Ours plays the 1979 hit Music Box Dancer which is weird because it's definitely not public domain.
Every icecream truck I've ever heard plays Für Elise

“The entertainer”
“My Darling Clementine” <— This one creeps me out, because it reminds me of that one episode of Star Trek Voyager
It's not a van, it's a dude on a modified bike-cart. He honks a bulb horn.
Turkey?
Los Angeles lol
Ours plays 'Oranges and Lemons', but it's so fast and jangly that it took me a while to work it out. Most of the vans around where I live tend to play 'Just One Cornetto'
"Pop goes the weasel." Though now that you mention it, I haven't heard an ice cream truck in a few years.
O Sole Mio!
Strangely, an instrumental version of "Chain Hang Low, by Jibbs.
Also, what does your Ice Cream Van Halen play?
Just some generic music box song. But the guy drives too fast. I was outside once and managed to catch him to tell him to slow down because I didn't have time to grab my wallet AND run outside. But he didn't speak much English and I think he thought I was telling him he was speeding because he seemed to disagree after a short discussion with his wife. Just wanted him to slow down, maybe stop more often. Figured he would get more sales.
Oh well, since I'm a grown ass man, guess I'll just get my ice cream at the store. But seriously, where is the fun in that?
Get on our bike and chase after him with your money!
The one I remember most played Pop Goes the Weasel.
