You may have thought you’d seen it all, but I can assure you, you’ve never heard the National Anthem like this.

On Sunday, the Oakland Athletics played host to the Boston Red Sox in a game that eventually fell 5-2 to the visitors. But what happened before the game even started is the real story of the day.

Instead of having a typical National Anthem singer, the Athletics had musician Caroline McCaskey play it… on a saw, with what looks to be a violin bow. Yes, like the carpentry tool. No, I am not making this up, this is 100 percent real.

Just watch, and listen, to the otherworldly experience unfold before your eyes and ears.

Is it a bit weird? Absolutely. Does it sound like the sound effect old cartoons or movies used for aliens? Sure. But honestly, it’s kind of beautiful in its own strange way.

This video then prompted me to go down a rabbit hole of other songs played on a saw and folks, I was not disappointed.

I love how it’s just a plain old saw, with the musician manipulating the pitch by moving the flexible sheet of metal being played by a violin bow. Definitely the most unique rendition of the National Anthem that I’ve ever heard!
