Rick creates Glockenspiel rendition of Lollipop Song for Ice Cream Truck in Phoenix


I'm working out a Glockenspiel version of Lollipop for a local ice cream truck. I'll put several renditions on the following playlist -- along with ice cream trucks as examples of how ice cream truck songs are supposed to sound-- then add mine below this on the Blogger video host because Youtube can't accept any more videos from me using my current browser and I can't update my browser without updating my computer & I don't want to do that presently.

Playlist begins with Chordettes and moves through several versions including piano

I may as well take the time to create a piano lesson out of this song... here are the searches.... and below that some lyrics and chords and more.  Once the ice cream truck hits the streets, maybe I'll videotape it and post it here after buying my own ice cream with my rendition of Lollipop playing in the background.

Someone assembled a 119 youtube playlist of ice cream trucks playing their songs.

The Ice Cream Truck Song - YouTube



What mechanism is involved in playing ice cream truck bellular sounds-- and why was that sound chosen? ... good question. I added a video to the playlist above to answer that. 


Here's a first attempt to create Lollipop as an ice cream truck song. I didn't use sheet music but did use the chords as seen above. I think I have a lot of inaccuracies and might have to order the sheet music. I forgot to edit out my first few false starts. I replicated it 5X with copy and paste. I do not believe the end user is going to be able to play this off his smart phone through a loudspeaker as ice cream trucks use. The proper equipment is sol by a particular company as seen in the video playlist above. In any case, playing the following will give us basic idea of what we're considering. I believe I used some tones that are too low.
