It's not that any viewer couldn't see something bad coming at that point, I see that, but what many couldn't know is that Catelyn didn't hear an evil song per se but recognized it to be "Rains of Castamere", a song that by its very history pretty much means "Don't f with the Lannisters" , often inducing dread to those people it's being played to.

The series' composer only made the melody so sinister because of its most "prominent" use in the story (so far).

Many probably didn't even remember they might have heard it before, during the end credits of Season 2 Ep 9 (with lyrics).

It's just a little detail, the episode was still great, I just think it's a bit of a missed opportunity for the TV series.
