OK, so I'm finally getting around to listening to Icecream Hands (there's still so much Australian power pop I'm not familiar with), and a familiar tune popped up in one of their songs. The song is "Yellow And Blue," and it appears on their 1999 album, Sweeter Than The Radio, as well as their 2004 best-of, You Can Ride My Bike. A hint of the familiar tune appears 21 seconds into the song, but appears fully at the 42-second mark here:

The melody and chord changes sound extremely similar to a section of the verse (at the 13-second mark) in "Another Nail In My Heart" by Squeeze:

"Another Nail In My Heart" appears on 1980's Argybargy, my favourite Squeeze album and one of my favourite albums of the 80's. It's also one of my all-time favourite power pop albums. Love that album.
Anyway, here are the full versions of each song:
