Coincidences

Was listening to a song on the way to work this morning, went into a shop and the exact same song was playing.

On the way out the same thing happened again.

Any strange coincidences for anyone else?

I was about to start this thread.

Again.

Met a lad from school in the 90s during the summer. Hadnt seen him in 13 years. Then ran into him again a week later somewhere else.

What was the song.... some teeny bopper shlock on every ten minutes!

I never see just one pregnant woman in a day, if I see one I'll always see two or three others and then not notice any for ages after

For some reason they often play old songs at the time of year they were originally released or no.1 in.

If that's not the case with your song then - they often play songs at the opposite point in the year to when they were out

You sure you just weren't listening to your iPod on repeat all day?

I had the song Afternoon Delight stuck in my head and then I heard people singing it on Arrested Development. It was amazing

Muise... · 05-11-2013 07:35PM

wouldn't it be even freakier if songs were only ever played once and then they had to die?

theblaqueguy · 05-11-2013 07:36PM

I think its called playing the same radio station OP
Not really a coincidence if you ask me

It was Diamonds by Rihanna wasn't it OP...?

I went into my local library today.

Asked the librarian if they had any books on coincidences. She said "We only have the one, it had been out on loan for the last eight years, but what do you know, it's just after coming back in 2 mins ago"

I'm just settling down to read it. What was the chances?

Maybe it was the same radio station.

I once read a Shiite thread on boards and then I opened this one and guess what....

You think a dj played the same track twice?

Banjo String · 05-11-2013 07:42PM

Is Atlantic 252 still on the go?

Yes I do indeed the dj would play whatever track to satisfy the brainless masses that listen to todays garbage called "music'

The coincidence was a random old song cropping up again in quick succession. The brainless masses listen to current songs embedded in rotating play lists which you expect to hear again and again.

Your storys coming apart at the seams.

Ordered toner as an afterthought in work, it arrived the day the toner actually ran out.....

Mind. Blown.

What story do you mean?
I was just giving my honest opinion that I thought the OP was possibly listening to the same radio station in the shop that he was listening to in the car.
Theres no story here move along

That's one of the most blatant examples of substanceless, last-word-merchantism, waffle that has ever tainted this magnificent talking board.

How do you know if it was an old song?.... because the OP never stated what song it was -

I hear Katy Perrys latest song on average five times a day.
That's not a coincidence.
I generously give the Mr Crinklewood the credit that he's not talking about hearing current chart hits again and again on the radio. Otherwise you'd have to assume he is clinically stupid and or insane. And in which case the whole point is moot.

zenno · 05-11-2013 08:37PM

The numbers 207 keep coming up everywhere for years with me, it's like someone is trying to tell me something. I don't get it though.

What are the chances of that ? :eek:

It's either 1 in the number of good radio stations

or

it's all the radio stations having the similar playlists because they are paid to pimp the latest music industry palp
