Have you heard the ice cream trucks with a random "Hello?" thrown into songs? I don't understand the purpose. Googling brought up some people saying it goes back to the 90s, or that it's specifically a Southern California thing. Strangely enough the movie A Different Man (2024) played that exact sound during an emotional scene. That movie takes place in NYC.
- neaden 1y agoI hear the Hello from our local ice cream trucks in Illinois, so not just a California thing.
- tetris11 1y agoI wonder what the copyright licensing is on Frank Mills Music Box Dancer which is quite common on the icecream trucks here
- lapetitejort 1y agoBased on the images and knock-off ice cream bars I've seen, ice cream trucks seem to treat copyright as a suggestion
- macNchz 1y agoDefinitely a thing in NYC—had an ice cream truck that would sit down the block from my place playing music all day long and many years later that "hello" is like nails on a chalkboard.
