I think Xzibit did that on an episode of Pimp My Ride. He heard that little Jimmy liked to listen to music while washing his car's wheels so the magnificent Xzibit put an iPod in the wheels.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

I once invented this thing I call the Perpetuum Mobile. It's pretty cool, but it's not exactly what I wanted it to be. I tried to make a device, an engine of some sort, that would run on its own without any power. The problem with my Perpetuum Mobile was that not only did it run without any power, but it also produced great amounts of energy that I had absolutely no use for. I loaded a few batteries with it, launched a couple of rockets, but then I got bored, took the Perpetuum Mobile apart and built an ice cream machine instead. Ice cream machines are pretty cool.
