I make videos as part of my living. Sometimes I have the most amazing luck with timing music and video.
The video I'm working on now is a fast-paced review of last year's accomplishments for a company. It's bright, with quick cuts, lots of color and a rap soundtrack.
I was asked to incorporate a clip of the company president--a "Hello, and thanks for all your hard work" talking head. Not exactly in keeping with the rest of the video, but the client gets what he wants, so I figured out where to put it, turned down the level of the rap during that section and when the president is finished speaking, the music goes back up.
Just in time for the rapper to say 'Yo, man. You heard what he said." Not planned, but completely brilliant. It stays.
