“Chainsaw Earle” is an original and amusing song written by Wayne Chaulk and Kevin Blackmore of the band Buddy Wasisname and The Other Fellers A popular request wherever the group performs, the tune is featured in at least four videos on YouTube. Wayne claims the song is based on a guy in his hometown who was “absolutely fixated on the chainsaw” and loved the smell of oil fumes and the damage it could do to a tree. “Chainsaw Earle” was finished in 1990 while the two musicians were driving along the South Shore of Nova Scotia and can be found on the band’s album The Miracle Cure.
