The violins at about 3:45 are aping what song??

The lyrics would be like “and you can something something ….lalalalala”

I _think_ it’s “I Want You Back” by the Jackson 5.

THANK YOU. I never would have figured that out ….especially with my lyrics being all off. The violins skip the “call back from the rest of the Jacksons” but actually resolves exactly the Jackson 5 song.
