The “Benny Hill” theme. Wanna see the kiddies running after the truck which is going in figure 8s and circles on peoples’ lawns… Or “Chariots of Fire” theme. ---

Once I actually heard an ice cream truck playing a tinkly version of the theme song from M_A_S_H (“Suicide is Painless”). I have also heard this song (in a bland, easy-listening orchestral version) on the canned-music channel that they pipe into hospital rooms. The association with the television version of M_A_S_H would, in itself, make the song an odd choice for these uses, but the memory of the downbeat and depressing lyrics (as heard in the film version of M_A_S\*H) make it even worse. ---

I want to get an ice cream truck with hydraulics and just play Dr Dre’s The Chronic over and over, while I ride around the neighborhood on three wheels. ---

There’s a local ice cream truck (at least, that’s what I assume it is) that is spraypainted completely red and drives around the neighborhood about once a month playing the theme music from _The Godfather_. Weird. ---

We had an ice cream truck last season that played La Cucaracha in a slow and solemn measure. It sounded _ **wrong** _! How about [Magical Trevor](http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/magical+trevor/), or [Cows With Guns](http://www.theflasharchive.com/f/f-50.htm)? 😃 ---

Just half an hour ago the ice cream truck came by playing La Cucaracha! It’s so wrong for at least two different reasons. ---

A friend of mine has THE CREEPIEST ice cream truck in the world in his neighborhood. It drives around at about 6:00pm all year long (so in the winter it is dark already) and it has a single chime that echos. It sounds like sonar. I tell you, the first time I saw this thing drive by I got the willies something awful. You just are just certain that the driver \*knows \* the difference between a thousand dead babies and a Ferrari. Hint: I am fairly sure he doesn’t have a Ferrari in his garage ---

As long as there weren’t gun toting vigilantes looking for me, I wouldn’t care what the ice cream truck played… 😉 Oh OK! “Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me” from the Rocky Horror soundtrack… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/inappropriate-ice-cream-truck-songs/360833.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/inappropriate-ice-cream-truck-songs/360833.md?page=4)
