ivyficI had to send a fax to New Zealand and the busy tone as the fax machine dialed sounded exactly like the end of the song "Young Lust" on Pink Floyd's The Wall.
It's a good thing at least one person in the office got the reference when I started saying, "Hello, Charlie?" in a British accent.
ETA: OK, in order to be completely accurate, the sound of the dial tone is at the end of the song "Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2" and "Young Lust," where it is accompanied by an operator saying "This is the United States calling." "Is that Charlie? Hello, Charlie," is at the end of the song "High Hopes" on The Division Bell. You know you've listened to too much Pink Floyd when you can remember what all the background sounds are. Maybe I should do a quiz. But I doubt anyone but me would be able to answer it.
