The history of music is full of accidental masterpieces, here are a couple of my favorites... which start with a whistle. When Otis Redding recorded Dock of the Bay, he and Steve Cropper didn't have a last verse written, so Otis whistled it. He planned to return to Memphis and fill in the verse but he died in a plane crash before he had the chance... so the song was released with the whistle. He was not alone with unconventional endings to songs. A few years later Billy Swan released a studio recorded song which ends on applause... apparently while Swan was recording "I Can Help," his dog, who often joined him in the studio became playful and started tugging at Swan's trouser leg. He finished the take... and earned the applause from his band mates, this can be heard at the end of the released song.
