Side 1 of "Sgt. Pepper" closes with this track. The inspiration for a song can come from some really odd places. John saw a poster in an antique shop advertising a mid-1800's circus. The lyrics are almost word for word from the poster. George Martin said later that to give the song a proper atmosphere, he assembled tapes of calliope sounds, had them cut up and tossed on the floor and randomly spliced together. Paul's bass part is on fire. Lennon considered the song a mere throwaway. Another clip from the Beatles Rock Band video game.
