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

    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.

        Yes, I was in fact looking for ice cream.

      That’s the one they play in my area in Michigan, I really hate it

      In my hometown they played the entertainer most of the time:

    Whatever it is, he’s out at 9:30pm and I’m convinced he’s not selling anything legal.

    It only plays a tune when it’s run out of ice cream, or at least that’s what my mother told me 😅

    There are three.

    One plays “Brave Bells of Scotland” with the word “HELLO-O” yelled by a distorted female voice every so often.

    One plays chiptune Christmas Carols all year round.

    One plays a medley of old songs heavily featuring “Turkey in the Straw”.

    I had a Nightmare once where I heard a child crying out in the streets. I looked out and it was an Ice-cream-Truck playing screams instead of music.

    I live in a weird ice cream van black hole. The last place we live had them and that was only 5 blocks away (as the crow flies). Every year more families with kids move into the neighborhood and every summer I think the vans will expand their territory to cover us, but 10 years in and it hasn’t happened.
