Turkey In the Straw beeez raycisss!
Good Humor, Wu-Tang Clan Founder RZA Release New Ice Cream Truck Jingle To Replace Old Melody With Racist Past

A familiar sound of summer is being overhauled. Good Humor announced it worked with Wu-Tang Clan founder, rapper and music producer RZA to create a new jingle for ice cream trucks.

The widely used jingle, “Turkey in the Straw,” has racist roots, according to the company’s website.

The song’s familiar melody dates back to British and Irish folk songs, which Good Humor said had no racial connotations. However, the company said, American musicians started to use the tune for songs with offensive and racist lyrics in the 1800s.

So I guess ice cream trucks will be retrofitted with 24" speakers, 140 amp alternators and two 8D truck batteries so we can feel it thumping down the street?

The first time I hear that shit in my neighborhood, I'm calling the cops. After that, I'm laying out the spike strips.

This sheds more light on the "rayciss" ice cream truck song.

Not a real big deal for the times when negros not only provided farm labor but entertainment too.

I remember the ice cream man coming down the street on a hot afternoon. The music was magic to this young boy. Mom would give me a nickel to buy a treat. So long ago. Niggers !

Now you can send your kids/grandkids out when you first feel your house start to vibrate and the windows start to rattle knowing you have plenty of time to find money and get them to the curb without missing the truck.
