Music an Ice Cream Van Plays

This is really a classic piece of music! Often heard on a warm Sunday afternoon. Often slightly out of tune and distrorted by the doppler effect as the driver hurtles round the neighbourhood. I just wish I'd known that my parents were lying when they said that the oke only played the music when he'd run out of ice cream!

thanks for that semi

brought back the coolest memory of riding around on the front seat of the van with simon, the kindest old african man who patrolled out neighbourhood for greedy kids. selborne specials; fudgesicles and eskimo pies... i was only around 3 or 4 at the time and i'd get to sell with him in the next few streets and operate the hooter before he would deposit me, beaming and sticky, back at home.

i bumped into him again in my teens - big reunion hugs - and a fudgesicle!

i reckon my mom was quite cool and 'liberal' - before she married a doos.

Ice-cream van

My parents would never buy stuff for us from those vans and always said 'That ice-cream man has to pee during the day so he would stop and do it on the side of the road, where do you think he washes his hands?'

Gotta love my folks :)

I scream, You scream

Ja - gotta love them. Where would the oke wash his hands - its actually a good question!
