He quit that job two years ago to pursue a career in music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a Fair Lover\u201d is a follow-up to a previously released song titled \u201cWisconsin Bars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComing off the song about Up North bars, I thought the next step should be the State Fair. Whether it\u2019s the food, the people watching or the rides, there\u2019s something about it that really screams Americana and Midwest and Wisconsin that fits,\u201d Mueller said. \u201cBeyond that, I feel there is a country undertone, not just to the State Fair but also to Wisconsin and certain parts of it, so I thought that a country song was most appropriate to bridge that connection with Wisconsinites.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_170437\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-170437\" style=\"width: 1335px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-170437 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milwaukeemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_6941-edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1335\" height=\"1335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milwaukeemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_6941-edit.jpg 1335w, https:\/\/www.milwaukeemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_6941-edit-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.milwaukeemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_6941-edit-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.milwaukeemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_6941-edit-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.milwaukeemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_6941-edit-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.milwaukeemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_6941-edit-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.milwaukeemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_6941-edit-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.milwaukeemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_6941-edit-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/www.milwaukeemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_6941-edit-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.milwaukeemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/DSC_6941-edit-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1335px) 100vw, 1335px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-170437\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of Matt Mueller<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here are a few lines from \u201cI\u2019m a Fair Lover,\u201d that details the State Fair menu items Mueller has presumably consumed (or at least thought about).<\/p>\n<p><em>\u200bI ate fried Oreos, taquitos, a loaded baked potato churro<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Bacon wrapped tater tots, chocolate chip shish kabob<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Corn dog, cookie dough, breakfast waffles, Elvis nachos<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Cheese fries, cheese curds, cheeseburger, cheddarwurst<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Caramel apple, cinnedog, hot ham, maple donut<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Dorito pickle, funnel cake, gyro platter, T-bone steak<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Fried butter on a stick, pickle pizza, fish n\u2019 chips<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Potato pancake, pork chop, cream puff &amp;
