Does that name ring a distant chord?

Keith Olbermann, on his podcast, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, was talking about Vince Shlomi, also known as Vince Offer. He asked his audience if the name rang a distant chord. You can hear this at 37:04:

This is a mashup of “strikes a chord” (affects someone’s emotions) and “rings a bell” (sounds familiar). “Chord”, “bell”, and “ring” are all music related and hence the mixup. Props to Frank King for hearing this one and sending it in!
