All Service Vehicles Should Play Music

Ice cream vans have got the right idea. You hear 'Greensleeves' and you know there's somebody selling ice cream and drugs outside your house. Other service vehicles should do the same.

Police: Anything by the Police obviously, or Supergrass with Caught By The Fuzz.
Fire engines: Burning Down The House by Talking Heads, or possibly Arthur Brown and Fire.
Rubbish Trucks: Anything by Garbage, or My Old Man's A Dustman.
Over-sized Loads Escorts: Fat Bottomed Girls By Queen.

AIBU?

When McDonald's first launched home delivery I said the delivery drivers should wear a flashing red light and a siren that goes "big mac big mac"
😁

Fire engines: Billy Joel we didn't start the fire. I don't think fire engines should advertise burning down the house.

Damn, I guess that means "Firestarter" by the Prodigy is out then.

Taiwan is way ahead of you….

Also, what's all this about ice cream vans selling drugs?? I had no idea, they really need to advertise this service better 😆

Do you have any delivery service for logs for fires nearby? Firestarter would work for them!

I was going to say that they already do this in Japan.

The pediatric intensive care ambulance I saw the other day just needed "GET OUT THE F-WAY" on repeat.

We have a milk man. Not sure I'd want to hear him at the time he delivers though.

Uber Eats. That song that goes 'A Pizza Hut, a Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut. McDonalds'

A funny real life example I saw was a local butchers that delivers pork pie and peas (very popular in these parts, there's a thread about it for people who are not from Northern England so need help understanding the concept) that played the Benny Hill theme tune.

I was collecting a parcel from the Yodel depot, the pie van turned up and all the Yodel drivers ran towards the van while the Benny Hill theme tune played.

Prison vans... I fought the law, and the law won

Singleandproud · 22/10/2024 09:22

Won't someone please think of the poor service personnel!

Christmas music in shops is bad enough for retail workers and thats only for a month staff turnover would be epic.
