Is there a musical instrument which, in general, you don't particularly enjoy yet there is one song in which you REALLY like it?



Alto saxophone for me

And the sax solo on Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street"

Of course, it helps that I like Rafferty's entire "City to City" album -- but that sax on "Baker Street"!! Yesss!

Just now I looked him up and Raphael Ravenscroft played that sax solo and he died in 2014. RIP Mr. Ravenscroft. Thank you, sir, for bettering my life!

    Angel: "Welcome to Heaven, here is your harp."

    Devil: "Welcome to Hell, here is your accordion." The only thing worse than an accordion is two accordions.

    That said, I appreciate everything by Weird Al.

    Very good, ha! Thanks for answering, Slartibartfast!


    I have some fun memories of my dad playing accordion. He was pretty good.
    I like Weird Al, too.

    And I love the use of the accordion in Kongos' "Come With Me Now"  -- it's there right at the beginning and through the whole song.  I like this group. :)
