}} "Ice Cream Truck" is a song by American rapper Cazwell. The song has been described as a light, easy and 80s'-sounding hip-hop song that uses an xylophone to emulate a jingle played on an ice cream truck. The single was released in August 2010, and is a track on the deluxe edition of Cazwell's second album ''Watch My Mouth''. "Ice Cream Truck" was written and produced by Cazwell and Chris Bracco, originally for the 2010 film ''Spork'', which was written and directed by J.B. Ghuman Jr. but did not plan to have a commercial release until Cazwell's manager suggested doing a video for the song. The video, which was directed by Marco Ovando, premiered on YouTube on July 30, 2010, and received over 1 million views within a week. ==Background and release== Cazwell approached his friend J.B. Ghuman Jr. to submit tracks for a film Ghuman was directing and writing, 2010's ''Spork''. The songs did not meet with Ghuman’s approval. The director wanted a song that had an "80s hip-hop feel" with "minimal cute noises" and was "Something summery – like going to the ice cream truck."〔〔 Cazwell and his engineer agreed of doing a song about a song called "Ice Cream Truck" on the last day working with Ghuman for the film. The track was written in 45 minutes,〔 and the song was recorded in the next hour and 45 minutes.〔 He claimed of writing the song in a "Chinese-food hangover."〔Rothaus, Steve (October 2010).
