Mister Softee Jingle, Les Waas

Les Waas was 94 years old at the time of his death. He created the Mister Softee jingle in 1960 and it has been used by ice cream trucks since. The song actually has lyrics, but they aren’t as well known as the classic tune.

While the Mister Softee jingle is easily Les Waas’ most famous creation, it’s not his only one. The advertiser actually created over 970 different tunes that were used for advertising. Mister Softee still operates 600 ice cream trucks, reports NBC News.
