I have the same experience when I'm watching a film on TV, and there's a 
band playing (often distantly) in the background. I listen hard to 
identify the tune being played and identify it to my partner.

Two or three years ago I phoned up my ISP (Virgin Media) at about 
10.00pm, to be met with, not the usual "Four Seasons", but some genuine 
jazz, like Armstrong's Hot Five and Red Nichols. I can't remember what 
the problem was that I phone up about, but was annoyed at having to do 
it at the time of night, but the anger dissipated when I heard the Fud 
Livingston's stomping tenor playing.

Presumably, someone on night shift had brought along their own music.
