When I see a music box, I cannot help but turn the crank and I'm always delighted by the little music that comes out of the box. It brings back the souvenir of when I first heard the tune, when I was much smaller. What's magical, is that you never know what is going to come out of the box...
The song "Spieluhr" (which means "music box" in German) by Rammstein (cf. the link) is about a little boy whose body is buried along with a music box which he holds in his hand. The boy comes back to life and the mechanism of the music box is set off... The music of the child emerges from his "box" as from a music box...
