There was a line from Inkheart that would make a wonderful page quote, but I can't remember what it was. It was something like "She heard a strange music, with bells, flutes, and drums, that seemed both boisterous and sad."

Does anyone know the actual quote?

I haven't played the particular game that Tango is from, but still... robo kitty. :D Hide / Show Replies

As Meggie was going through the dark garden behind the house she suddenly heard unexpected music. It filled the night air as if it had been only waiting for Meggie’s footsteps: strange music, a carnival mixture of bells, pipes and drums, both boisterous and sad. Meggie wouldn’t have been surprised to find a whole troop of fairground entertainers waiting for her on the lawn behind Elinor’s house, but only Dustfinger stood there.

Thank you! I don't think we need some parts, but I'll put the rest up on the page!

David Bowie's "Time" from Aladdin Sane is a little creepy and always sounded vaguely circus-y to me. But I wasn't sure if it had to be played on calliope to qualify?

No, it doesn't. As long as it's creepy and it sounds like circus music, it counts. Although, when you write the example, I suggest you explain what makes it sound like circus music (for example, if it uses any other circus-themed instruments).

Pulled this:

  • Taking that standard "Entrance of the Gladiators" theme and making the bass notes chromatically rising and descending tritones makes the piece a lot more creepy, especially if someone does a still-legged clown impression along with it.

Because I assume it's supposed to be attached to another entry, but I don't know what. If that's the whole thing, then it's basically just a Troper Tale.

Does Elvis Costello's "Sunday's Best" count as this trope? It's definitely circusy-sounding but I'm not sure if it's "creepy" enough. (asking because I was planning on adding it but after listening to the song again I'm having second thoughts)

I'm sure the beginning of this falls squarely under this trope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMA9Jnaznp4
