The song 'Mammoth' is one of the very few pop singles to feature a barrel organ (or street organ). The organ, The Flamingo, was too big to get through the studio entrance. Therefore, the melody was recorded outside. Being a manually operated organ, the pace varied all the time, making it very hard to fit the piece into the rest of the song.

gollark: Anyway, your arguments are unconvincing. I will now explain briefly why politics is unimportant.
gollark: Only ironically, such that I was not wrong while doing so.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Just because its evidentiality wasn't evident to you doesn't mean it was unevident.
gollark: That was a helpful diagram! Why did you delete it?
