I have always loved the fairy song of a gently shaken burnt-out lightbulb. The filament gives off the most beautiful high-pitched, distant-sounding, other-worldy jingle. Most bulbs in my house have been replaced by high-efficiency CFLs but there are still a few of the old-school ones. When I flip a switch and they "POOF" I get giddy about shaking them-- like a kid who is about to let loose on bubble-wrap.
