This was played many times in my life growing up. I miss my youth quite a bit. My sister used to run out and get treats for her and I. I had a fun life growing up. I did some audio edits to make it sound precisely like the ice cream truck I heard growing up. My earliest memories of this were from the age of 4 or 5 years old. ☺☺ You'll even get the sensation that it sounds like an outdoor recording. I hope you enjoy, and if you lived this in your childhood, comment below about your experiences. ☺
Note: this tune has innocent roots. There should be no room for confusion there. Please keep your comments respectful, and if you need to, pretend you're writing your comment in front of an audience of 300 school kids. Thank you. I hope you find peace and joy in every day. Look for it. :) It's there.
*IMPORTANT: READ THIS PART IF YOU'RE OVER 18, THANK YOU* Here is a link to a Wikipedia article that discusses a very sensitive topic surrounding the application of this tune to ice cream trucks. en.m.wikipedia... While this is a sad truth, don't let it rob you of your fond memories of this song as a child. Remember all of the ice cream. Remember the happy times. Shout-out to ‪@davidabremner‬ for explaining the history more clearly. I also apologize to anybody that I've caused offense to - I know I have defensive tendencies about my childhood, mainly because I don't want to taint my cherished memories. THAT BEING SAID, I expect the comment section to remain on topic of getting ice cream from a truck as a child. So, if you wish to acknowledge awareness of this, a simple "acknowledgement appreciated" comment will suffice. Thank you for helping build happy conversation in the comments. 🙂

This is a temporarily pinned comment. I'd like to take the time to acknowledge that this video will be reaching 1,000 comments very soon. Simultaneously, and by great coincidence, this video is also closing in on 1 million views. When I opened this channel in 2007, I never expected anything I uploaded to amount to anything. If you have read this far, I encourage you to look through the multitude of discussions that have taken place here. People speaking of childhood experiences, ice cream stories, hearing this song out of context in rather comical situations at times, discussions of other uses this tune has seen, and much more. You can freely browse without the concern that something highly controversial will pop up, because I have been tediously keeping this comment section pure. Why? I feel this comment section ought to represent the sanctity that so many of us felt as children. We were safe, many of us were loved, and many of us loved hearing this tune play on that beloved white truck that would roll down our street in the summertime. This comment section serves as an escape from the woes and worries of our adult lives. Here, you can reminisce and share all of your unique experiences. We can learn from each other. If you wish to participate in any of the discussions below, please use proper language that you would be happy to hear a toddler mimicking. Let's all be youthful and jolly! If you really want to get into character, definitely go grab a pint of your favorite ice cream flavor, dig into it, and then start typing. You will love it, I'm sure. Once again, thank you to everybody that has participated in making this video more relevant than I would have ever imagined it being. It means a lot. Now, eat some ice cream and tell me what flavor it is! Yum yum. 😋🍦

[@KindCreature1]

I had an ice cream truck in the early 1990's, and had the unique good fortune to have a friend who could play the keyboard like Liberace (to my untrained ears), and he came up with a number of delightful tunes that were not so repetitious as the traditional 'turkey in the straw'. Thank you for posting.

[@Allen1350]

That's a really cool story, and I appreciate you sharing it! I'm glad to have had this video available for you. Thank you!

[@deltablueprint3186]

That's so strange, I've never heard of "Turkey in the Straw" before. When I was a kid in 3rd Grade we learned to sing it as "Do Your Ears Hang Low?" and the music sheets had a picture of a Bunny Rabbit with long, floppy ears.... It went like this: Do your Ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro, can you tie 'em in a knot, can you tie 'em in a bow, can you throw them over your shoulder like a continental soldier, so tell me lil' bunny Do your Ears Hang Low? We didn't find anything racist or offensive about that song, it was light hearted and funny, and we couldn't help but giggle while we sang the song.

[@Allen1350]

Actually, it's amazing to me that I wasn't familiar with Do Your Ears Hang Low? I was class of '09 and I remember my peers having a song with a similar title but it DEFINITELY isn't for kids (I've blocked the song name from even being mentioned). It appears there was a confusion and I thought others were referring to the misleading song title. As of writing this, I'm going to be modifying my filter a bit so others can talk about Do Your Ears Hang Low? since I've found strictly innocent connotations to that song. Thank you for writing out the lyrics! It's proof that I do read any and all comments! 😃 So, do my ears hang low? Possibly, if I'm actually Dumbo the elephant in disguise. 😂

[@dragonnx2843]

Sorry if I come off condescending in this but turkey in the straw was never racist as the original tune and lyrics were codified in the 1800s it just so happened to have a racist version in the 30s and 40s that most don't know about some videos just say it was originally racist for clicks and views

[@voodoobill]

I grew up in the 70’s and remember my friend Frankie singing a version of “Do your ears hang low?” That was PG but maybe not G rated.

[@cooleslaw]

Nice. I know no one's probably going to read this but: I've only gotten ice cream from an ice cream truck once but I enjoyed it; not just in the sense that the ice cream was good, but in the emotions I was able to share by being there with family as well. It wasn't the same as simply eating ice cream in a bowl sitting at a desk alone as I was used to countless times prior. I was able to enjoy and savour the experience outside while taking in the beautiful scenery and happily chatting with family. This video was able to take me back to 2016 when that took place and now I've been basking in that memory and others I had back then for 20 minutes. God, life was simpler when I was only 10 years old. I'm sure I'll think about today the same way sooner or later as I get older and enter post-secondary education etc. so I guess I should just be mindful and take in my life with the same state of mind: when I think I'm overexerting myself now, it's nothing to how I'll be in the future, but by enjoying myself and trying new things as I go along, I'll give myself opportunities to bask in those happy memories when I'm feeling down. I think I'll also be able to realize that while things might be bad, they'll improve sooner or later and I'll get back to trying new things and being adventurous as I once had. I didn't know I'd have such deep thought-provoking thoughts over an ice cream truck song, but I guess nostalgia is a powerful emotion. As for your video, I thank you for making it and I wish only the best for you. Cheers. EDIT: 2020/06/17 Haha, lol I just spotted an ice cream truck outside and I told my mom who promptly bought some cones for us and my dad. Funny coincidence that this happened only 3 days after I posted that comment.

[@Allen1350]

Actually, this is a belated reply, and I do apologize, but somehow, your comment got caught up in my filtration system! I'm surprised, honestly. I've whitelisted your comment, however, so I hope some others will take note of your amazing story. Nostalgia IS a powerful emotion, yes. I agree.

Honestly, in an alternate reality, I really wish I'd heard The Entertainer for the ice cream jingle, growing up. I've heard it on KZbin, and yeah, I can see why that would be exciting to hear for an ice cream truck. We savor the moment... or in our case, savor the flavor. :D VANILLA ALL THE WAY THOUGH! Yeah!

I'm glad you got some great memories of your childhood, and this tune helped recall some of those special moments. Often times, as adults, we begin to forget just how much fun we had at one point. That's when true misery sets in, when you fail to recall the joy, or you just don't bother to look for joy anymore. It's there, but sometimes, it's harder to find. I hope kids of today will be commenting on this video 5 years from now, telling me how they're "old" (and I'll be in my mid 30s by then) and "they remember the old days."

I'm so joyful that you've shared this experience. I'm the younger of two children from mom. I loved my older sister so much for all of the joy she would bring me. She is 11 years older than me.

I remember hearing this one, The Entertainer, and Pop Goes the Weasel the most often on the ice cream trucks in ny neighborhood. I did occasionally hear other songs (including some songs from TV or movies), but I can't remember exactly what at the moment. I do remember hearing Christmas carols from the ice cream truck during the holidays.

I was a kid long before Sponge Bob and the ice cream truck that came around my block just had bells, no pa system at all. Later, when I was in my early 30s there was an ice cream truck company that served my neighborhood in Brooklyn and I guess it was owned by immigrants cause the tune they used to play from their pa system was "Send in the Clowns!" About one of the most depressing songs from the 70s. I'm thinking that the person who chose it had no idea what the words of the song were or its cultural context and just saw "Clowns" in the title!

[@Allen1350]

Ohhhhhhhh my gosh! What a crazy experience! I know that song, by the way! It's a sad sounding song, for sure. Ms. Collins has a beautiful voice though, I think. Just my two cents. :) It sounds like your theory could line up with what happened! "Oo clowns, sending them in? Sounds like fun! Perfect for an ice cream truck!" To be fair, though, English is a very confusing language to learn, if it's not your native language. :O Speaking of! There's a local Chinese restaurant that I support from time to time, and she saw a sign for a "political party," and she was thinking of like music and dancing. "Party" is something that can easily confuse those learning our language! Then we have there, their, and they're. I'm going on a tangent here... Sorry. Haha!

bro I don't get why people are afraid of this? It's so nostalgic and calming and loving. When I was a like 4 years old I used to always save up 5$ to go buy some ice cream at the local ice cream truck that drove down our neighborhood every summer...it was a critical strike in my mind when the truck stop coming around our neighborhood first. I was so miserable and sad at those times because it would be nighttime already and the ice cream truck didn't come around at that time. But now to this day I still wonder every time we visit our old neighborhood..when will I meet the ice cream truck again..?

[@Allen1350]

Amen to that. I moved to "the sticks" as it were when I was 9 years old. It did feel strange, not hearing this tune anymore, as I had when I was in the city. I completely get that! As for why some people are creeped out by it, I think it's the same principle behind how some people get creeped out by clowns. 🤔 When I see clowns, I see adults that want to be silly and childish. I think it's an interesting perspective! I know, though, that many are creeped out by it. Perhaps an event took place in one's life that made them afraid? Perhaps this simple jingle was playing at a bad time in their life. Whatever the case, this song just makes me think of pure nostalgia, joy, and comfort. Also... Ice cream.

There are a number of things, myself, that I rarely (or, better yet, never) experienced as a child that bring me a sense of nostalgia. For example, my parents seldom ever got fast food. Yet, if I see a fast food commercial from the 90s, I feel like I was there a lot or something. It's interesting, for sure. Thanks for commenting. 🙂

i love how this symbol from the early-mid 1900s is just as iconic today

It's pretty awesome, I say! 😃

What’s funny is that I got a bottle of Coca-Cola, a bag of Takis, and a Bomb Pop a few hours ago and they were playing that song when I saw them leaving

It's definitely a popular tune for ice cream. Mmmmm.
