The Entertainer
‘Oranges and lemons say the bells of St Clements’ but like it’s from the minaret of a mosque run by the hard of hearing. It’s aggressive.
Whatever it is, he’s out at 9:30pm and I’m convinced he’s not selling anything legal.
look at this guy, never bought an icecream at night. You get the best deals that way!
And the best meth…
What 'chu want?
Just some generic music box song. But the guy drives too fast. I was outside once and manage to catch him to tell him to slow down because I didn’t have time to grab my wallet AND run outside. But he didn’t speak much English and I think he thought I was telling him he was speeding because he seemed to disagree after a short discussion with wits wife. Just wanted him to slow down, maybe stop more often. Figured he would get more sales.
Oh well, since I’m a grown ass man, guess I’ll just get my ice cream at the store. But seriously, where the fun in that?
Get on our bike and chase after him with your money!
The last one I saw here was over a decade ago and it played Ears Hang Low
Ears Hang Low
Someone was raised on Barney, that’s Turkey in the Straw
Match of the Day theme where I live. (It’s probably playing in your head now, sorry).
It was Greensleeves where I grew up, halfway around the world.
Same result: synchronised yells from nearby houses of “Muuuuum… iiiiiice creeeeeeam!”
never apologise for a good song
I think there are mainly two competitors in Norway. The oldest and most recognisable is Isbilen (recently rebranded to Fråst) which plays Norwegian dance no. 2 by Edvard Grieg https://youtu.be/GFQLAVpataA
Diplom-isbilen is a lot newer, however lately i have mostly been hearing them driving around. https://youtu.be/6xXp-11Swcc
Hjem-is no longer operates in Norway, but they used to just ring a bell. I think they’re still around in Sweden under the name Hemglass
O Sole Mio!
Ice cream trucks aren’t a thing here, but the local street washers play Jingle Bells.
Chile?
China. Wuhan, specifically.
“Pop goes the weasel.” Though now that you mention it, I haven’t heard an ice cream truck in a few years.
Greensleeves. Nothing else.
Greensleeves boooooriiing
I fuckn love Greensleeves! Greensleeves is my JAM
Yeah, if you’re riding to Canterbury!
Greensleeves is the only ice cream van song I’ve heard in Australia.
Not an icecream truck, but the fuel delivery truck music that I heard while I was in a study abroad program in Amman, Jordan is fucking terrifying. Not my video but this is it
“ i’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes”
“The entertainer”
“My Darling Clementine” <— This one creeps me out, because it reminds me of that one episode of Star Trek Voyager
Pop Goes the Weasel like this one (not mine)
