Title: What tune does your ice cream van play?
Post by: Big Fra on 24 April 2009, 18:50:19
The ice cream van has just pulled into the street and got me thinking.

"What tunes do the vans play?"

My regular van plays the theme from Blue Peter, and on the odd occasion, plays the theme from....

Wait for it....

The good, the bad, and the ugly.

rather marvellous!

Blue Peter. The only other one i remember was when i lived in Boston (Lincs!!!) a few years back & that was Teddy bears picnic!! I never actually saw the van as i lived overlooking the river Witham but heard it all the time.
     Any Bostonians know if they still play it? 8-)

We have one that plays "Popeye the sailor man"

As children we used sing along with it with these words:

I'm Popeye the Sailor Man
I live in a caravan
There's a hole in the middle
Where I do my piddle
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man

Oh yes, we invented edgy comedy.  :P :D ;D ;)
