I have even witnessed this phenomenon with non-musicians, as I can recall from at least one time when singing a song in front of a church congregation who had learned the song in a different key. Afterward, several people came up to tell me how much they liked my rendition and how different the song sounded that time than on previous occasions. The only thing I had done differently was to transpose the song back into the original key the songwriter had written the song in (as opposed to the key they had learned the song in, which had been chosen by one of the other musicians at the church because it suited her vocal range).

Don't underestimate the acoustics of the venue - same piece in different keys can sound completely different because of reverberations and resonances.
(Which may be a reason why a "jingle bell" ringtone just doesn't sound good when it goes off in the middle of the sermon [tongue])
But I digress...
