You know the one that you can never get out of your head once you hear it? dum dee dum dum dee dum dum dum dee dum-dum dum-dum Anyone know where I could download that? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur! Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album Believe me when I tell you that daily, we have about 10 ice-cream trucks driving through our residential block here in south FL, the land of heat and humidity. They ALL have a different "song" blasting out of their vehicles. We need more clues than your "dum dee dums", LOL. : I really need a MIDI of that ice cream truck song.

Is it anything like this one: ;) "Deedly deedly dee-dee-dee Dee- de dee- de dum dum, Deedly deedly dee-dee-dee Dee- de dee- de dum dum, Deedly deedly dum dum dum dum!" Been hearing that all my life. I could probably notate it musically, but I couldn't get it into the newsreader. ;) Theresa alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful.

My hubby says that they also used to use "Pop goes the Weasel". The only song that came to mind on the first one (dum dee dum, dum dee dum) was.. whenever you see a hearse go by... (Sorry!) Patti >> Is it anything like this one: ;) >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >That particular song is "The Entertainer" by Scott Joplin. No, I'm sorry to contradict you, but it's not. You must have misread my "deedly dums." ;) I'm a musician, and very well-acquainted with that and other Joplin rags. The ice cream truck tune is a very distinct tune, played by ice cream trucks in my town ("Mister Softee"!) since I was a litle kid, and I've never heard it anyplace else-- except-- The tune was heard being played by a rather menacing Mister Softee truck in the movie, "After Hours."

(Aldous Huxley) ROFLMAO....no, have never heard the refrains of "Did you ever think, when a hearse went by, that you might be-e the next to die?.....etc." coming from *any* ice-cream truck around here! Yeah, the "Entertainer", several German tunes (Edelweiss), and also, "Pop Goes the Weasel", as well as a dude whose truck plays "Hava Nagila" (sp?), not to mention another wafting "LaBamba" along our block. All do humongous business from now till about Dec. : >> Is it anything like this one: ;) : >> [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] : claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful. : (Aldous Huxley) > ROFLMAO....no, have never heard the refrains of "Did you ever think, when a > hearse went by, that you might be-e the next to die?.....etc." coming from > *any* ice-cream truck around here!

The ice cream trucks in my old neighborhood in Sunnyvale (California, for the rest of you, though Hopitus knows exactly where that is - we just discovered that we lived about 2 blocks apart from each other!! - but at different times) used to play "It's a Small World".

They ALL have a different "song" blasting out of their vehicles.\ Isn't that the truth! Our regular ice cream man's truck played this unbelievably grating version of "Fur Elise" of all things. Sherry Ours always play "Greensleeves" - does that help?

Its the sound of icecream to me, and always has been. I can't imagine an icecream truck with any other sound, quite frankly, nor can I imagine the icecream from an icecream truck anything other than under-frozen, overcornfloured sickly pap with any resemblence to anything dairy related completley coincidental. And yet when I hear that sound, there's still part of me that wants to race out of the house, flag him down and get a double choc-coated one. If all goes to plan, it should fall off the cone into a melted heap onto the scorching asphelt and be eaten by a neighbour's dog before I get more than two licks, and then I can scream hysterically allt he way home and get far better quality icecream out of the freezer from Mum (although without the cone), but thats what childhood icecream truck memories are all about. Yowie Hmmm, I can't give you more than that because if I had the MIDI, I wouldn't be asking for it. The ice cream trucks here all play the same song, it's very short and repetitive. I've heard it before in Canada too so I didn't think it was an Asian thing. Maybe I'll just have to get a program and compose my own. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr.
