I'm trying to find out what the "Circus Song" is that appears, for example in the clown college episode, when Homer sees clowns this music is playing. I've been all over, checked the episode capsule on snpp which just said "Circus music is playing". I looked through at least 50 pages of google search results with no luck.

It's driving me up the wall. Thanks.

Not to be picky, but according to my Baldwin Electric Organ Learning Program (copyright 1971), it's "Entrance of the Gladiators."

Either of which is better than my answer, which would be "you know, the one that goes doo doo doo-doo-doo-doo doo doo doo-doo-doo-doo, doo da da doo-doo doo da da doo-doo, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la."

I suspect it's an Alf Clauson original. A couple of others they have used are "Entrance of the Gladiators" (Marge starts to hum this before Homer announces he's going to Clown College.) and "Sabre Dance" (used while Bart bites the ceiling fan in 9F03, among others).

And then Alan Hamilton spoiled it all by writing something stupid like:

Yes, the organ-grinder music is an Alf Clausen original, not Entry of the Gladiators, which you ALL know.

Hmm. After I posted the message I figured I should have said "No, it's not 'Entrance of the Gladiators'", which is the usual generic circus music most people think of. I remember seeing some reference somewhere that it may or may not be from the "Bozo the Clown" TV show, which I'm not old enough to have seen, and can't find any music for anyway.
