You like it but it could be better, you tweak it. No pretense, no slop. Here's my rule for whether or not to use an instrument/sound or effect: you like it, you use it.

The soprano sax is as cool as any other instrument. And it functions as a melodic middle finger to the Auto-tune as well, as you can clearly hear its pitch-bending, and sometimes some notes that are slightly out of tune, which makes it sound more realistic as well.
