If you're an artist or producer and you even think for a fraction of a second about putting a toy piano in a song, you deserve to rot in hell for all eternity.

worst. instrument. ever.


I have distaste for other instruments, but the toy piano is the only one for which I've reserved such absolute disgust.

So... which song prompted this?
 
Autolux - Here Comes Everybody.

The toy piano is at the end of the song by itself, and it just grates on me...

I should add that, since I posted, I've noticed Wilco uses it in song too...and it's a lot less intrusive there, since there are a lot of other things going on in the mix.
