I would try a filter that makes it sound like its coming over a radio or something. Lower the quality a bit?

I was thinking that too, but I remembered that "The Towering Inferno" gave the source music (music that is supposed to be part of the scene i:e coming from a radio) a very large amount of reverb, which gave it a sense of "distance" so that's why I suggested reverb.

but a filter would probably work better.
