in the new orleans area back in the 50′s & 60′s there were 2 ice cream types going around. we had “harmony” ice cream and “red wing” ice cream. one played the “redwing song” and the other played a lullaby song.

In South Sacramento, the ice cream truck had this old worn out version of some ice cream truck theme song, but it was terribly wobbly sounding and gave you the feeling of something evil driving down your street… it also had bars on the windows and wouldn’t stop if any customer looked over the age of 12. Ahhh… good times in Sacto!

Seriously… I think they should play that tune from the old “Fist Full of Dollars” movie.
You know that pocket watch that played the tune and then slowly ran down. When it finally stops, instead of a sweet gunfight, you could just rush the ice cream truck!

That was “Fist Full of Dollars” wasn’t it???
Or was it “For a Few Dollars More”???
Maybe “Two Mules for Sister Sarah”???
Or “Paint Your Wagon”???
Possibly “High Plains Drifter”???

Shit… I need to get my Netflix going again… this is going to drive me crazy!

According to our online scouring, other popular tunes include The Entertainer and Turkey In The Straw. The Mr. Softee trucks (prevalent in NYC) have their own proprietary tune.

As a child I remember thinking the tune was strangely a hymn we sang in church but I can’t remember which one now.

“…Where’s my froggy??”

Tragic shame, that. Only the good die young. =)
