@DRM, We have had the Swedish Rhapsody and also The Liberty Bell (AKA the Monty Python tune) over the years, but now we have a van that comes round and, you know what? I cannot even remember what it plays, I've heard it so often that I it's just occasional background noise. 😊

No imagination from our local ice cream vans, it's " Oh we do like to be beside the seaside " but I suppose as we're a seaside town that's understandable. My ringtone is the Captain Pugwash theme, that would work well as an ice cream van chime

Ice cream is ideal food for people with no teeth; chasing after the van might be difficult, though.

True, it should be pretty suitable - although for some reason you don't often see loads of codgers and biddies piling out of bungalows on their zimmers when they hear the ice cream van roll up.

The Teddy Bears Picnic.
Slightly faster than it should be, but easily picked out none the less. Audible from half a mile away.

I wonder if there is a company that specialises in doing and providing the tunes, I mean, where do they come from and why do they all sound specifically like that anyway?

I've just heard it again... Our local van's current tune is The Blue Danube.
