Circus Songs
I'm holding a circus-themed party this weekend, in amongst the playlist I wanted to put some circus-esque songs in.
Other than the obvious (Britney - Circus) can you think of any other songs that are reminiscent of the circus (in lyrics or sound)? |

I get the feeling that these might not fit in with your mood, but Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite is the obvious one, off Sergeant Pepper. If you want something really obscure, there is about a minute of utterly bonkers circus music right at the end of King Crimson's Lizard album, but I'm not sure if it even has a title for downloading it. It follows a guitar solo called Prince Rupert's Lament - definitely not a track to break the ice at parties.
Just thought of another one - absolutely brilliant. Look up Nellie The Elephant by Mandy Millar. Perfect. |

"Wild Billy's Circus Story" by Bruce Springsteen will be of no use whatsoever for your purposes, but I thought I'd chuck it in anyway

The OP wants a playlist for a party. Music rather than visuals.

Here are some that are more obvious to me:- Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite - The Beatles Cathy's Clown - The Everly Brothers Death Of A Clown - Dave Davies Ha! Ha! Said The Clown - Manfred Mann Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan (lyrics mention jugglers and clowns) Tears Of A Clown - Smokey Robinson and the Miracles Some lesser known tracks with a circus connection:- 1941 - Harry Nilsson Goodbye Cruel World (I'm Off To Join The Circus) - James Darren Clown Shoes - Johnny Burnette Fire Eater - Three Dog Night See The Funny Little Clown - Bobby Goldsboro |
