Of all the bands to leave a melodic fingerprint on Regina Spector’s memory, The Partridge Family seems as likely as any. The similarity is brief but once heard, impossible to ignore.
Listen carefully during Regina Spektor’s phrase “That statue, that statue of baby Jesus, in a window, in a window of a 99 cent store…” and compare it to The Partridge Family’s phrase “I’m sleeping, I’m right in the middle of a good dream, like all at once I wake up, from something that keeps…”
Comment on the parts you think sound alike.
