Instruments in songs that you would've never thought to put in

For some reason the sax in the middle of Brown Sugar always jumps out at me for some reason. And who in Marshall Tucker thought 'Damn, these songs need more flute!"
And damn, Toy Caldwell could thumb pick a guitar. RIP

Any one that throws in a clarinet.
Classic Rock
Climax Blues Band - Mole on the Dole
Or how about in an early 90's industrial song?
Nitzer Ebb - Lightining Man
Probably the most well known tune with a clarinet.
The Beatles - When I'm 64

I only know two songs with Xylephone.

Aerosmith effectively using the vibra-slap at the beginning of "Sweet Emotion", and Cake using it in much of their music.
And any band that has ever used a theremin in any song.

Marimba on Bowie's "Loving the Alien"
Loving the Alien
This instrument isn't exotic but EVH's Wurlitzer on "Cradle Will Rock" carries the whole song

My favorite clarinet use is a song is in Supertramp's "Breakfast in America".
I always enjoyed that piccolo? in Funeral for a Friend.
AlxTgr, the only song that I can think of with a xylophone is "Moonlight Feels Right". Now, you're going to say "3", right?
The most unique "instrument" I can think of was the pack of cigarettes in The Beatles' "I'm Looking Through You".

Les Claypool playing the bass banjo in De Anza Jig. I think its just a regular banjo with bass strings but it sounds cool and I've never heard of anyone else doing it.
Al Jourgenson of Ministry once did a show where he ran 16 vacuum cleaners through distortion pedals. I wish I could find audio of that.

All flute solos, all great songs. Gotta hand it to the flute.

Do you know Gone Daddy Gone?

I thought of one more song with a xylophone, "On a Holiday" from Brian Wilson's "Smile" album.
Don't know it. I looked it up on youtube. Whose version do you recommend?
