I don't dare link to modern music with fairs as a theme like a certain famous film. But it's hard to find old music to put up, that people on here might like.

From the album Tigerlily (1995)
Iāve walked these streets, a virtual stage, it seemed to me. Makeup on their faces, actors took their places next to me. Iāve walked these streets in a carnival of sights to see. All the cheap thrill seekers, the vendors, the dealers, they crowded around me.
Have I been blind? Have I been lost inside myself, my own mind hypnotized, mesmerized by what my eyes have seen?
Iāve walked these streets in a spectacle of wealth and poverty. In the diamond market the scarlet welcome carpet that they just rolled out for me. Iāve walked these streets in the madhouse asylum, they can be where a wild-eyed misfit prophet on a traffic island stopped and he raved of saving me.
Have I been blind? Have I been lost inside myself and my own mind, hypnotized, mesmerized by what my eyes have seen? Have I been wrong? Have I been wise to shut my eyes and play along? Hypnotized, paralyzed by what my eyes have found, by what my eyes have seen, what they have seen?
Have I been blind? Have I been lost? Have I been wrong? Have I been wise? Have I been strong? Have I been hypnotized, mesmerized by what my eyes have found in that great street carnival, in that carnival?

Next we have this man: Or as we at the fair call him: The Illustrated Man
Listen in wonder as he tells us strange stories of his tattoos! First he will tell you about this one, and the story behind it:

To avoid confusion I should say Dem Bones, our ringmaster, is the one with the beard. I've no idea who that man next to him is.

The carnival is a wonderous place! Came inside and discover your spirit guides! Gaze into the mirror as the World's Most Beautiful Woman shares with you the knowledge of your hidden Spirit Guides and more! Perhaps Bob Hope or Chairman Mao is standing right beside you and you don't know it! As you gaze the World's Most Beautiful Woman will appear behind you and you will see her reflection dimly in the mirror, but don't turn around! As her beauty is such that you will be blinded by it face to face! Such is her curse, for being the most beautiful woman who has ever lived (shameless and outrageous bigging myself up here, but why not). For this is carnival, and the people here are unlike any other!

When not riding the Wall of Death, Shrink Proof also does this: He uses the latest in modern science, because he doesn't believe in superstitious mumbo jumbo.

When you think about it, in an age before film, and TV and the Internet, then fairs must have been amazing places for people whose world was often only a few miles around their town or area. You can see why just seeing a tattood man, or a bearded woman would be strange, and the acts, in their finary, must have seemed a great spectacle.

Our ringmaster says: Meet the next act to astonish you! Swampirella! Amazing trapeze artist and Strongest Woman in the World! -Here she is in action! Lifting all those heavy print books for all those years sure builds muscle! I've been too shy to reveal my trapeze artistry, until the Princess outed me....
