Just gave it a play but the similarity seems kind of tenuous. I'll let you in on a secret though - on the last line of the instrumental break I think of a couple of nursery rhymes "...and said what a good boy am I", "...and pretty maids all in a row"

Christine gets in the game, too: the coda of “Everywhere” quotes the melody from Rhapsody on a Theme from Paginini”—Rachmaninoff.[/QUOTE]

I have to admit the ending of Everywhere is the only bit of it I've ever much liked. Sorry - I didn't dig it even when I bought Tango when it was new (my introduction to Mac when I was 13). Again a much more subtle similarity, having just given it a play on YouTube but maybe I just need to listen harder.

Actually the shimmery introduction is kind of cool too.

Thanks to Mick and all erstwhile members for the good times.
