Best sax cameo in a song

[hart's shirt]

Plenty of great choices already, but sticking to 80s pop, George Michael's Careless Whisper is a song that was really carried by the sax.

I'll also throw in Tears For Fears The Working Hour from the Songs From The Big Chair album.

A personal favourite is Andy Hamilton in the live versions of Duran Duran's Rio.

I still wear my black hat like the drummer, much to my daughters embarrassment

5 pages, and no mention of Money by Pink Floyd.

There was a clue in the OPs post - Paul Simon, still crazy.
There are some great Brighton Sax players, but I'll wait until I've sobered up.

Train in the distance....

....probably not one of SASTAS either!

Another vote for Will You.

Also agree with the comments about some of the sax in the later Floyd stuff and also some great work by Mel Collins with Dire Straits.

For something a little more unusual, I used to love the band Cinderella who bought in a horn section after their first album and tracks like Gypsy Road, Shelter Me etc have great bits of sax in them.

Finally, if we are still being seasonal, Clarence Clemons on Springsteen's Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

Al Stewart's Year of the Cat has a nice cameo...

How true, Clarence Clemons' solo toward the end of "Jungleland"?

Great shouts!

5 pages, and no mention of Money by Pink Floyd.

Dick Parry got a general mention and Money is a superb example.

Love this track, sax about 3.40 seconds in. Classic Clarence.

Dengue Fever : One Thousand Tears of a Tarantula

Great track, great sax vibe, hot cambodian singer and cool beard. This live session is slightly more sax heavy than the official release. Feast your eyes and ears.

Just because Money is personally my least favourite track on Dark Side of the Moon I give you a more restrained piece of sax from Mr Parry from the same masterpiece...
