Song is a bit cheesey but thats ok....Presidents of the United States of America and Ugly Kid Joe were cheesey too and yet catchy.

Only thing that drove me nuts was trying to read the post before and after the message. I am horrible at L3WT speak....sorry must be my age. Post the tab to it or an MP3 so we can get a drift of the tune too.
I use heavy strings, tune low, play hard and floor it. Floor it. That's technical talk.

I kinda like it, it's got a bit of a Syd Barrett feeling to it :cool:. As long as the music is distinctive and interesting, it ought to be a good song. However, I would replace the line, "then you grinded him and threw him in a bog" with something a bit more distinctive... but keep working on it! :)

HA! I've heard about that movie!

Only problem: John Brim already wrote a song about an Ice Cream Man, and Van Halen covered it. From the looks of the structure of your song, they're fairly similar.

he he.... happens to me all the time. I 'write' a killer riff, play it to my bandmates or friends or whatever, and one of them will say 'oh yeah, that's......', and then I realise I've nicked someone else's song. Usually, it changes a bit, but now and again it's been note for note and I hadn't placed it!

oo never saw this one.
the lines aren't the same syllables.
if you were to sing this, you'd have to go real fast on some lines then slow on some. there are some words you can cut off from some lines and maybe add to others and it'll still make sense.
you can also break it into sections.

other than that, its pretty smart. i liked it, but in my opinion the lines need to be about the same length of syllables.

don't throw it away.

Growing up as an artist, I drew some really good drawings. And the rest sucked. So I threw them away. Looking back at my old stuff now, I wish I never tossed them out because if the only works of art you keep are your best, you'll never get to see how good you've actually gotten.

*stops Claire in mid-flirt*

I don't think this is a bad song, but like Jolly said, there's a song called 'Ice Cream Man' already. Not that that's really a problem, I'm just sayin'.

And like pure said, you really want to have a definite rhythm for this song. I would suggest changing some of those lines to make them fit better.

The only original suggestion I have is, well, originality. From what I understand, the movie you watched was some cheap horror flick about an ice cream man who hides his victims in ice cream tubs, right? I think it's fine to write songs about movies, but unless you put your own spin on it, what's the point? Right now it's just a song stating exactly what the movie is about.

Just suggestions; if you feel really strongly about these things, keep 'em in by all means.

Yeah, you can use it for a ice cream man for a metaphor. Your song just seems little too literal for anyone to buy into that. Kind of like the song "Tambourine Man" by Bob Dylan is an extended metaphor (for what is in one's interpretation of the song.)
