On That Note: Our State Fair...

[MeanDean]

Welcome to this week's On That Note.

With the Iowa State Fair going on, Fair will be our topic this week.

We are looking for songs with titles and/or lyrics that include the word "Fair.” We also accept the synonyms Exhibition, Bazaar, Carnival, and will allow the homophone "Fare."

Lastly, also acceptable are carnival rides at the State Fair such as Ferris Wheel, Merry-Go-Round or Carousel, Octopus, Bumper Cars etc.

Last Week's OTN was Olympic themed. It can be found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-olympics.286552/

Your hosts for On That Note are @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.

No longer ridin' on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

 

[MeanDean]

We're gonna cause talk and suspicion
We're gonna give an exhibition

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Yeah, once you get started you can't sit down
Come join the fun, it's a merry-go-round

They stay at the carnival
But they'll never win you back

The clown with the frown, driving down to the sidewalk fair

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer

 

[MeanDean]

I sat there alone upon the Ferris wheel
A pastel-colored carriage in the air

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

All the bazaar men by the Nile

 

[MeanDean]

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Don't know what a slide rule is for

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Another day in this carnival of souls
