Yeah, but the Rolf Harris cover.

Or anything by Gary Glitter.

My wife just pointed out that’s it’s a doubly-odd choice, seeing as that’s almost a martial rallying-song:  
_… in Dixieland I’ll make my stand  
To live and die in Dixie …_

“Streams of Whiskey” by the Pogues.

I might actually buy from a truck that played that, just out of curiosity.

“Comanche” by The Revels, AKA Music to Sodomize Marsellus Wallace By, played on the chimes of course.

For something with vocals, “Jungle Boogie” by Kool & The Gang.

In fact, the whole _Pulp Fiction_ soundtrack would be pretty good.

Ooh, and Tripler’s thread right above this one (“DELIVERANCE! I’m outbound in two days!”) prompts me to add, “Dueling Banjos” from _Deliverance_.

The ice cream truck tooling down the back alleys of my mind is playing:

Aptly: **Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow** Frank Zappa

Infuriatingly: **The Flight of the Bumblebees** Rimsky-Korsakov

Jah Rastafar-I-ce Creamly: **Crazy Baldheads** Bob Marley

Plusly: **Ice Cream Man** _original_ version by John Brim, 1953.

Why, yes, kiddies, of course we accept your parent’s credit cards, but only if you treat the entire neighborhood. Yayyyyyyy!!!

I was thinking some long, pretentious, classic art/rock song like **Awaken** by Yes, or **Nights In White Satin**.

The ice cream truck that rolls around our neighborhood always plays the same Kenny G crap. The same song. Every time. Thousands of times a day. It’s a wonder we haven’t all gone completely bonkers.

“Fuck The World” or “I Stab People” by ICP–who am I kidding? ANY ICP song will do! Who’s goin’ chicken huntin’?

“Dopefiend Boogie” and “Let’s Get Fucked Up” by the Cramps

“Wiggle Stick” by Reverend Horton Heat–which would be a great name for an ice cream novelty treat…

“Devil Went To Jamaica” by David Allan Coe

“Shut The Fuck Up” by Cake

“The Lapdance Is Always Better When The Stripper Is Crying” by Bloodhound Gang

“Voodoo” by Godsmack

Pretty much anything by Lords of Acid, but especially “The Crab Louse” or maybe “Boom, I Fucked Your Boyfriend”

“Closer” by Nine Inch Nails

“Tear You Apart” by She Wants Revenge

“Tequila” by Sublime “What is this shit on my face? My god, what is that awful smell?”

“She Fucking Hates Me” by Puddle of Mudd  
Did I ever mention how much I hate the effin’ ice cream truck and the deedle deedle noise it makes? Damn thing sounds like the biggest, loudest cell phone in the world playing the worst polyphonic MIDI ring tone possible…

Just for posterity, this is a cover of a song done by the Anti Nowhere League circa 1982.

When my husband and I were renovating a house in an area that was half ghetto, half wealthy gay couples there was an old UPS type truck spray painted camo–you know, green, taupe, and black spots–that went around some afternoons. It had ice-cream lables taped unevenly to the side and was driven by a very large, intimidating, scowling black man. It played the confedrate anthem. I assume there was a cooler with a couple of popsicles in the back. Strangest thing.
