    Yeah, Mr. Softee in San Francisco uses the same music. I don’t recognize it from anywhere else. It sounds like a music box, especially because many of the notes don’t hit the beats.

      They have them in San Francisco? I didn’t know they existed until I moved up to the East Coast. I assume that Mr. Softee is where the Pete and Pete character Mr. Tastee comes from.

        Mister Softee is headquartered in Runnymede, NJ so the east coast association makes sense. It’s a franchisor so there’s trucks in 18 states.

        The Wikipedia article about them says the song is titled “Jingle and Chimes”, and it’s based on “The Whistler and his Dog”. There’s lyrics too!
