our local van has the theme song to "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly". Always raises a smile.

I'd trade that if we could persuade the Ice cream van men to exhange their tapes.actually how does an ice cream van chime work or what does it or,yeah

An ice cream van in my last work neighborhood was a beautifully surreal thing.

Beat up van, almost duct-taped together, surly middle eastern guy driving it, a chiming but really dying version of "Dixie" warbling from the speaker. I mean, this sounded like a music box that was spooling out about the last three turns of life it had left in it.

I wish you all could have seen it. If I could give this board one gift, it might be that.

the ice cream van round our way has this new polyphonic style sound system in it. It drives me up the fuckin' wall having to hear 'when the saints come...' song in all its polyphonic craptastic glory (n)

They don't even play tunes on my van anymore. It runs so regular the locals (especially those buying recreational drugs) are waiting for it just as it arrives.
