That's something I've noticed with a lot of composers, and it can lead to
some disconcerting moments.  I remember an amusing moment in particular - a
group of friends had just seen one of the early Star Trek movies and then we
were watching "Wind and the Lion" on video when some very familiar music
came on.  Our heads nearly twisted off as we turned to stare at the TV and
someone quipped "I didn't know there were Klingons in *this* desert!"
