When we started this playlist, we had no idea how many songs were written about ice cream. Here is our selection, not exhaustive, but absolutely delicious!
« Ice Cream Man », de Tom Waits (1973)
It’s one of Tom Waits’ first songs, the ones the Californian sang in his very debut at the Troubadour, in Los Angeles, in 1969. From his voice, then more nasal than serious (we feel the veneration for Bob Dylan), he swings his “Ice Cream Man” and his “strawberry surprise sundae” or “cherry popsicle” in the streets. In short, do not miss the passage of the ice cream seller!

« Salted Caramel Ice Cream », de Metronomy (2019)
The English group Metronomy always knew how to sing in the summer. After the cult albums The English Riviera or Summer 08« Salted Caramel Ice Cream », avec ses hopping old school synths that snap like strings and its sweet lyrics, is a piquant and heady neo 1980 electro pop summer gem. It was written by frontman Joseph Mount right after his collaboration with Robyn (whose he produced the Honey), and we can still see the singer’s dance imprint…

« Fior Di Latte », de Phoenix (2017)
Taken from the album I love youwhich rocked our summer 2017 as it smelled of the beach, Italy and love, “Fior Di Latte” made us melt like Italian ice cream in a Fiat in full sun. Phoenixthe quartet of musicians from Versailles who are a hit abroad, delight us with this unctuous title, a bittersweet scent that leaves a taste of regret on the tongue.
“Vanilla Ice Cream”, from Vanille (2019)
The daughter of Julien Clerc and Virginie Coupérie-Eiffel, a 35-year-old singer (like dad), offers us this refrain from the islands or Brazil: “Say / that you won’t make it through the summer, say / you won’t be able to taste vanilla ice cream / without cry, say…” Tropical lightness sometimes hides painful love.

“The Ice Cubes”, by Kalika and Yelle (2022)
Attention, young and sensitive souls abstain! Kalika’s ice cubes and Yell are downright hot. With her Eurodance synths, club beats and provocative lyrics, Kalika (another name for the Hindu goddess of preservation, transformation and destruction Kali) sings of desire, body, sensuality, sex, with humor and causticity. At 23, the former participant in New star signs this very hot duo with Yelle, another woman with sharp looks who is not afraid to play with the codes of the genre and to eroticize the masculine.
