（以上为野史，下面进正史）
乐路历程：
经过短暂的排练，V-Day参加了2004年9月18日红色菜鸟酒吧（现在的拉丁音乐酒吧）的南京本地摇滚免费大爬，由于是周六下午的免费演出，所以当天人爆满，甚至出现酒吧无法再进人的火爆场面（票友也少不了），演出到最后几个乐队，因为没什么名气（很多都是第一次演），走掉了很多人，接下来当时的牛黄丸乐队（现在的old doll）一首“操你妈的逼”，吓走了为数不多的观众（我猜的），导致后面看V-Day演出的人寥寥无几，这时候的V-Day还是个默默无名的学生乐队，由于当时主唱祝捷的Zoom505效果器现场效果很不好，舞台经验不足，导致演出并不那么顺利，但V-Day依旧认真、激情地完成了这场演出，我记得好像翻唱了几首软饼干的歌。这场演出后，V-Day淡出了人们的视野，也为以后的蜕变埋下了伏笔。当时很多人认为（比如我），918的演出是他们的处子秀，也是落日秀。
2005年，高考结束后，杨帆退出乐队，吉他手路遥、贝斯手罗攀加入，同年8月，V-Day发表了他们的第一张EP小样《Something from the war》，风格从一年前的新金属迅速放慢节拍蜕变成独立流行和英式摇滚。2006年，吉他手路遥留学去韩国，暂时退出V-Day，之后人员频繁调动，但这并没有让V-Day停下脚步，他们越来越频繁的参加各种地下或商业演出，为国内外各种知名乐队做演出前的暖场演出。2007年，南京元老级鼓手魏星加入V-Day，同年7月，V-Day发表他们的第二张小样《The Patient》，备受好评，新EP依旧延续之前一张小样的音乐风格，其中《Friend》于2008年被选入《通俗歌曲》。音乐、现场表现渐渐成熟的V-Day乐队在2008-2010年参加了大量的本地、外地的演出，积累了丰富的演出经验，甚至有了“南京暖场小王子”的称号。2009年愚人节，V-Day为全球知名小清新Tamas Wells作南京站演出暖场嘉宾，音乐受到Tamas Wells的高度赞赏。
2010年原吉他手路遥从韩国回归V-Day，这期间他们创作了不少新歌，风格更加偏向于独立摇滚,音乐中加入了很多实验元素，更加多样化。这时候的V-Day早已成为南京知名英式摇滚乐队，乐队几个人俊朗的面孔、不羁的台风让他们的作品和演出深受广大高校和社会女性的喜爱，在华东地区其他城市也有不小的影响力。同年5月，乐队新作《Angle》被收录于上海感冒音乐独立合辑《Here Comes The Spring》。之后贝斯手陈玥退出乐队，朱晓楠加入V-Day变成最终阵容：吉他、主唱：祝捷；吉他手：路遥；贝斯手：朱晓楠；鼓手：毕誉磊。除了继续参加各种演出外就是进行新碟的录制。2011年，主唱祝捷因学业问题将远赴大英帝国，4月和5月分别在古堡酒吧和61酒吧举办了告别演出，并在5月发售了最新EP《Out Of Time》。
一个低沉而又忧郁的声音从英格兰传来：I will be back...
Ice Cream
V-Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hm?
What's a allegory?
An allegory is a story with a subliminal meaning
That has a political message based off the writer's mind
Can you give me something from the ice cream truck? Of course baby
What's goin' on 'lil man, what can I get for you?
The ice cream truck been playin' the same song
I bet you don't even know the origin of it
Do you? Do you, Mr. Ice Cream Man?
Lady, what the hell are you talkin' ab-
Allow me to enlighten you, Mr. Ice Cream Man
A white man named Harry C. Brown
Made a racist ass song called "Nigga Love A Watermelon"
That was in 1916 on Columbia Records
And here you are a hundred years later
Comin' through your neighborhood playin' the same fuckin' song
Way to go Mr. Ice Cream Man
Wait a minute, hold up
Ain't you Neverteddy69 from Tinder?
The lyrics of V-Day's song Ice Cream begin with a conversation between a child and their mother about the meaning of the word "allegory". The mother explains that allegory is a type of story that has a hidden message or a political meaning. The child then asks for something from the ice cream truck, leading to a confrontation with the ice cream man.
The ice cream man is asked about the origin of the song that he is playing, which has been heard by the child for as long as they can remember. The ice cream man is puzzled by the question, leading the child's mother to explain that the song was originally a racist composition called "Nigga Love A Watermelon" by Harry C. Brown in 1916. The song is a racial stereotype that was popular during the Jim Crow era in America.
The confrontation between the ice cream man and the child's mother in V-Day's Ice Cream highlights the insidious nature of racism and how it can infiltrate even the most seemingly innocuous elements of daily life. The lyrics also serve as an important reminder that cultural artifacts are not exempt from critique and that it is important to reflect on the origins and implications of the media that we consume.
