I haven't noticed it because I'm not familiar with Warren Zevon's
music.  I have noticed this incidence in other music though, such as a
Bach Concerto, and Lover's Concerto, by the Toys.  It isn't unusual I
guess to find this on occasion. I've listened to alot of country music
and most of the melodies seem the same to me as is the stories they
tell.
