== [[Commercials]] ==
* Kit Kat commercials do this with the sounds of opening, eating, and humming enjoyment of a [[Kit Kat]] bar to the "Give me a break" theme.
* One of Nike's most famous ads involves a bunch of NBA players creating a Serendipitous Symphony with their shoes, the ball, and the net. In fact, it was so famous, it was even parodied in ''[[Scary Movie]] 2''.
* Another add, for Levi or some other jean company, featured sounds in an ER gradually forming "Tainted Love," with the patient and eventually the entire staff singing along.
Line 26:
** And an elephant.
* ''[[Zatoichi]]'' has the farmer scene.
* The musical numbers in ''[[Dancer in
* Disney's 1937 short ''[[The Old Mill]]''. The wind, cattails slapping on a fence, etc.
Line 38:
** These segments were done by [[Stomp]]. And is arguably their entire ''act''. (Suppose that makes this [[Truth in Television]] then.)
* ''[[Roseanne]]'' had an end credits segment where the guys were sitting around in the kitchen, making random noises... Which they turned into a melody... And then busted out into a full-on rendition of ''[[The Beverly Hillbillies]]'' theme song. This was probably done more for the enjoyment of the audience, rather than meant to be in-character, though.
* Flight of the Conchords does something like this on the song "Leggy Blonde". While it's an actual song with guitars and shit, the rhythm section is made up of various office supplies (staplers, printers, tape etc.).
* In ''[[Scrubs]]'', JD once stalled for time while thinking of something special to do for Dr. Cox. As he tapped his pencil, thinking, the events around him converged into a a serendipitous symphony, which Cox assumed JD had planned out.
** In another episode, JD came to work wearing headphones and musing on how things [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arPNf6aXAYI seemed to go together with his music,] including Doug trying to revive someone he'd killed, nurses handing clipboards back and forth, and the [[Almighty Janitor|janitor]] sweeping, up to Dr. Kelso pulling his headphones off while asking the question that was the last words of the song, "Are you having a good time?" and yelling at him some for daydreaming. As JD walks away, the Janitor is singing the same song to himself.
* The ''[[Cheers]]'' gang [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR6ICOyOnEY burst into a spontaneous rendition] of "We Will Rock You" by [[Queen]] as a result of Norm tapping his pencil.
* ''[[Wings (TV series)|Wings]]'' has a moment where everybody is bored because the airport is fogged in. Antonio is clinking his spoon in a coffee mug, Joe is noodling on a guitar, and Brian is flipping through a magazine. Then Lowell starts sanding the door frame nearby. His rhythmic sanding coincides with Antonio's clinking beat. Suddenly Brian starts scatting, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1dWkr2s6L8&feature=more_related they're doing a full-on Bossanova number.] Eventually they realize what's happened and pause——before continuing right on with the music.
