Sherbet is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Since I never commented on that then, I will say the Phil Collins song is the only one I have heard of.
In addtion to Phil Collins, there were three others that I remembered:
"It's Over Now" - the radio
"Itchin' for a Scratch" - the movie Rappin' :-(
"Love Resurrection" - the music video
