Cool Melodic Morse

I've heard of four tunes with Morse-code messages hidden in their rhythms. All are unconfirmed but plausible (to me anyway).
  1. The theme tune from Inspector Morse (what else) encodes something (probably MORSE).
  2. The theme from Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em (the classic BBC sitcom starring Michael Crawford and Michele Dotrice) encodes its own title.
  3. A guitar solo from Amarok (the last album Mike Oldfield recorded for Virgin Records) has a message to Richard Branson which can't be mentioned here due to Forum rules.
  4. YYZ by Rush contains the Morse for YYZ, the international abbreviation (and beacon pattern) for Toronto Airport, which is their home airport.

Anyone know any more?  Or any other Easter Eggs in tunes, software or wherever?

(Please don't tell me about the Wolfsites; I've learned the hard way that they have tabloid ethics, i.e. as long as it's sensational who cares if it's true.  I gave up on all three sites long ago.)
