One of my favorites, albeit a parody of such moments, is from Hold Me While I’m 
Naked (George Kuchar, 1966). I hate to have to reference a YouTube rip, but 
it’s worth it:

(See 7:29-7:53 for the example, including the perfect timing of match strike 
and percussion instrument at about 7:45). 

Of course, it’s not meant to be taken seriously. 

Or is it…
