Old movie.  Spy spoof with James Coburn.  He had an alarm watch with a 
little thingy that stuck out and poked his hand while it played that 
tune.  Just a little short thing, but it definitely sounds like an alarm.

You'd think, wouldn't you.  GOD how I despise having 6 levels of

I have was generated by either hangouts or google voice (which hangouts 
uses).
