Last friday I was riding and rode past two guys walking and one of them, thinking he was oh-so-clever decided to burst out in the the circus song. Only thing was, he got it wrong! He started duh-duh-duh-ing a John Phillip Souza march. I can't remember which one even though I'm sure I played it in high school band. I just laughed out loud and kept riding. I probably shoulda gone back a said, 'No you moron, it goes like this,' and done it the right way.
I got some one singing the stupid song this weekend too. I then dropped off of a 3 foot ledge and the song turned to the whole group of people speachless.
it's The Enterence of the Gladiators, right? i don't think it's very anoying... seeing as how they peobably don't know a whole lot about unis... but it's so fun to do that drop thing! once i was riding along a trail on the side of a drop, about seven feet. and there were these kids walking by and they're saying "dudes! a unicyce! da-da-didly-doo-doo dee-dee-doo-da..." then i rode over and dropped off of the ledge and they all screamed with genuine fright couse they couldn't see me landing it! :p

If time and space are naturally curved, where do all the straight people come from??
I hate it when people sing that song or just "laugh" realy loadly, it can ruin a day but when it turns to wow and they start saying how amazing you are and stuff it can make a day.
If people sing the wrong song to me I consider it a *good* thing! 🙂

me too!😄 but that f**king song can ruin a ride for me🙁
If you allow them to ruin your ride, they win. Don't let them ruin your ride. Allow them their moment, thinking they are the first ever to think of that tune, and then ride on. Or have a witty come back. Don't be so sensitive. Worse things will happen in life.

The dress in which I unicycled was not THAT short, but in retrospect, I think that maybe the blue one would have been more appropriate to the terrain.

The only John Philip Sousa march I know is 'The Liberty Bell March'. If someone starting singing the theme to Monty Python's Flying Circus at me as I rode past I'd probably UPD from laughing so hard.
