Well that's what we did - went to tower and told him we needed an approach clearance for the runway, and after a slight pause he gave it to us and then gave us the landing clearance.
I wouldn't say it happens a lot, but more often than you'd like we don't get shipped to the tower (and I'm sure a few times in there we DID get shipped but didn't figure it out, but it's not ALWAYS us :-).
Thanks for the response.
