Interesting, but I've also never heard "Queen bee chasing me," at least not that I recall.

Maybe it was a regional thing.

So many songs have intentional nods to favorite composers, and sometimes, the homage is what makes the song for me.

Case in point is "Toward the Blue Horizon," by Riverside, when guitarist Piotr Grudzienski breaks into into the opening riff from Porcupine Tree's "Blind House," acknowledging their early influence on the band, and on him.

And Steven Wilson, lead man and primary (often sole) songwriter of Porcupine Tree, has frequently referenced earlier works, from artists as diverse as King Crimson, Dead Can Dance and Prince.
