Overthinking the obvious V

This afternoon, Green Park's "The Bug" came up during an iTunes shuffle mode session.  I reread the review of it I wrote last year.  As I listened, I thought, "Why does this backing track appeal to me so much?  There's something so familiar and laid-back about it."

Then, I realized, "Well, of course.  A section of it is basically Chicago's 'Colour My World.'  How did I not think of that when I wrote about it last year?" 

Sometimes, a familiar melody is so ingrained, it washes over you in a different context.
