What happens if you connect a battery to a small light bulb with a single wire?

If the battery is a standard AA or AAA, and you wrap the proper gauge wire around a common small bulb, then place one end of the wire against the negative side of the battery and the end of the bulb to the positive side, it will light up. If that battery is a car battery, then the bulb may burn out quickly.
