Ice Cream Parlours and Milkshake Bars: The Playlist
_________
THE weather is improving…

and, when the sun is out, rather romantically and oldskool, I think back to classic ice cream parlours and milkshake bars. We still have them now, but there is a particular nostalgia and something 1950s/1960s about them. I am glad they are still around and popular (especially ice cream shops and bars), as they will be buzzing in the summer! To mark the approaching warmer weather and a bright (hopefully!) season, I have compiled a playlist of songs both classic and modern that evoke those scenes. Of the older-style bars and parlours that seem outdated or of the past now, to the more modern examples, there is this pull and wonder to them. It has been interesting thinking of songs that could well score a pleasant afternoon or evening grabbing a milkshake or some ice cream – or, if the mood strikes, both! To mark the warming weather and some drier and brighter skies, here is a playlist that should get the summer sounds started early. If you have not even considered venturing out to get some ice cream or a refreshing milkshake, then I hope that these tracks help…
