Musical b'day card--embarrassing brain fart

There was “news” story today about a near-indestructible musical birthday card and I know this was a plot point in a t.v. show a few years ago–someone being rescued? 'cause someone else heard the electronic sound of one of these cards–but I am drawing a blank, and google-fu’ing hasn’t helped.

Pls relieve me of my misery, Dopers?

<Gilda> Never mind! <close Gilda> Popped into my brain a few minutes ago, was an episode of Monk.
