I had an idea with this ... Spring Ding Thing - that I forgot to complete. Maybe Amped up... doesn't look any better from any other angle.

Fugly thing. Does it make any noise?

I'm just getting into the spirit of things.

Now if it makes music I might take it back.

Like ... Hmm.. Even the fat lady can sing at the end.

FIRE POWER !

a few years ago i made a fire powered canjo , the heat from the flames hit the fins up-top and cause the loop to spin , i hung 2 beads on a thread to lightly hit the string as they pass over it . It made a " ting - tang" " ting tang" .. sound . like a light strum tho (sorry , no sound in vid ) .

My friend, you are right on the edge of a crazy Rube Goldberg music device with this one. You left out the part where the mouse eats the cheese causing a marble to roll down a track striking a match which in turn lights the candle.
