Ice cream vans - what music does your local one play?

[classic33]

Ah, a thrash metal version!

That'd be being polite.

Our plays the tune Pig Bag as we are all smoggies together. They even serve monkey blood.

If you know, you know. Ha ha 🤣

 

[Bonefish Blues]

When I get my van I will have this on loop, including video.

I've just heard one in the distance. It was playing Yankee Doodle
As I said earlier they choose not to visit our close.

Pretty sure I've heard that on a van somewhere before too.

@lenfield give you a clue Hartlepool residents hung a monkey as they thought it was a spy

Hanged.

Sorry, just something my parents would correct me on back in the day! 😆

TBF it probably hung for a while after it was hanged

Funnily enough we would ask for "Monkey Blood" on our Mr Whippy, as well as "bits" (hundreds & thousands) that's in South Leeds

We dont get vans in our close now. All the young kids have grown up apart from one that strangely I never see and the other one is maybe 14 now.
As an aside I dont think I've ever had one of those Mr Whippy type ice creams.....I much prefer the traditional type.

i think whippy is tasteless poo and would rather go without than fork over hard earned cash for one .

Well, our local one plays The Blue Danube... Or so I thought, as I just saw it driving past playing Yankee Doodle Dandy.

This raises a couple of questions:

Firstly, I am not sure it was the exact same van, but if it was, I take it they can change the tunes/they have more than one?

And secondly, maybe they are on this forum and are reading this! 😆

The Ice Cream Van round here plays Swedish Rhapsody, it sounds just like the Polish Numbers station above, a very weird choice

Edit to the above, the tune has now changed to "O Sole Mio" but when it drives past one of the houses on the street behind ours, someones dog very loudly howls in time to it the "Swedish Rhapsody" & it's predecessor, "Daisy Daisy" didn't get the dog joining in!

"Just one Cornetto!
Please give it to me!"

You've already had THREE!!"

The one that comes round our village was playing the match of the day theme tune yesterday.
