A term used to describe a musical style, production quality, or band that is downright mediocre. These bands will often be playing some sort of blues, jazz, or "rock n' roll" and are heard in the background at carnivals and town festivals. Only enjoyed by drunk old people.
1) I was walking through the carnival to get to the rides and I heard some lame-ass Carnival Band playing Elvis covers.

2) "Rollover Beethoven" by ELO is a Carnival Band song.
