Carnival Songs: Our 4th of July Playlist Episode

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Music at a Rational Volume, Nate and Kyle give you the best playlist with songs about carnivals (i.e. state and county fairs, theme parks, or "whatsit-local" days celebrations). Enjoy an eclectic list of tunes hitting all the sketchy rides, fatty foods, and questionable decisions involved with participating in all the summer fun that poorly maintained contraptions and iffy vendors can provide. Oh, and happy Independence Day to our USA listeners, and to everyone else happy regular old 4th of July!This week's playlist: Carnival SongsTilt-a-Whirl - SlobberboneWall of Death (Linda & Richard Thompson cover) - R.E.M.Tunnel of Love - Bruce SpringsteenSide Show Blues - Todd SniderStuart - Dead MilkmenRollercoaster - BleachersInside the Electric Circus - WASPCarnival - Natalie MerchantPsycho Circus - KissPatient Ferris Wheel - the Gaslight AnthemThe Mighty MN State Fair - Billy DankertLakeside Park - RushRollercoaster - the Jesus and Mary ChainTurn For the Worse - the Bottle RocketsPalisades Park (Freddy Cannon cover) - RamonesThe Ferris Wheel - Everly BrothersBumper Cars - Trapper SchoeppMy MN State Fair - Ann ReedCarnival - Bikini KillThe Midway - Insane Clown PosseWild Billy’s Circus Story - Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band The Flying Wallendas – Drive-By Truckers Fairground Blues – the Walkabouts Tattooed Lady and the Alligator Man – Marcia Ball Dusty Old Fairgrounds – Jimmy LaFave Carney Man – Cross Canadian Ragweed Eastern European Carney Man – Drivin’ n’ Cryin’ Carny – Momma Corn Dog – Maury D. Sideshow – Alice Cooper Under the Circus Lights – Owl City Clowns are Experts (at Making Us Laugh) – the Vandals 4th of July (Dave Alvin cover) – XKarn Evil 9 1st Impression, pt 2 - Emerson, Lake & PalmerCarousel - Miranda Lambert The Fair’s Moving On - Elvis Coney Island Fair – the Other FavoritesAll The Bearded Ladies - The BeardsSupport the Podcast at : Buy Me A CoffeeMusicatarationalvolume.com@MARVpodcast on Twittermusicatatrationvolume profile on Spotify for episode playlists based on topics discussed
