Songs with a Circus feel anyone? That aren't, like ..actually circus songs? I've got tumblers and breakfast machine, thinking more about pop-songs with that hurdy-gurdy spectacle feel?

Granted, I've only heard two songs by them, but Dr. Dog have a bit of a calliope feel to them. Not my flavor, but YMMV.

I have another CD that I got from Suburban Home Records that I got from a special they were running that I have no use for. Can't recall the name of the band, but they've got that same kind of hippie/circus feel to 'em. If you want it, I'd be glad to send it your way gratis.

anything by Donovan should suffice. Or Magical Mystery Tour by the Beatles.

and yes I did somehow forget that whole big lush peroid of the Beatles.

Total circus song that ain't: Certified off of Jazzamatazz 3

First thing I thought of (after Mr. Kite) was The Band's W.S. Walcott's Medicine Show.

Kind of more of a carny song than circus.
