Ice Cream Truck Song = Racist!

[golfballs]

Recall That Ice Cream Truck Song? We Have Unpleasant News For You : Code Switch : NPR

Probably the last time we'll ever ever that tune again (if ice cream trucks still a thing? I haven't seen one in a while...)

 

[VolsSportsFan]

The only song I remember the ice cream truck playing was Pop Goes the Weasel.

And I don't mean the 3rd Bass song from the early 90s.

 

[kiddiedoc]

There is one that drives around my neighborhood and the local park/playground. It is sketchy as all heck.. won't let my kids go near it.

 

[MG1968]

I think the author is stretching.

 

[UTFanForLife]

I hide my kids when I hear the ice cream truck. Guy that drives it looks like a pedo.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Wow.

 

[james_govols]

I read the lyrics but I don't understand how it's racist?

 

[ruggy1]

Wow I don;t believe this,this is downright trash

 

[The Ron Mexico]

I've always suspected the ice cream man was a racist. Now I have proof.

 

[Grand Vol]

I've always suspected the ice cream man was a racist. Now I have proof.

Not this one, right?

 

[ruggy1]

I read the lyrics but I don't understand how it's racist?

In this day and age words like that are not used anymore.

Just too many humans died so that kind of BS would end.Besides there BLOOD is RED same as yours....

 

[The Ron Mexico]

Not this one, right?

Does he play the song? If so, he hate me.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Please be sarcasm....please.

 

[Dave1967]

I guess you should avoid ordering the chocolate ice cream

I figure it would be like Cheech & Chong's ice cream truck in the movie "Nice Dreams".lol:

Same here. In my area the truck goes too fast for kids to appriach it anyway. I think the driver is either a pedo or scouting houses to rob.

Relax Ruggy!

At least they weren't playing the words!

 

[Crew]

Meh. ....I prefer "Do your ears hang low."


Too many real issues to feign outrage over this.

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Every time I hear the ice cream truck coming around work, I think of Eddie Murphy's Ice Cream Man bit. Still one of the funniest skits ever.

 

[Coug]

The one that comes around this area plays the "Hello" song.

It's only racist if they're playing the lyrics.

Could be worse, the ice cream truck could be driving up the road sounding like this...

That's what I am familar with too.

I remember being in my moms basement during the summer and hearing the ice cream truck two blocks away. I would dart out to chase it down.









Granted I was 23 and stoned out of my head.

JK.
