Tho less colorful, there's something about this version of Cleopatra's Barge that gathers my attention.

Eric said...: Some circus music trivia: the spec music played for the Cleopatra float was BALLET EGYPTIAN by Luigini. (For the 108th edition, we played this same number for Jewell New's lion act.); 25 January, 2011 12:58

During spec she held a large live snake.
Maybe the horses passed gas and that's why the driver is holding his noise (LOL).
