There's an ice-cream van crawling up our street and it's playing that infernal "Greensleeves". Drives me nuts! You?

Oh. On repeat that would be a bit much. Thing is, when it's first gotten into mind it's so darn hard to get it out again. Maybe another song can do it...

Hah! That song was playing in the ice-cream van in Maitland, NSW in 1959... They really should change the record!.. :D

@walabby Up North yes, driving trucks no, although I do have a heavy vehicle driver's licence and could if I'd wanted to. I worked in finance but on site.

I love that song! What a pity to spoil it. I can imagine it tinkeling away over and over again! And then the association with ice cream cones!😕

@SW-User Oh I can't stand it. It's like Chinese torture to me. lol I've been watching some British shows and the ice-cream vans play there too!

@Zoranna Very few ice cream vans where I live luckily!☺

@SW-User It's only been recently. I thought they'd all gone to the great ice-cream parlour in the sky! :-)

Better than here, where the trucks play "Do Your Ears Hang Low" or some other horrible kid's song.

Zoranna · F

@Lila15 I doubt that. Have you ever heard "Greensleeves"?

Lila15 · 22-25, F

@Zoranna Yes, it's pretty when played with a guitar or a violin. I guess an ice cream truck, not so much.

Zoranna · F

@Lila15 I can't stand it! It's from the 1400's or thereabouts, how about something a little more modern I ask. lol

Yes, but here they tend to play either POP Goes the Weasel or a carneval theme.

Zoranna · F

@xmedleft That would be just as bad, and continuously. Eeek.

It would drive me crazy!!! 😖

Zoranna · F

@OzDiver It does me! 😒
