It’s one of their recent ads for their Frostys. It’s the cartoon Wendy talking about their new Frostys while what sounds like a rock version of “Turkey in the Straw” (if that’s what it is) plays. All my Google attempts come up with everything but that particular commercial. Anyone? ---

Yes, Turkey in the Straw, aka Old Zip Coon, is the traditional tune used on ice cream trucks. That’s the connection. Give YouTube some time. I’m sure it will get posted there eventually. ---

No whoosh. I’ve seen the ad. It’s for the new Frosty shakes. I believe Wendy makes a reference to ice cream, hence the music. ---

Missed edit window. …They fired the agency that came up with the guys in Wendy wigs. No commercial has sold burgers since Dave passed on. And they had the famous “Where’s the beef?” commercial. If it’s just the music genre you want try: [http://www.songsforicecreamtrucks.com/](http://www.songsforicecreamtrucks.com/) ---

I don’t have any video-recording thingys, but [here’s](http://www.tindeck.com/audio/my/tyab/wfs) a sound file. I think this only airs during kids’ shows- this was recorded off Nickelodeon. ---
