I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice cream!

Without ice cream, there are only screams.

Sounds like HP Lovecraft wrote a book about parenting.

The word scream has lost all meaning to me now, thanks!

By no means do I want to appear pedantic, but isn't it "You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream!"?

That's how I learnt it forever ago, so the way you folks are saying it sounds...well, weird. lol

This is based on a classic saying, "you scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream". In case you're not a native speaker or it's not obvious from text, the saying is based on the fact that "I scream" and "ice cream" sound similar, so it's a bit of a pun. However, without the last part of the saying which references "ice cream", it just sounds like there's a bunch of screaming, which is pretty terrifying!
