Circus Music redirect
editOk...is there a reason 'Circus Music' redirects here? And is there a reason for the songs template? It's not in any way a song. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 14:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
I love the fact that "Circus Music" directs here! Psycho Hippo 21:18, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Big Red Noses
editThe song "Big Red Noses" is linked from here because someone has put credible and relevant words to a march that has always been associated with the Circus. It is the anthem of Clowns International which, amongst other things, keeps Circus alive in the 21st century and the march itself on the agenda and in the public ear. 84.68.71.190 (talk) 14:48, 25 April 2008 (UTC)Julian the Juggler
Someone removed the link to the Big Red Noses song without discussion (!) I have restored it today. Happy to discuss. Julian the Juggler. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.70.209.67 (talk) 10:52, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- It's simple. It's spam. The link goes to a commercial site. It dopesn't matter if Clowns International "keeps Circus alive in the 21st century", in regards to what should be linked on WP. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 12:28, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
13 Sins
editAdded a reference to the recent horror / black comedy 13 Sins in which this music features regularly throughout as the ringtone which plays whenever a mysterious caller calls the main protagnist's phone. Dantilley (talk) 16:02, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

- I remember seeing a webpage once explaining why the Sonic music was so catchy, and tying the melodies to various songs popular at the time .... it may have also included classical music without my noticing it since I wouldnt have known what to look for. It could even explain why I felt I'd heard Cocomelon's music (see below) in a video game before. The composer of Sonic 2's music had previous work writing melodies for a mainstream band. However, all I can turn up right now is TVTropes, which is the very definition of original research, and even TVTropes doesn't make this particular connection. The Sonic 3 clip is quite obvious, but it uses only a few notes. —Soap— 15:47, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- Also, Super Mario Kart's game over music ... which explains my intuition once and for all, since I've played that game (albeit, a very long time ago), but I've only seen Sonic 3 at a friend's house. This might be all over the place, really, but I don't think there's any feasible way to get it into the article .... this is what TVTropes is for, I guess, and maybe some other sites. —Soap— 21:04, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
Conflicting Composition Dates
editThe opening line of the article contains "composed in 1897", yet in the first line under History, it says "wrote the march on October 17, 1899". Smyslov (talk) 16:11, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
Wheels on the Bus
editYup, I've finally figured it out ... this is the music used as both the intro and the outro in Cocomelon's renditions of Wheels on the Bus ... all four of them ... and in their three original creations where different lyrics are fit into the same melody. It's clear as day, and there's no mistaking it for anything else. Alas, I have no idea where to even begin looking for a traditional citation for this as we have done for the much older songs quoted in the Adaptations section. It's possible we'll have to just let it be ... unless we can get a confirmation from the composer of the Cocomelon songs on social media and consider that definitive proof. I imagine they are quite busy, however. —Soap— 14:42, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
Add "Circus Theme" to list of names
editAs of right now, the article reads: "Entrance of the Gladiators" op. 68 or "Entry of the Gladiators" (Czech: Vjezd gladiátorů) is a military march composed...
Will it be advantageous to add "also known as the 'Circus Theme'" to this intro sentence?
e.g. "Entrance of the Gladiators" op. 68 or "Entry of the Gladiators" (Czech: Vjezd gladiátorů), also known as the "Circus Theme", is a military march composed... Evrstz (talk) 02:14, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
