Of course I remember what we refer to in my area as simply "The Ice Cream Man". The vans I have always seen play silly songs, too. Usually something like "Pop Goes the Weasel".

I would have been surprised, too, if I saw it yesterday. It's too late in the season for them in my area. I remember them as far back as my young childhood and they still come in summers.

The comedian Eddie Murphy did a hilarious stand-up routine about chasing down the ice cream truck. In my view, one of the funniest of all time. Anyone wishing to see it can Google that video under "Eddie Murphy Chased Down an Ice Cream Truck". I won't link to it because it contains some R rated language and behavior description, but the routine is nevertheless still cute in many ways.
