Apparently that turkey in the straw one is super racist- or rather the lyrics of the version that took off and led to ICT fame. I swear ours still plays it… I’ll have to listen closely next time I happen to hear it.
Perhaps I’m naive. I looked up the lyrics and found one spot in them where, yes, for sure, that’s racist. However, it’s akin to Enie meenie miney moe, where a slight change could make the song suitable again.

I already posted the relevant bit above. The history of this song in ice cream trucks was absolutely racist.
Something isn’t meshing with my app, or whatever. I swear I saw your comment but it disappeared and the one I replied to remained.
Ok, so we are both right it turns out: Turkey in the Straw is as I described (one racist passage), but was used as the tune for the ice cream truck song which was a bajillion times worse, Holy cow.
Fuck things were bad back then.
