Ice cream trucks in Australia play a different tune (green sleeves I think). But my mother in law had the perfect solution to stop her three kids from ranting and raving for ice cream whenever the truck came down the street playing music. She would say "the music man is here" and they would race to the front of the house and start dancing.
