On the subject of Mellotron Abominations, my personal bugbear is that
god-awful 'Changes' by Black Sabbath. Not only does it sound like the
Mellotron was recorded next door, and the lyrics appear to blame
everyone but the singer for his infidelities, but the piano line is so
fucking ∗rumpty-tumpty∗ it makes me want to gouge out eyes.

You know what I mean

AH FEEL UNHAPPY (rrrrrrrrrrrrrrumpty-tummmm)

AH FEEL SO SA-AH-AHD (rrrrrrrrrrrrrrumpty-tummmm)

AHV LOST THE BIST FRIND (rrrrrrrrrrrrrrumpty-tummmm)

THAT AHV EVAH HAA-AH-AD (rrrrrrrrrrrrrrumpty-tummmm)

∗Christ∗ don't let me gouge again....
