‘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.
That’s not a thing here. Ice cream vans do not exist.
There are three.
One plays “Brave Bells of Scotland” with the word “HELLO-O” yelled by a distorted female voice every so often.
One plays chiptune Christmas Carols all year round.
One plays a medley of old songs heavily featuring “Turkey in the Straw”.
“HELLO-O”
Christ that should be illlegal
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.
Almost always Musicbox dancer for Cape Town, South Africa.
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
O Sole Mio!
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
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
“Pop goes the weasel.” Though now that you mention it, I haven’t heard an ice cream truck in a few years.
Ice cream trucks aren’t a thing here, but the local street washers play Jingle Bells.
Chile?
China. Wuhan, specifically.
Greensleeves. Nothing else.
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
