Fifty years after the fair
the picture I have is so clear
underneath the clouds in the air
rose the Trylon and the Perisphere
Aimee Mann
Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns...
Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Simon and Garfunkel
I went to the animal fair
The birds and the beasts were there
The big baboon
By the light of the moon
Was combing his auburn hair
(I have no idea... we sang it when I was little.)
We met on the midway
Throwing our spare change at games we would lose
Entertainment
Helen Chance
Oh, dear, what can the matter be
Johnny's so long at the fair
Bring on the dancing horses
Headless and all alone
Echo and the Bunnymen - I remember the song from the Pretty in Pink soundtrack
Zombies from all parts of the islands
Some are great Calypsonians
Since the season was carnavale
They got together in bacchanal
-- Zombie Jamboree, by Lord Invader
He flies through the air
With the greatest of ease
That daring young man
On the flying trapeze
I was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves
Cher
I can't miss it god forbid
I've been goin' since I was a kid
That hot, cheesy, way greasy
My Minnesota State Fair
-- Ann Reed (part of the Minnesota State Fair Trilogy, which also includes One Fair Fair, and The Fair)
I'm up on the tight wire
One side's ice and one is fire
It's a circus game with you and me
Tight Rope, Leon Russell
All eyes on me in the center of the ring, just like a circus
Circus - Britney Spears
I met you on a midway
at a fair last year
Song About the Midway
Joni Mitchell
...And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
The Circle Game
Joni Mitchell
(a stretch??)
He danced for those
at minstrel shows
and county fairs
throughout the south
Mr. Bojangles
Jerry Jeff Walker
Don't write a letter when you want to leave
Don't call me at 3 AM from a friend's apartment
I want to choose
How I hear the news:
In a circus tent
That's got a trapeze
Tell me on a Sunday, please.
(Andrew Lloyd Webber)
I took a trip down to look at the fair
When I arrived I found nobody there
(Renaissance)
