I never connected these two songs before, and now I have to spend the rest of my life un-hearing the connection.  Hey thanks, Modell.

Nerdist makes a good attempt to list all the references in the opening sequence:

Completely agree.  Yes, "Are You Gonna Go" is derivative and overplayed, but "Fly Away" is so much shittier both lyrically and musically.  At least change that cheapass Guitar Center riff when you get to the chorus, man — don't just play it exactly the same way through the entire song.

Uh, the Royals beat the Cardinals in the '85 World Series.

We'll call it "Blues Clues: The Movie".
