about 100 Studio One songs....(not of which I can think of at the moment, of course...anybody know why doorbells featured in so many Jamaican dub tracks?)

Do me a favour. Obviously the winner is Let 'Em In by Wings.

there's a doorbell sound in Tomorrow Never Knows, just after lennon sings 'love is all and love is everyone...'
used to fool me everytime

Joe Gibbs used to favour the doorbell sound effect, iirc. I always think it adds to the paranoia feeling of heavy dub: something I'm sure Primal Scream were trying to invoke on Stuka (as mentioned above)

I just heard Gwen Stefani's "Bubble Pop Electric" for the first time, and it's got a doorbell.

"Radium Eyes" by Count Zero - or at least the version on Guitar Hero 2 does. Every time I played that song I would get fooled and think there was someone at the door, only to miss a few notes and realise "duh of course there's no-one at the door". Man, that makes me sound like an idiot.

Songs that put in door bells, phone rings, etc. so that you have to stop what you're doing, get up and answer the door/phone when no one is there (as just happened to me): Classic or Dud?

Also see: the excruciatingly annoying On!Air!Radio! song that used a sample of that AIM door-creak noise that signified a new message, which I first listened to when I used AIM.
