I think Mike Oldfield has featured morse code twice: once inadvertently on Tubular Bells (picking up a signal from Rugby Radio Station), and then deliberately on Amarok.

Inspector Morse theme spells out MORSE - or perhaps TTORSE as the gap between the first two dashes is too long:

Oasis, "D'You Know What I Mean?":
"The morse code in the background was inspired by Strawberry Fields Forever. We got hold of a code book and tried to tap out 'Bugger All' to follow that line 'Don't look back cos you know what you might see'. But if anyone can tell me what we really said, please let me know. Profound lagerisms..."

Off-topic, but “Dit dah” reminds me of Alan Watts’ description of Indian music:
I happened to have acquired from Timothy Leary some of this extraordinary Mexican mushroom…Well, after a while it all changed, and I found myself listening to this Hindu music. I didn’t know what it was, because my host, whose house I was at, didn’t explain anything. And I thought when I listened to this, “What kind of idiocy is going on?”…And then came this dit-dah business in the middle of it. So I said, “Roger? Hey, let me see the album.” I got the case. And here it’s says: Classical Music of India. Edited by Alain Daniélou—who is the most scholarly, respectable pundit on the subject of Hindu music. I said, “Somebody is pulling my leg!”
