Of a similar theme of the familiar becoming uncanny is the deliberate editing of familiar pieces of music to make them more unsettling. Below are some perfect examples of this:
Original Music:
'Tonight You Belong To Me' - By Patience and Prudence, 1956.

The static effect present in the audio is very reminiscent of a theme of distortion found in the 'Analogue Horror' motif, which could be something I could explore further in depth. This link has some valuable information regarding 'Analogue Horror': https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Analog_Horror
