Ours plays the 1979 hit Music Box Dancer which is weird because it’s definitely not public domain.

    ‘Oranges and lemons say the bells of St Clements’ but like it’s from the minaret of a mosque run by the hard of hearing. It’s aggressive.

    All the ice cream vans that show up in my area play The Entertainer, idk if it’s just a local thing or if most ice cream vans in the UK play that one though

    At one point, I heard our local ice cream truck playing Wintergatan - Marble Machine. I thought it was cute and kinda refreshing to hear a newer tune like that.

      Greensleeves is the only ice cream van song I’ve heard in Australia.

    I think there are mainly two competitors in Norway. The oldest and most recognisable is Isbilen (recently rebranded to Fråst) which plays Norwegian dance no. 2 by Edvard Grieg https://youtu.be/GFQLAVpataA

    Diplom-isbilen is a lot newer, however lately i have mostly been hearing them driving around. https://youtu.be/6xXp-11Swcc

    Hjem-is no longer operates in Norway, but they used to just ring a bell. I think they’re still around in Sweden under the name Hemglass

    Just some generic music box song. But the guy drives too fast. I was outside once and managed to catch him to tell him to slow down because I didn’t have time to grab my wallet AND run outside. But he didn’t speak much English and I think he thought I was telling him he was speeding because he seemed to disagree after a short discussion with his wife. Just wanted him to slow down, maybe stop more often. Figured he would get more sales.

    Oh well, since I’m a grown ass man, guess I’ll just get my ice cream at the store. But seriously, where is the fun in that?

    “Pop goes the weasel.” Though now that you mention it, I haven’t heard an ice cream truck in a few years.

    Match of the Day theme where I live. (It’s probably playing in your head now, sorry).

    It was Greensleeves where I grew up, halfway around the world.

    Same result: synchronised yells from nearby houses of “Muuuuum… iiiiiice creeeeeeam!”
