Also, pertaining to the song title meaning, I found this post on another website:

I don't know whether this ties in at all, but it could be a verse out of Juvenal's 11th satire,where he says that all of Rome is in a frenzy at the Circus and he thinks the noise is so overwhelming because the Greens have won.
"fragor aurem percutit,eventum viridis quo colligo panni."
literal translation
"the noise is ear-shattering - by which I guess the Greens have won."
There were four circus factions,the Reds,the Blues,the Greens and the Whites,the Greens apparently being the most successful during the early empire.

Hamlet
