‘N***er Love A Watermelon Ha Ha Ha’ Did You Know the Ice Cream Truck Song Was Racist? [VIDEO]
Yes the ice cream truck song you loved as a kid was actually one of the most racist songs ever.
Every kid growing up loved to hear the ice cream truck coming, that song is forever instilled into your head. What if I told you that before becoming one of the best songs ever it was actually one of the most racist songs ever.
"Ni**as Love A Watermelon Ha! Ha! Ha!" was written by Harry C Browne released through Columbia Records in 1916. Check out the lyrics of the call-response formatted tune.
Browne: You Ni**as quit thrown them bones and come down and get your ice cream.
Black Men: Ice Cream?!?! (with excitement)
Browne: Yes Ice Cream! Colored mans Ice Cream: WATERMELON!!
Ni**as Love A WaterMelon! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Ni**as Love A Watermelon! Ha! Ha! Ha!
For Here they're made with a Half a pound Of Coal
There's nothing Like Watermelon for a Hungry Coon
Not only was this a real song it actually was #26 on the chrarts.
