Every once in a while O&A play this fast paced circus music. Does anyone know what it is called? They played it yesterday during the midget segment (talking about the midgets at a convention going into a single bus)
Thanks!

I had first heard that it was a song that was actually used to bring in gladiators to the Colloseum and that always cracked me up as it is now used to bring in the clowns. But I eventually learned it was actually written in the 1800's.

That is the "standard" circus music, but I believe Doctor Manhattan is talking about the pipe music that they have been playing. I keep thinking of a Simpson's episode when I hear it.

Yes it is pipe based and very fast. I am pretty sure it's been played on R&F as well, when ESD did that vulgar clown character, Fucktwat the Clown, for example

I thought so - I haven't been able to find it either. However, it sounds similar to this:

Alf Clausen wrote the tune above for The Simpsons.

That sounds a lot like it. It almost sounds like they wanted to use the music I am thinking of and had Alf write that one to avoid a law suit.

that's such a dramatic title for such a silly song. It should have been Entrance of cute fluffy animals riding unicycles.
I wikipedia'd it and it's origin was a marching song for the czech army. Who would be intimidated by a fearsome force with that music. No wonder hitler walked all over them.
