This morning...the song played by Ice Cream trucks all over the country was officially ruined for me. I came across an article that prompted me to go listen to the original song, which was written in 1916. The song is called "Nigger Love A Watermelon! Ha! Ha! Ha!" My mouth hit the floor as I recalled how just yesterday the Ice Cream Truck came into the neighborhood and all the little kids instantly recognized the jingle and raced to the truck. After reading the article below, I was sickened. Click the link to read the article:

And then, I went to Youtube and found the original version of the song....and I threw up. Literally. Click the link to listen

Yeah. Summer is officially ruined for me and I may never purchase anything from an Ice Cream truck again. SMH
