Jørgensen
popcicles/ice lollies, and Homer selling them from a icecreamtruck, there is
a melody the icecreamtruck are playing when arriving in a area!
Anyone who knows the name of that number??
I think it�s from the 50�s, maybe earlier!

Dude, the '50s? About 35 years later!
The song that the Ice Cream truck plays is a guitar solo from 'Money for
nothing' by 'Dire Straits', a song from 1985 and the first song that MTV
Europe broadcasted.

No way mate, it must be a different episode you have in mind! :-)
The melody, wich also are played in their bedroom, can you find in a old
black & white take from a Spike Jones tv show, in wich a violinist with very
large upandbended shoes plays that exactly number.
That brings me to the fifthties or, as previous wrote, maybe earlier than
that!

ice-cream trucks...though I'm pretty sure that song is from the early
1800s, so his timeframe is still way off, heh.

Nope, not that one either, funny Spike Jones thing, though! :-)
Sadly, I not aware of episodenr./year, I just happens to see the episode
while zapping my remote!
When Homer, in his uniform, is in his bed, starting to making out with
Marge, he turns on a turntable/grammofon with the same melody as used in the
truck.

Well, I was right about the episoded but thought you meant the music
that Homer's ice cream truck made and that was 'Money for nothing'.

Well, you're still way off. It's Pop goes the weasel, an English
traditional from 1855. So about 100 years earlier ;).
