What The Prodigy, Aphex Twin and Mel Tormé Have in Common

Seems I ran over a peculiar coincidence when I listened to the jazz swing radio station on Last.FM. One of the tracks I enjoyed was "Comin' Home Baby" by Mel Tormé. There is a returning segment in this track that appears the first time when Mel sings "Every night and day I go and stay" (at about 0:23)



Seems I remember those chords and structure from somewhere else. Check this track here, "Breathe" by The Prodigy. It's the segment where Keith sings "Come play my game" (at about 0:56)



And since we are at it, here is the third one making use of a similar progression, "Come to Daddy" by Aphex Twin. It's the segment that goes "I want your soul" (at about 1:18), well actually almost the entire track ;)



I'm pretty sure these are merely amusing coincidences. I guess the progression comes somewhat natural, or that the influence was only subconscious, so there is no investigative story here.

I wonder where else this segment will come up..
