I NEED help figuring out why a song in Phineas and Ferb's Summer Belongs to You seems so familiar. There seems to be something that is being referenced in the song Summer Belongs to You. In particular, it's something about the part where Candance sings "Now there's something that I've got to say out loud/ Time is what you make of it, so take a chance" and etc. and everyone is clapping to the beat. Phineas puts in little comments like "That's what I'm talking about!" too, but I'm not sure if that's what's making this part seem so familiar. it's just something about the beat, clapping, and how the part is almost her trying to give out her lesson in song. Further, at the "The world's a stage and it's time for your debuuut," the way the music rises and the beat leads to the "debuuut" just seems so familiar.
Is this some kind of "musical trope" (in the sense that it's a musical style/beat that many songs reference and use)? What song am I thinking about/Where have I heard this before? In almost the same way that you hear "Thus Spake Zarathustra" in strong openings, and it sounds familiar, I get a sort of similar feel about this song.
