birds on the wires
Jarbas Agnelli saw a photo in the newspaper of birds sitting on electric wires and decided to set it to music. Twist: The score was composed using the birds as notes :: click below to watch ::
Didn't PBS have an ad like this? A pianist can't figure out the next measure in a song, looks out the window, sees birds on telephone lines and plays the "notes" the birds represent.

reminds me of the PBS commercial that was shown a couple of years back with a composer being inspired by birds on a wire ...
I do like how they made the film.

Do you folks remember the commedian/composer Steve Allen? He'd have people send in birds on wire photos and compose song based on them..live...
