Who doesn’t love the ice cream man? Even in December, he could send kids scrambling into the house for loose change. A while back, we talked briefly about the disappearance of the ice cream man and reflected on the music he’d play from that megaphone attached to the roof of his truck full of frozen treats.
TODAY’S PRIZE: That iconic ice cream man music can now be yours, thanks to Michael Hurst’s “Songs for Ice Cream Trucks” CD. The disk of ice cream man tunes contains 13 tracks, including classics like “The Popsicle Parade,” “The Moose Track Shake,” and “Where Do Ice Cream Trucks Go in the Winter?”
We listened to a few samples from this CD (you can too at the link above) and liked it so much, we bought one to give away during the 12 Days of Ice Cream to one commenter chosen at random from this post.
Here’s a video about Michael’s CD when he appeared on The Today Show.

The music of the ice cream truck is “The Sound of Summer”! It gives you a good feeling, like being a kid again! I LOVE IT!!!
Songs in the key of ice.
Sweet tinkling tunes for Sweet Treats!!
I always love ice cream truck music
This is really cool. Who would have thought to put these tunes on a CD. Unbelievable!
When I was little I would rock in my rocking chair. Mom and Dad said when I heard the music from the ice cream truck getting closer I would rock faster and faster. Fortunately, since we spend a lot of time at the beach, the kids still get to see and hear the ice cream truck. Unfortunately, the ice cream isn’t as good as yours.
Whatever flavor suits your fancy, enjoy Turkey Hill favorites, on this holiday season. We do!
I still love hearing the ice cream truck music in the summer! Even though it is only once a week in our area–it still means summer to me.
The sound of an ice cream comming down the street will stay with me forever .Even if the song changes ,then I will have 2 songs that are music to my ears
Unfortunately on campus here at Ithaca College we have to pay for our internet, so of course as a poor college kid I buy the cheapest option, but this means super slow dowloads, uploads and page navigating. I clicked on the youtube play button and it took 3 minutes just to load 2 seconds of the song clip! Being the ice cream fanatic I am, I actually waited for the whole thing to load…3 hours and 47 minutes just for 2 minutes and 41 seconds of music….Lucky for me I had a bowl of ice cream while I was waiting, and caught up on my journal blogging, and played a few “catch the cow games”. As for commenting on the tunes…they are pretty catchy…what I would LOVE to see made into and “ice cream remake” is the song “Ice Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice. But instead the song should say “Ice Cream Baby” Can you imagine how entertaining the music video would be? Turkey hill could make it amazing and maybe have the cow shown singing it, wearing some bling and cool clothes as he raps. And yes, I too do wonder where the ice cream man has gone. Does he now know he would make millions driving around college dorm living?!
in season we have a truck, blue bunny i think, which plays a piece of a classical tune.
When you hear the music you always know when the ice cream truck is around the corner! When you were a kid….until now. This cd sounds like it would be fun!
