* The Music/MileyCyrus music video for "Can't Be Tamed", features her as a WingedHumanoid locked in a cage and stared at by rich snobs.
* Part of Music/{{Muse}}'s "Music/KnightsOfCydonia" video includes the hero being placed in stocks and having feces hurled at him.
* [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Dark Woods Circus]] is all about this trope, with a side of NightmareFuel and TearJerker.
* ''Atrocity Exhibition'' by Music/JoyDivision from their album ''Music/{{Closer}}'' (1980) about people who pay to see a barely living man in an asylum. "For entertainment they watch his body twist."
--> ''You'll see the horrors of a faraway place''
--> ''Meet the architects of law face to face''
--> ''See mass murder on a scale you've never seen''
--> ''And all the ones who try hard to succeed...''
* Music/DeadKennedys have the song "Jock-O-Rama" from ''Music/{{Frankenchrist}}'' where high school sport funding and their spectators are compared to gladiator era massacre gawking: ''On the almighty football field/ Beerbellies of all ages/Come to watch the gladiators bleed''.
* "In the Colosseum" by Music/TomWaits from ''Music/BoneMachine'' about spectacle in the arena.
* "Lucky Day Overture" by Music/TomWaits from ''Music/TheBlackRider'' describes several freak show artists with deformities. Tom plays a circus promoter promising "human oddities" such as a three headed baby, [[BrainInAJar Hitler's brain]], the human pincushion, a seal boy with flippers for arms, the man born without a body, and more!
