all i can say is people need to open their minds to coincidence in cases like this. i recall writing a melody a few years ago and then learning a choir song that had a bass line damn near identical to it. i also once wrote something that i later heard in the background music of a sean paul song. **** happens, there are only seven degrees in a musical scale.
