill for a double chocolate cone, dipped in chocolate, and a banana boat... I haven't heard that song in over 25 years, and all those summer memories from Queens came flooding back.

      Likewise, Rosedale '88-'93. I remember a remixed version of this song that used to play often when it came through, you know which one I'm talking about?

    I could not work on a route through a neighborhood providing ice cream to the residents. The job could be enjoyable - meeting people throughout the neighborhood. Bringing a little happiness to a child - and children at heart would be great.
    It is the 'digital mu-sick" that would DRIVE ME CRAZY!
    By the end of the day - I would be a raving lunatic!

    Better than the atrocious ice cream truck from Hell that prowls our local neighbourhood streets during the summer. It blasts out "It's a Small World After All" at 100 dB along with an assortment of bells and whistles, while clattering along at 1 mph pumping out noxious diesel fumes.

      It's the kind of tune that evokes images of John Wayne Gacy in his nightmarish clown persona.

    That's so cool! Is there also. an Andy Griffith Show ice cream truck jingle that exists? That could be done with chimes. If I heard an ice cream truck playing the Andy Griffith theme, I'd be so excited, I'd buy an ice cream treat from the truck to show my appreciation.

  • @DiscipleGabe
    @DiscipleGabe Před 2 lety +4

    I don’t know how but people are mixing this up with a different ice cream truck tune with racist origins. Mr. Softee is by no means related or similar to the racist VERSION of Turkey In The Straw. At this point either some need hearing aids or they need to double check.

    • @lampkinmedia
      @lampkinmedia Před 20 dny

      Yeah Mr. Softee song was OK. I never heard the one that's controversial. We only had Mr softee trucks come around my neighborhood when I was a kid.

    I lived in New York during the seventies and eighties. As a songwriter, when I feel strongly about something, I express my emotions through song. I had strong emotions about the Mr. Softee song! I wrote the following lyrics to go along with the endless soundtrack:
    Mr. Softee
    This is the tune Mr. Softee plays to try and drive us crazy
    This is the tune Mr. Softee plays to try and drive us crazy
    Over, over, all day long
    All night too, the same old song!
    This is the tune Mr. Softee plays to try and drive us crazy
    This is the tune Mr. Softee plays to try and drive us crazy
    C-R-A-Z-Y, oh why?
    Mister Softee!

    I wish I had an Ice Cream Truck, if only so I could dress up as Needles Kane -- put a flaming clown head on top, and deliver Ice Cream from August up till Halloween.
    I'd end up being chased by Sony and Mr. Softee's lawyer teams, but what a way to go.

    One just cameby the neighborhood and its 45° outside. That damned tune!! To hear it a few minutes is torture. My previous address, a end of rowhome, it would be parked alongside my home 20 mins, with the same repetitive tune. I had jobs with shift work and be sleeping, later years my mom homebound and demented, would wake her when I got her ti sleep so I could catch up on missing sleep only to have that damned tune alongside my home. Hey Mr. Softie- people in residential areas have various hours of jobs, others its having young children napping only to be woken by you guys. Its a different world than in the 1960s. Outdated way to sell whatever that concoction of simulating icecream! Go away and stay away!!

      I know what you mean, but that is a different song, based on some old Minstrel songs, but Mr. Softee didn't use that. They made their own song for their commercial.
