Never have I seen a musical movement guarded with such fierce purism, barring DC SxE circa 1983. Guessing this is a response of sorts to all the recent remixed ice cream truck music CD's that seem to be clogging the WFMU library's new bin lately:
From: **** ice cream <*****@sbcglobal.net>
To: Brian Turner <[email protected]>
Subject: ice cream music
your web sight sucks everytime i go online to find new music to download for my ice cream trucks all i get is your stupid sight with the same old shitty songs!!!! no matter what i type into a search all i get is your sight back or links from another sight back to yours this is getting old real quick!!!!!!!!!!! no matter what you type in if it has the words ice cream and music i get your sight what the hell . even when i went to ask .com to try to get new music all i get is this same dam sight!! it would be different if you had more real music downloads instead of the scratchey crap you have that cant even be used because of the bad noise in the background etc. we need a real ice cream truck music sight not the crap you are putting all over the web and pissing off all the real ice cream truck owners get a life and some real music!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Speaking of the DC comparison, perhaps this is the same guy who was getting verbally reamed by an onstage Ian MacKaye some years ago? (MP3)
Seems like the ONLY ice cream truck music I hear in my region is "Music Box Dancer," which was excessively overplayed in the '70s; why now?

I saw some pimped out Mr. Softee truck on Myrtle Ave yesterday. Had the 24's and some low profile tires, buzzbomb exhaust, and monitors in the back of the headrests! Unfortunately, it was mobile at the time, so I couldnt hear what jingle they we kickin, but from the outside looks of this thing, it was probably some dope assed sound system....

oh that's beautiful. you better take down the entire site...by the amount of exclamation points this guy is using, he definetly means business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you would think that if he is an ice cream man looking for jingles on-line, he would know of an industry repository of ice cream truck jingles.

I didn't know ice-cream men were capable of being so angry! There's another childhood idyll shattered....

He must be referring to:
Bust a Gut
Ice Cream Truck
#2 and 3 on the Hot Google 100 Hit Parade for the search "ice cream music" (no quotes). June 2005, June 2006, June 2007, do I detect a pattern?
I hear the ice cream truck coming!!!

If this guy is using google he could try adding either -wfmu or -inurl:wfmu or
-intitle:wfmu . Don't use all at once though. This should bring up the vaunted 'everybody else's ice cream music.' There are a number of books about how to do advanced searching on google.

Fuckin' A, all we get here in Crooklyn is that damned "Pop goes the weasel" over and over and over and over... Guy should be happy there's _anything_ else besides that available.

Ice Cream. If you're not now, you never were. Not even when you were five.

The angry ice cream man.
I feel a song coming on...Uh does anybody know who owns the rights to "Da da da da duddy dud, da duddy dud, da duddy dum." Shouldn't be too hard to write lyrics for that.
"I'm an angry ice cream man
I hate the kids. I hate this van.
I'm an angry ice cream man,
so here's your F@#$in' Bomb Pop.
I roll around at three p.m.
I'm more pissed off than Eminem.
Sell the bastards lots of s#12,
then light a f@#$'n fatty.
I thought this gig would be just fine,
as I ripped the doors from my Econoline
Now I wanna break some spine,
and run over someone's dog."
Hmm. I may have a hit on my hands.

Even I have hired an Ice Cream Van because ice cream and the music inside the truck reminds the people of their childhood and they completely enjoy it and moreover, it's one of the best idea to become a famous entrepreneur.
