I believe this has not yet been on the net (who would dare?).

A young music conservatory graduate was hired by a state mental asylum
as a musical therapist for the "seriously mentally disadvantaged".  A
collateral duty was to attempt to form a choir from some of the worst
cases which would perform small public concerts to jerk on heart strings
and thus loosen purse strings at both the private and state legislative
levels.

At first teaching these people to sing proved impossible, so the new
therapist decided to try simple Reinforcement Psychology.  He discovered
that some of his charges loved apples, so he started to reward them with
apples whenever they managed to sing a simple phrase correctly.  Others
were wild about diet soda, so he rewarded them with Tab.

Suddenly the whole thing caught on, and soon he had an entire choir
singing four part harmony well enough to be respectable in public.  So
he took the act on the road, as [Look Out!]
