Sandwich/ice cream van jingles

[Chris S]

I work in Coventry and my local sandwich van plays "I'm forever blowing bubbles" as it's jingle, presumably the owner is a West Ham fan.
I also frequent the Ladypool Road area of Birmingham. I'm sure the local ice cream van there is playing "Frigging in the rigging"!

Argh sore subject. The sandwich man around here has just got a new van I think. The horn is ridiculously loud and he now plays it three times instead of once lol. Its the standard dukes of hazzard airhorn style.

There's a guy from the shop FMB in Leicester that comes on the Critical Mass with those airhorns on a Bicycle, now that's cool.

New M+S van here plays the test cricket theme tune. Its impossible not to dance around when you hear it.

Greensleeves used to be the old classic ice cream van jingle when I were a lad

Frigging in the rigging that's not a great tune to associate with ice cream but it would put a smile on my face. Maybe you should suggest something by the specials?

How about that great old MC5 classic: Kick Out The Jams Motherf*****s

Am I missing something here?? At the risk of looking daft.......M+S = Marks and Spencer and why would they have a van playing a jingle?

I'm sure it was in Sheffield that I saw a sandwich van playing the Batman theme but the word Batman was replaced by Bapman!

 

[Over The Hill]

Our local van plays the theme to The Third Man (on jingly bells not a Zither)

You think you're missing something? I wasn't even aware that sandwich vans were a thing! Never seen one around here, I'm actually kind of jealous.

The jingle on the local ice-cream van broke a few years back. She's just honked the horn ever since!

 

[beanzontoast]

Surely the best one is:

Dingly-dingle-de-ding-de-ding
De-ding-de-ding-de-ding
Ding.

How can anyone argue with that?

They play that one to let you know they've sold out.

We don't have any ice cream vans around here.

No you're not missing anything, the one in Sheffield was the first and last one I've seen. I don't think sandwich vans go round the streets like ice cream vans do, I think they mostly go round industrial estates at lunchtime.

That's the best thing to tell kids-some of em even believe it.
