Question

Anyone know of this song that strongly evokes a carnival/fairground theme?

There's this song I heard from a long time ago, it evoked strong feelings of nostalgia
and for some reason sounded like it was strongly associated with a
carnival/circus/fairground. I think it may've been associated with film OST though
I'm not sure, unfortunately I don't have the recording only a memory based
recreation which may sound like this (I heard this from 15 years ago, so I may not
be 100% accurate with this) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMPqrLJgmyE . Is
anyone familiar with a piece that could be like this?

Thanks for any help

"Entry of the Gladiators" by Julius Fu?ík: This piece is often used as a circus
march and is instantly recognizable for its energetic and festive melody.
"The Entertainer" by Scott Joplin: While not directly associated with carnivals or
circuses, this ragtime composition has a playful and nostalgic quality that you
might find reminiscent of a fairground atmosphere.
"Circus March" by Louis Ganne: Another classic circus march with a lively and
upbeat melody that captures the spirit of a carnival or circus.
I think so =))
