Completely possible.
When I was 13 I wrote a song fragment that I sang out loud to and from
school for months. That was 1958...six years later I heard the exact phrase
and the exact notes that I had written six years earlier. It could not have
been anything other than random happenstance. There is no other
explaination.
The phrase? "Listen...do..wa..ooh...Do You Want To know A
Secret...do..wa..ooh"...you probably know who the band was. And that is
absolutely true.
