Did you know the ice cream truck jingle we know has racist ties to it? It does because of parody versions of the 19th-century tune. Good Humor no longer wants ice cream to be associated with that song anymore.
Therefore, they reached out to Wu Tang Clan’s RZA, and asked him to come up with a new track for them and all ice cream trucks. How could he say no to that? Especially since they offered him a lifetime supply of their ice cream for free. They didn’t. But it would sweeten, literally, the deal for me.
Anyways, Good Humor and RZA are making their version free forever to all of the ice cream trucks in the world. All they ask is that they stop playing Turkey in the Straw, and use their modern melody instead.
I prefer it to the original. What about you?
BTW Am I the only one who wants to know why they went to RZA instead of Ice-T, Ice Cube, or Vanilla Ice? Not that I don’t like what he did. It just seems like one of the Ices go better with ice cream.
To hear RZA’s Good Humor jingle, then
