WHAT is the DEAL with THAT?

The synth trumpets in Suzanne Vega and DNA's "Tom's Diner" (first heard at the 48-second mark) ...


... are just like those used from the 11-second mark on in the theme to "Seinfeld" ...


... whose characters meet there to eat.

Before I get the snooty/snotty comments, I'm well aware the restaurant is remade into "Monk's" on the show, but the real-life name of the place is Tom's.
