Fully! :-) A friend and I were having a bit of a laugh one night making
dub versions of tv themes (basically just playing CD tracks through shit
loads of effects and eqs). There's this one theme we were mucking about
with the start of that has a very VERY similar door bell sound. 

So when I listen to Echo Dek I have this double-confusion of thinking
there's a door bell ringing somewhere, and thinking it's about to kick
into the theme from 'WKRP in Cincinatti'. :-)

Last night I was listening to the Autechre remix of Stereolab for the
first time... there's this sort of bleeping sound that sounds a little
like my flat's phone ringing in the background. Near the end of the track
I was thinking "damn, there's that sound again - this could get annoying"
when I realised it actually was the phone, and I'd just been letting it
ring over and over. :-)
