That three of them are on "We Can't Dance" suggests the overfamiliarity angle, given that it was Davis' baby to begin with. (The three that jump out at me on that disc are an impressive two0-second vocal melisma starting at 3:14 on "Since I Lost You," the entrance of the "We all agree" and "It's just the way of the world" countervocals a chorus earlier on "Way of the World" (starting at 3:32 and 3:41, respectively) and an "ohhh" at 6:54 of "Dreaming While You Sleep" similar to the one at the end of the first chorus.) Curious what all of you think (or will think when you hear them).

As he explained in the interview with www.genesis-news.com:
