The difficulty with a lot of proposed perks that are based on media (and I'm assuming this is inspired by some sort of "background music" idea) is that they don't actually do anything when you think about them. They look or sound cool in the media presentation, but are useless as far as the character in the setting is concerned, and don't come across to seem cool to the *players* in the (non-visual) media of RPGs either.
I was in a (non-GURPS at the time) campaign where a PC had an ability like this, and it honestly led to some pretty interesting roleplaying. Telling the other players what music was playing was a way to express the character's mood, intentions, etc. without stating them explicitly in situations where that would have been out of character.
