Trivia

 * This video marked:
 * The last home video to have Bob Singleton as a musical director (unless if you count the screener copy of Be My Valentine, Love Barney).
 * The only time Kristen and Emily appeared together.
 * The first home video Barney is voiced by Tim Dever.
 * This video was originally called "Super-Dee-Duper Circus".
 * The production for this video took place from August 9-20, 1999.
 * The title card only calls "Super Singing Circus", even though this video is called "Barney's Super Singing Circus".
 * Kristen returns in this video after being absent for almost a year, since Barney's Night Before Christmas.
 * David Voss played one of the clowns and The Teddy Bear. This is also another time he portrayed a character.
 * The third verse to "Me and My Teddy" wasn't used because this song was shortened, most likely in an attempt to save time.
 * On August 23, 2000, this video was featured in the Blockbuster Exclusive video, Barney's Big Top Fun (along with "The Exercise Circus!").

2000 was designated as:
 * International Year for the Culture of Peace
 * World Mathematical Year

Popular culture holds the year 2000 as the first year of the 21st century and the 3rd millennium due to a tendency of grouping the years according to decimal values, as if year zero were counted. According to the Gregorian Calendar, these distinctions fall to the year 2001, because the 1st century was retroactively said to start with year AD 1. Since the calendar does not have year zero, its first millennium spanned from years 1 to 1000 inclusively and its second millennium from years 1001 to 2000. (See more at Century  and Millennium.)

The year 2000 is sometimes abbreviated as "Y2K" (the "Y" stands for "year", and the "K" stands for "kilo" which means "thousand"). The year 2000 was the subject of Y2K concerns, which are fears that computers would not shift from 1999 to 2000 correctly. However, by the end of 1999, many companies had already converted to new, or upgraded, existing software. Some even obtained Y2K certification. As a result of massive effort, relatively few problems occurred.
