About "The Great Big Saw Came Nearer And Nearer" by Spike Jones & His City Slickers
Spike Jones & His City Slickers turn dread into slapstick on 'The Great Big Saw Came Nearer And Nearer.' The title's menace is rendered as a cartoonish crescendo—calm absurdity giving way to chaotic unease. It's a laughing record where the saw's approach feels both silly and strangely threatening, a vaudevillian nightmare.
