In the nirvana song "grey goose" from the box set you can faintly hear some shitty eddie rabbit song playing in the background.

Liz Phair's "Shane" has lots of good noises at the end.

"My ass is on fire" by Mr. Bungle always freaks me out when I'm driving because of the car alarms.

That happened to me the other day when I was listening to that record.

On MR BUNGLE's first album, there is a quiet of several seconds, maybe 30, and then a loud glass breaking sound. that sound used to scare the shit out of me when I would be in the far with my tape deck full blast.

Haha it's kind of hard to explain.

Every time I listen to Chinese Takeaway by the Adicts there's this sound at like 1:59 (they repeat it after too) and I ALWAYS think it's my mom calling my name.
Then in Coral Fang by the Distillers there's this scream every once in a while in the background and I always think it's my mom getting scared hahah.

Fuck yes! I thought this was only me. In a Pixies song, I can't recall which, there's a bit where I think my mum is calling my name. And it actually sounds like my Mum and how she sounds when calling my name. Odd.

!@#$%!

Phone sounds are deceptive when you have the stereo up loud, and siren sounds suck to listen to while driving!

exactly!!!

i've had more than a scare w/ siren sounds... i can't remember what it was... melt banana?

there was also one that sounds like my radar detector, so it made me step violently on the brakes. can't remember what it is either. i only use the radar on long highway trips.

This happens to me a lot. I can't remeber any of the songs though. I mostly hear phone sounds.

When i was younger i listened to Idlewild a lot and in one of their tracks it sounds like my dads calling my name from downstairs, it got me everytime.

More recently ive been listening to Battles, i always think the phones ringing, it drives me crazy.

There's a sound like a police siren on Mono's collaboration with Worlds End Girlfriend that has me looking in my rear view mirror every time I listen to it in the car.

I don't recall which song it is... it's on the BBC Peel Sessions disc, Joy Division, it breaks into this synth solo that sounds like rubber ducks, if i remember correctly, with that rotating speaker sound, left, right, left, right (panned).

The dog on Pink Floyd's Seamus is another. It's hilariously recreated on the Live at Pompeii video. I was thinking about doing a mixed cd with nothing but songs that have dog noises.

The confusion phenomenon usually happens to me when I'm listening to something with a lot of polyrhythmic percussion and yeah, lots of cymbals make me think the phone is ringing too.

Songs with police sirens can be funny if you slip them on while people are getting high.
