Yes, Mr. Chicken, Yes!!! That is the sound I was referring to! It does sound like somebody chopping wood, and you can even hear the chopper exerting himself, huffing and puffing away. Now somebody please explain the significance, the relevance, the context of that little audio vignette to the story and theme of the album. I cannot. I am not trained to do such things.

I always thought it was supposed to evoke a country winter of older times--when you hear the sleigh, for instance. But the thing is, that time has passed away. That's just my take, anyway. I wrote a story about Amused to Death, which you can read at my site--it explains my thoughts on that song, but it's otherwise very vague and difficult to explain verbally.
