The Singing Saws

The singing saws are a musical act on the Orbiting Human Circus of the air. They are regular hardware saws which, in the presence of John Cameron, "hop up on stools and and begin warbling out a singing sound".

John seems to be quite famous for these saws, appearing with them in episode 4 on another radio show. Songs played by his saws make up seven of the ten singles at the top of the "popular charts". It is unknown how exactly John is able to make the saws sing, or if he himself even knows how they work, as he doesn't know the origin of most of his popular acts.

Singing saws exist in real life, although they are played with orchestra bows, and do not sing by themselves. Julian Koster is well known for playing the singing saw, and all or most of the saw music that appears on the show is played by him.
