The old song came with a bit of a dark history.
So you know the Ice Cream Truck song…right?
Unfortunately…history has been far too kind to the song “Turkey in the Straw”.
You might love the dessert, but you might not know the history behind the song associated with it.
As @GoodHumor explains, "Turkey in the Straw" has a VERY racist past https://t.co/BeLAppQcTb pic.twitter.com/xJMuQghiIw

The song was a staple at old minstrel shows in the 1800s…and would often come with horribly racist lyrics that cannot and should not be repeated here.
Enter….the Wu Tang.
